mounted.
The ID ISC.ANT1300/680 Type BL antenna is a version with Manual Tuning Board ID ISC.MAT
and Alarm LED mounted.
Up to
-two antennas with reader and power splitter as a single 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.ANT1300/680 –A/-B/-BL is a „figure-of-eight“ antenna 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 . 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.MAT Manual
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 90 cm. When installing in different ambient
conditions the antenna can be retuned using a suitable measuring device (e.g. SWR-Meter). 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.

3.3 Installing the antenna
Notes:
Before installing the antennas please read 4.1 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 separation of
8 m must be kept between the antennas or gates. For shorter distances the antennas must
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.
3.3.1Drilling the Mounting Holes
If the position of the antennas has been marked or determined, the antenna base , which has 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. 4:
Fig. 4: 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. 4). 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 at the sides of the antenna bas like shown in Fig. 5

4 Typical Antenna Configuration (Gate Antenna with two Antennas)
The standard configuration of a gate with three-dimensional tag orientation consists of one
ID ISC.ANT1300/680-A with reader and power splitter and one ID ISC.ANT1300/680-B or BL. 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.
4.1 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. 7: 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 (Fig. 8). 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 between each other, these will mutually
interfere with each other which could cause a loss of read performance. This could be
reduced by installing a suitable shielding.

Table 2: Capture area, unintentional detection
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 30 mV.
-The ID ISC.LR2000 Reader should be set to an RF power of 5 watts.
-When using ISO 15693 transponders, the Readers should be set as described in 4.2.6 Reader
Configuration with Power Splitter.
-If multiple gates are operated at the same time at a distance of less than 8 m, a loss of read
performance due to high interferences could happen. This could be reduced by installing a
suitable shielding.

Note:
A reverse polarity could damage the device or the In-/Outputs.
The coax cables have fixed lengths and may not be shortened and therefore need to be tied into
small loops (see). Tie all cables as far away from the antenna conductor as possible. The cables
must never be allowed to contact the antenna conductor. The cable from antenna type B/BL to the
antenna type AL should preferably be connected shortly. Unused cable lengths are possible should
be tied in antenna B/BL type.
