2 Performance Features of the ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Antennas
The ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type A antenna is the version with Reader and Power-Splitter. The
ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type C includes the Reader and Multiplexer. The Reader and Power-Splitter
or Multiplexer are mounted inside the antenna base.
The ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type B antenna is the same antenna without Reader, Power-Splitter or
Multiplexer.
Up to
-two antennas (Qty. 1 Type A or C and Qty. 1 Type B or BL) as a single gate,
-three antennas (Qty. 1 Type A or C and Qty. 2 Type B or BL) as a double gate, or
-4 - 8 antennas (Qty. 1 Type A or C and Qty. 3 - 7 Type B or BL) as a multiple gate
can be operated.
Depending on the antenna configuration, one, two or all three read orientations of the Smart Tags
and various antenna spacing (gate widths) are possible.
The ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type A, B and C are „figure-of-eight“ antennas with tuner and have been
optimized as transmitting and receiving antennas for the ID ISC.LR2000 Reader. It is however also
possible to operate them with other Readers at a transmission frequency of 13.56 MHz and an
output impedance of 50 Ω. The read ranges indicated in this document and the tuning procedures
may however then vary.
The antennas comprise the electrical antenna conductor, the housing, the ID ISC.DAT Dynamic
Antenna Tuner and the connection cable.The antennas are factory tuned to an impedance of 50 Ω
in a magnetically neutral environment at a distance of 95 cm. When installing in different ambient
conditions the antenna can be retuned using the “DATuningTool“ PC software. After tuning the
antennas will retain their settings as long as the ambient conditions remain unchanged.
The antennas can be used for detecting both product and persons. It is suitable for installation
indoors or outdoors if weather-protected.

3.2 Mounting preparation
For assembly the antenna must be carefully unpacked and disassembled into its main
components. This is done as described in the following steps:
1. Place the packed antenna on the floor with the top side facing up. Carefully open the box and
remove the side cover plates. Then remove the antenna and at last the side panels.
Fig. 2: Antenna in its packaging Fig. 2a: Side panels in its packaging
2. Carefully put the antenna down again and remove the two fastening brackets in the antenna
foot (Fig. 3). Disconnect the antenna cable from the Multiplexer (Type C) or Power Splitter
(Type A) and disassemble the cable for the alarm light in the antenna foot. Then the antenna
body can be separated from the antenna foot.

3.3 Installing the Antenna Base
Notes:
Before installing the antennas please read 4.1 Project Notes .The spacing of the antennas
comprising a gate depends on the antenna configuration.
If multiple antennas or gates are connected to different Readers, a minimum separation of
8 m must be kept between the antennas or gates. For shorter distances (1 m – 8 m) the
Readers must be multiplexed. Below a distance of 1.5 m the antennas must also be shielded
from each other. Otherwise the Reader range will be significantly reduced. The antennas
must have a minimum distance of 20 cm from all larger metal parts! At a distance of less
than 50 cm between the antenna and metal parts the Reader range will be significantly
reduced.
3.3.1 Drilling the Mounting Holes
If the position of the antennas has been marked or determined, the antenna foot c, which is to be
used as a hole template, can be used to mark and drill the mounting holes and the holes for the
cable entry. The dimensions are shown in Fig. 5:
Fig. 5: Floor plate dimensions c
All dimensions are in mm with general tolerance to ISO 2768 m (middle).

FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 12 of 50 M50700-4e-ID-B.doc
Cutout for cable routing
The size and type of the screw anchors depends considerably on the strength of the base or floor.
The anchors should be capable of withstanding a permissible load of at least 5 kN per anchor for
all load directions (e.g. for concrete floor Hilti HVA anchors with HAS-(E) M8 threaded rod or Hilti
HIS-N M8 (5/16”) threaded inserts). The size of the mounting holes in the antenna is 10 mm (.39”).
The length of the anchors or bolts should be selected such that they extend at least 50 mm (2.0”)
and a maximum of 65 mm (2.6”) from the floor.
Please follow the mounting instructions of the anchor manufacturer!
Two cable openings are provided for the necessary connection cable (see Fig. 5). The cable
openings are dimensioned such that up to 10 cables having a diameter of 6 mm can be passed
through each opening.
We recommend routing the antenna cables through the cable opening on the Power-Splitter or
Multiplexer side. All other cables such as the supply voltage and multiplexing cable should be
routed through the cable opening on the Reader side.
Alternatively the cables can be routed through the cutouts provided in the antenna base. The
cutouts are shown in Fig. 6
Fig. 6: Cutout for cable routing

