2. Performance Features oft he ID ISC.ANT.UMUX 8 times UHF Antenna Multiplexer
2.1. Performance Features
The ID ISC.ANT.UMUX 8x UHF antenna multiplexer is designed for switching RFID antennas hav-
ing an operating frequency of 860 MHz – 960 MHz. An ID ISC.ANT.UMUX allows multiple individ-
ual antennas to be operated with just a single reader antenna output.
It is possible to cascade several ID ISC.ANT.UMUX to increase the number of possible antenna
connections. Here the antenna multiplexers are addressed using DIP switch settings.
2.2. Scope of Delivery
The following components are included in the scope of delivery:
•1 x ID ISC.ANT.UMUX 8x UHF antenna multiplexer
•1 x Installation Guide
2.3. Available Multiplexer Types
The following Multiplexers are currently available:

3. Wiring and Installation
3.1. Dimensions
The antenna multiplexer is designed for an indoor environment. It can be wall-mounted, in this
case the wall mounting kit should be ordered separately. (see ANNEX A - Accessories and ANNEX
A1 – Wall Mount Kit ID ISC.MS.MR/PR-A)

3.2. Terminals and Jacks
Figure 2 shows the terminals, jacks, DIP switches and LED indicators.
Figure 2: Terminals, jacks and operating elements
3.2.1. Supply Voltage
The supply voltage is connected to X1 or directly to the Reader Connection IN. Configure the po-
larity for X1 as shown in Figure 2. The antenna multiplexer operates with a DC voltage of 12 V DC
to 24 V DC. In a configuration with cascaded multiplexers you could supply the connected multip-
lexers directly over the antenna cable. In this case only the first multiplexer has to be connect to an
power supply unit.
NOTE:
If connected to the UHF Long Range Reader ID ISC.LRU3500 the supply voltage for a mul-
tiplexer in the first cascade level could also be provided from the reader via the antenna
cable. The use of an additional external power supply is only necessary if several multip-
lexers should be cascaded after each other.

3.2.2. Reader Connection - IN
The connection to a reader is made using coaxial cable to the SMA jack IN. The maximum
tightening torque of the SMA jack is 0,45 Nm (4.0 lbf in).
The transmitting power at reader connection IN must be at least 85 mW.
3.2.3. Antenna Connection – OUT 1 - 8
The antennas or further multiplexers are connected using coaxial cable to the SMA jacks OUT1-8.
The maximum tightening torque of the SMA jacks is 0,45 Nm (4.0 lbf in).
3.2.4. Boot Loader Interface – X2
To perform a firmware update you have to connect the update cable ID CAB.RS-B with X2 as
shown in Fig. 3. The tuning board must be powered through the antenna cable on IN or through
the terminal X1 as it is done in the normal operation mode. See also 3.2.1. Supply Voltage
Figure 3: Connection of the Update Cable
The procedure of the firmware update is described in Application Note ID ISC.ANT.UMUX – Firm-
ware Update (N80301-xe-ID-B).

4. Operating and Display Elements
4.1. LEDs
The LEDs, located on the SMA jacks OUT1-8, indicate which antenna connection is switched
through. Table 2 shows the configuration of LEDs V1-4.
Table 2: LED configuration
Abbreviation Description
LED V1 (green) "RUN-LED"
-Indicates proper running of the internal software.
LED V2 (yellow)
Diagnostic 1: Communication-LED
-Short flashing indicates when the multiplexer has received a valid protocol from the
reader.
LED V3 (blue) Diagnostic 2: HF-LED
- Comes on when an HF-signal is present on SMA jack IN.
LED V4 (red)
Diagnostic 3: Warning
-Comes on when there is a false adaption at the activated antenna port.
-Flashes when there is a bypass or overload of the DC coupling.
4.2. Reset Button T1
Pressing the button T1 resets the multiplexer.

NOTE:
Changed settings become valid only after pressing the reset button T1 or interrupting the
supply voltage.
4.3.2. DC Coupling
A DC-Offset can be supported on the antenna outputs OUT1 – OUT8. By default is this the supply
voltage. For future uses it is also possible to switch on a DC-Offset of +7 V. The maximum current
for all outputs is 150 mA.
DIP switch 3 is used for setting the DC offset for the antenna connections. Table 4 summarizes the
settings.
