2.2.4. Connecting the Antennas
The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters. Connect the antenna to
antenna port
1. If you are using additional antennas connect them to Ports
2–8.
Antennas can be connected as monostatic, bistatic, or a combination of the
two. If using bistatic configurations, these antenna pairs are defined on
ports 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6.
Caution:
The INfinity 610 is equipped with eight (8) RF ports. To prevent reader damage,
active RF ports must be properly terminated with a 50 ohm load or a functional
UHF antenna before power up. UHF Readers are factory configured to operate on
RF port 1 and port 1 must be properly terminated before power up. Before
activating other RF ports, they must also be properly terminated. Always power
down the reader before removing an antenna or load from an RF port.
The maximum antenna cable length is 10 meters.
ATTENTION
INfinity 610 antenna ports may be susceptible to damage from static
discharge or other high voltage. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) precautions to avoid static discharge when handling or making
connections to the INfinity 610 reader antenna or communication ports.
Equipment failure can result if the antenna or communication ports are
subjected to ESD.
