3 Performance Features of the ID ISC.ANT1700/740 SLx Antennas
The ID ISC.ANT1700/740-SLA antenna is a version with 2 DynamicTuning Board ID ISC.DAT ,
Long Range Reader ID ISC.LRM2000-A, 8- times Multiplexer Module ID ISC.ANT.MUX M8 and
additional signal light and buzzer already mounted.
The ID ISC.ANT1700/740-SLB antenna is a version with 2 DynamicTuning Board ID ISC.DAT and
signal light mounted.
Up to
-two antennas with reader and multiplexer as a single gate,
-three to four antennas with reader and multiplexer as a double gate or triple 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.ANT1700/740-SLA/-SLB is a „single loop“ antenna with tuner and have been optimized
as transmitting and receiving antennas for the ID ISC.LRM2000 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 . 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 
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.

There is no need of a direct connection from the GPC to the Host. All commands from the Host to
the People Counters are embedded in the Pickyback Command of the reader.
Normally, the host poll the GPC by sending protocols. Only, in the Notification Mode, the reader
poll the counter values, automatically, and send data according the reader configuration to the
host.
Generally, there are two possibilities to get the actual people counter values. Either the Host poll
the People Counter periodically or in the Notification Mode of the reader, the reader send a notifi-
cation protocol at every change.

4 Installation and Wiring
Notes:
Before installing the antennas please read 5.1 Project Notes .The spacing of the antennas
in a gate depends on the antenna configuration.
If multiple antennas or gates are connected to different readers, a minimum clearance of
8 m must be kept between the antennas or gates. For shorter distances (1 m –8 m) the
readers must be synchronized. The synchronization of the readers is only possible in one
of the Automatic Modes (Buffered Read, Notification or Scan Mode). Below a distance of 1.5
m the antennas must also be shielded from each other. Otherwise the read range will be
significantly reduced. The antennas must have a minimum distance of 20 cm to all larger
metal parts! At a distance of less than 50 cm between the antenna and metal parts the read
range will be significantly reduced.

4.1 Mounting preparation
For assembly the antenna must be carefully unpacked. 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
then remove the antenna.
Fig. 3: Antenna in its packaging
2. After that the antenna has to be placed carefully again on the floor. Now you must remove the
two fastening screws (hexagon socket width A/F2,5) of the antenna cover at the antenna foot
and remove it upwards. Fig. 6

4.3 Drilling the Mounting Holes
If the position of the antennas has been marked or determined 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. 7:
Fig. 7: Floor plate dimensions
All dimensions are in mm with general tolerance to ISO 2768 m (middle).
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. 7). 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 Multiplexer side. All
other cables such as the supply voltage and synchronization cable should be routed through the
cable opening on the Reader side.

5 Typical Antenna Configuration (Gate Antenna with two Antennas)
The standard configuration of a gate with three-dimensional tag orientation consists of one antenna
ID ISC.ANT1700/740-SLA with reader and multiplexer and one antenna ID ISC.ANT1700740-SLB.
If a tag moves, at horizontal line, through the gate, it can be read at least once. This ensures high
reliability of the antenna system.
5.1 Project Notes
The antenna configuration as 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. 11: 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.

To get a optimal performance the reader has to be configured and run in one of the
Automatic Modes (Buffered Read, Notification or Scan Mode).
If multiple gates are arranged with short distances (1-8m) between each other, these will
mutually interfere with each other. In this case, the readers for the individual gates have to
be synchronized and run in one of the automatic modes.
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 4: Design notes).
-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 60 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 4: Design notes).
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.
-The minimum distance between the antennas of a gate and antennas of RFID work station or
terminals (transmitting frequency 13,56 MHz) should be:

-There should be no interference of the Reader from other electrical devices in the environment.
The Noise Level difference should be less than 20 mV.
-The ID ISC.LRM2000 Reader should be set to an RF power of 4 watts.
-When using ISO 15693 transponders, the Readers should be set as described in 5.2.6 Reader
Configuration with Multiplexer.
-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 Long Range Readers using
the digital in-/outputs (N11200-1e-ID-B.pdf).
