exclusion of liability and make the manufacturer’s warranty/guarantee null and void.
The applicable version of the manufacturer’s warranty is that which was valid at the time of purchase. We accept
no liability for unsuitable manual or automatic adjustments made to the unit's parameters and inappropriate use of
the unit.
Repairs may only be undertaken by personnel authorised to perform them. Opening or attempting to repair the
unit makes all guarantee/warranty claims null and void! Improper work on the unit may jeopardise electrical safety.
The manufacturer is not liable for accidents caused by the user opening the unit!
When carrying out work on the unit, the valid safety regulations must be complied with.
Supply voltage
Make sure that the mains cable (power supply cable) is not damaged. If the mains cable is damaged, the device
must not be used. Instead it must be disconnected from the mains and repaired by a qualied technician. Use only
the power supply unit supplied!
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
The device may be operated only at the stated supply voltage (see the rear of the device or external power supply
unit)!
If the supply voltage is too high, there is a risk of re!
General safety notes
Important!

2. Introduction
2.1. RFID UHF antenna
The new Kathrein antenna family consists of various UHF reader antennas, which can meet the needs of virtually
any RFID application.
The antennas are divided into three product lines with respect to the reading range: low range, mid range and wide
range antennas.
This allows to up 4 antennas are used simultaneously in any combination with Kathrein RFID reader. This modularity
is only possible with Kathrein RFID readers and antennas.
0 to 10 cm - with Low Range antenna
20 cm to 2 m - with Mid Range antenna
1 m to 10 m - with Wide Range antenna
