2 Performance Features of ID ANT.U290/290-FCC
Performance Features
The antenna ID ANT.U290/290-FCC is a circular polarized antenna and can be used at operating
frequencies in the UHF range from 902 MHz – 928 MHz.
Due to the circular polarization a reading of transponders is possible in random orientations.
The antenna is optimized for the UHF frequency band dedicated to RFID applications under FCC. In this
frequency band the antenna offers best possible reading performance.

Installation
The ID ANT.U290/290-FCC is designed to be mounted outdoors. Four holes for M5 screws are provided on
the backside of the housing for mounting on a VESA bracket. The screws used should have a screw-in depth
of maximum 8 mm (0.3"). For secondary protection the antenna can be secured by means of an eye bolt,
that should be fixed with screw locking varnish, and e.g. a wire rope. The suitable accessory ID ANT.UEB-A
can be purchased from FEIG ELECTRONIC.

CAUTION:
•Do not exceed the bending radius of the connection cable (15 mm static, 30 mm dynamic) to
prevent damage and a decrease of the antenna performance.
•To keep the full protection class and to prevent performance losses of the antenna it needs to be
ensured that the screw plug is not damaged.
