ANT515 ANT516 2 Safety instructions General • The unit described is a subcomponent for integration into a system. – The system architect is responsible for the safety of the system. – The system architect undertakes to perform a risk assessment and to create documentation in accordance with legal and normative requirements to be provided to the operator and user of the system.
ANT515 ANT516 3 Intended use The read/write head reads and writes ID tags without contact. For use, the read/write head must be connected to the DTE10x evaluation unit. The data is converted into digitally coded values and provided to the evaluation unit.
ID tag. A voltage is generated by induction that supplies the data carrier with energy. The device supports ID tags according to ISO 15693. 4.2 Device overview Article number: ANT515 / ANT516 Function: read/write head Type designation: DTRHF KQRWIDUS03...
ANT515 ANT516 5 Installation 5.1 Notes on the unit installation When mounting several RFID units adhere to the minimum distances between the systems. Flush mounting of a read/write head in metal reduces the read/write distance. Device performance can be affected if positioned in the immediate vicinity of powerful HF emission sources such as welding transformers or converters.