3.3.2 Installing the Antenna Base and Antenna Body
The antenna foot is screwed on the floor. Use the adjusting screws (Fig. 7) to align the antenna
foot vertically.
Adjusting screws (hexagon socket width A/F5)
Fig. 7: Attaching and aligning the antenna foot
The antenna body is connected to the antenna foot and attached to the antenna foot using the
fastening brackets as shown in (Fig. 8). The antenna body may be inserted 180° rotated (Fig. 8) .
Both antennas must installed in the same direction and parallel orientation.

3.3.3 Connecting the Components
The antenna is for the most part pre-wired. Only the antenna cables for the Type B or BL antennas
need to be routed to the main antenna (Type A or C). At 4.2.2.a typical configuration for Type A
and B antennas is shows (4.3.2 for Type C and B antennas). The 24V supply is brought to the
terminal (observe polarity).
Fig. 10: Terminal for 24V supply voltage
The cable routing should be as short and compact as possible regardless of the antenna
configuration. The cables are finally tied together in small loops. Tie the cables as far away from
the antenna conductor as possible. The cables should never be allowed to touch the copper tube.
The coaxial antenna cables have fixed lengths and may not be shortened. Fig. 11 shows a
corresponding cable configuration.

4 Typical Antenna Configuration (Gate Antenna with two Antennas)
The standard configuration of a gate with three-dimensional tag orientation consists of an
ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type A or C antenna and an ID ISC.ANT1400/760 Type B or BL antenna.
If a tag moves through the gate horizontally, it can be read at lease once. This ensures high
reliability of the antenna system.
4.1 Project Notes
The antenna configuration described allows detection of a tag moving horizontally through the
capture area of the gate. The tag orientation is non-critical. The tags are detected along a
horizontal axis of motion in certain regions within the antennas. The area of detection depends on
the tag orientation.
The size of the three-dimensional capture area of the antennas is shown in the sketch below.
Fig. 17: Capture area and tag orientation
Notes:
Note that the entire capture area of the antenna is larger than the three-dimensional area
shown in the drawing. This means there are tag orientations in which the tag can be
detected outside the capture area.
If multiple gates are arranged with short distances between each other, these will mutually
interfere with each other. The Readers for the respective gates must then be synchronized.
GD

OBID i-scan®Installation ID ISC.ANT1400/760-A/B/C
FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 20 of 50 M50700-4e-ID-B.doc
To achieve three-dimensional capture of the tag in the capture area drawn above, the following
conditions must be met:
-The gate distance GD depends on the antenna configuration (see Table 1).
-The tags should be at least ISO card size (46 mm x 75 mm).
-The activation field strength of the tags should be less than or equal to 80 mA/m.
-The distance from tag to tag should be greater than 10 cm. If the tag to tag distance is reduced,
the gate distance GD must be reduced correspondingly. This applies in particular to distances
under 5 cm.
-The maximum number of tags (serial number or data) depends on the traverse speed with
which the tags are brought through the capture area of the gate (see Table 1). The number of
tags may be increased in the gate distance GD is correspondingly reduced and the maximum
speed adjusted accordingly.
-The antenna should be at least 50 cm from metal parts.
-There should be no interference of the Reader from other electrical devices in the environment.
The Noise Level difference should be less than 30 mV.
-The ID ISC.LR2000 Reader should be set to an RF power of 8 watts.
-When using ISO 15693 transponders, the Readers should be set as described in 4.2.5 Reader
Configuration for A and B antennas or 4.3.5 Reader Configuration for B and C antennas.
-If multiple gates are operated at the same time at a distance of less than 8 m, the Readers
must by synchronized. See Application Note Synchronizing RFID LongRange Readers using
the digital in-/outputs (N11200-1e-ID-B.pdf).
