Note
Use of the antennas in hazardous areas
The antennas ANT 1, ANT 12, ANT 18 and ANT 30 are approved for use in hazardous
locations. For more information, refer to the section "
Use of the reader in hazardous areas
(Page
149)".
ANT 1
The ANT 1 is an antenna in the mid performance range and can be used to the customer's
advantage in production and assembly lines due to its manageable housing shape. The
antenna dimensions make it possible to read/write large quantities of data dynamically
from/to the transponder during operation. The antenna cable can be connected at the reader
end.
ANT 3
The ANT 3 is designed for use in small assembly lines. The extremely compact design of the
antenna allows extremely accurate positioning. The antenna cable can be connected at the
reader end.
ANT 3S
The ANT 3S is designed for use in small assembly lines. The extremely compact design of
the antenna allows extremely accurate positioning even with small transponders. The
antenna cable can be connected at the reader end.
ANT 8
The ANT 8 is primarily envisaged for tool identification applications. The extremely small
design of the antenna allows extremely accurate positioning. The antenna cable can be
connected at the reader end and screwed to the antenna.
The antenna ANT 8 has currently only been tested and released for use in conjunction with
the mobile reader RF350M and the reader RF350R - second generation.
ANT 12
The ANT 12 is primarily envisaged for tool identification applications. The very small size of
the antenna means that highly exact positioning is possible using the plastic nuts included in
the scope of delivery. The antenna cable can be connected at the reader end.
ANT 18
The ANT 18 is designed for use in small assembly lines. Due to its small, compact
construction, the antenna can be easily positioned for any application using two plastic nuts
(included in the package). The antenna cable can be connected at the reader end.
