Reading distance:up to 8 m, depending on the type of transponder
Field strength in 8m distance:99 dBμV/m average , 102 dBμV/m peak
Interface:Wiegand, RS485
Voltage supply:24V (18V...30V)
3.Operation
Two different frequency ranges are used to communicate with the transponder. The
activating of a transponder and data exchange to the transponder takes place within a low
frequent 8,1 kHz-field. Data exchange from the transponder to the reader takes place at
433 MHz.
As soon as a transponder is brought into the working range of the low frequent field, it will
be activated and recognized by the reader.
The transponder stays in direct contact with the reader as long as it is located in the
working range of the low frequent field.
A schematic description of the position of the pins and dip-switches is given in the diagram below:

In the lower part of the card there are five connector rails for connecting to the power
supply and to other devices in the peripheral equipment. The connector rails are assigned
as follows.

● During the installation it is important to take care that the readers are not too close
together. The low frequent fields of the readers must not overlap.
● The wake-up-fields of the different readers must not overlap. The range of the field can
be varied by the dip-switches B1-B4.
● Mounting on a metallic surface or on brick-walls with lots of steel reinforcement can
reduce (or unexpectedly extend) the wake-up-range of the reader.
5.2 Mounting
The amanTag compact reader will be mounted to the wall with 4 screws. The back panel
of the device is provided with the according drill holes for the screws and the wire outlets.
The dimensions can be seen in the following diagrams.
