L-SA4 SHD Antenna User's Guide August 2010 Revision 1.1 13/23 3 Overview The L-SA4 SHD Antenna allows multiple books or CDs/DVDs transactions (stack of books, stack of CDs/DVDs) The antenna provides a large area of detection (Figure 1). The L-SA4 SHD Antenna is optimized for use with the TAGSYS L-P101, Medio P200L and L-L100 (please see Caution) readers and is recommended for check in/out operations. Due to its specific design, the L-SA4 SHD Antenna can be safely used in proximity with other TAGSYS RFID products. It will work also, if properly installed; in metallic-type environments (see Section 4, "Installation" for more details). In this case, performance may be reduced. The antenna is provided with rubber base pads for installation in a standard desktop configuration. Although this antenna has been specifically designed for library applications, it can also be used for any application requiring a desktop station which has a good immunity to its environment. The antenna has been factory calibrated to an impedance of 50 Ω which offers optimal performance when the antenna is installed on the surface of a desk or table. It may be necessary to retune the antenna once installed if the environment is highly metallic or if the antenna is installed underneath the table or desk. For more information about tuning antennas, refer to Section 6.2, "Antenna Tuning". Optimal performance is achieved when the smart labels to be read are placed parallel to the antenna surface and centered on the antenna surface. Figure 1: L-SA4 SHD Antenna L-L100 library reader is only certified in Europe.

L-SA4 SHD Antenna User's Guide August 2010 Revision 1.1 15/23 4 Installation 4.1 Standard Installation The recommended installation for the L-SA4 SHD Antenna is the desktop configuration. Its thin shape is ergonomically designed for discreet use at the circulation desk for multiple check-in/out operations. The L-SA4 SHD Antenna is designed for indoor use. 4.2 Desktop Configuration The antenna is specially designed to operate: • On wooden, synthetic or metallic desks (or those including metallic parts), • In close proximity to other antennas. Place the antenna on the desk and connect the BNC connector to the RF output of the L-P101, Medio P200L or L-L100 readers. Figure 2: Standard Desktop Installation Active face 4.3 Active Area in Desktop Configuration Due to the magnetic field radiated by the antenna, a restricted area must be preserved around the antenna to prevent unwanted reading or programming tags during check in and check out operations. Items must be kept out from the limited active area as shown in Figure 3. CAUTION: Always ensure that the reader unit is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the antenna. Also, the antennas MUST be connected to the reader unit before it is switched on. For optimum performance, always ensure that all metallic or conductive parts are located under the antenna. Do not shorten or extend the supplied cable as this may affect performance. Do not place the antenna cable close to other cables, especially power cables.

This mounting kit can be used to orient the active face of the antenna depending on your application. Figure 4: Using the Mounting Kit (Overview) Figure 5: Using the Mounting Kit (Close-up View) Flat-headed screw M4x12 + washerActive face This configuration reduces reading or writing performance (distance). For optimum performance, the antenna must placed above the desk and not underneath. Always ensure that metallic or conductive parts are located under the antenna. Metallic or conductive parts must not be present in front of the active face of the antenna. For best performance, always request an installation compliance agreement from TAGSYS Custom Services regarding your specific installation. The TAGSYS Antenna Tuning Kit Device may be required to verify the tuning of antennas for a specific installation.
L-SA4 SHD Antenna User's Guide August 2010 Revision 1.1 17/23 5 Operation L-SA4 SHD Antenna can be set-up in different ways. The antenna configuration and choice of its components depend on the individual library. The L-SA4 SHD Antenna can be connected either to the Medio P200L, L-L100 or L-P101 readers. The following conditions must be followed for optimal reading performance of several items at once: • Use of Folio 370 tags for books and CDs/DVDs. • Minimum book thickness of 15 mm. • Maximum stack height of 150 mm with a maximum of 5 books. • 4 different tagging positions for books (please see Tagging documentation). Performance is based on these parameters and may vary in function of the operating conditions. When using CD tags, we recommend spreading CDs/DVDs over the antenna area with minimum overlapping of items as the metallic content of CDs/DVDs may prevent correct tag reading by the antenna. We also recommend the use ob BiblioDispack® and/or SCANAVO® for up to 4 CDs/DVDs. Table 2: Minimum Antenna Performance Parameter L-SA4 SHD Using a single Folio 370 tag 6 in. (150 mm.) CDs/DVDs with 370 CD tag 4.7 in. (120 mm.) Folio 370 ISO 6.3 in (160 mm.) These performances have a minimum achievable. According to operating conditions they will improve. According to the thickness and coverage metallization of the CDs/DVDs performance will be reduced especially when dealing with multiple CDs/DVDs packs.
L-SA4 SHD Antenna User's Guide 18/23 Revision 1.1 August 2010 6 Maintenance 6.1 Servicing the L-SA4 SHD Antenna CAUTION: The L-SA4 SHD Antenna contains no operator serviceable parts and must only be serviced by qualified personnel. No regular servicing is required, except for keeping the unit clean. It is recommended that the antenna unit be inspected at least once per year by an approved TAGSYS technical representative. 6.2 Antenna Tuning When the L-SA4 SHD Antenna is installed underneath the table or desk with the supplied mounting kit, the reading performances can be significantly reduced. If this happens, it means that the table or the desk contains metallic parts or other magnetically conductive materials. In such cases, it is strongly recommended to use a different table made of a different material that does not present such attenuation, or to change the location of the antenna under the table. If this is not possible, the antenna may be re-tuned for a limited range with an aim to improve the reading range. To re-tune the antenna, you have to use the TAGSYS Antenna Tuning Kit and perform the procedure described in the TAGSYS Antenna Tuning Kit documentation. The tuning capacitor of the L-SA4 SHD Antenna is accessible from the bottom side of the antenna and is located under the TAGSYS logo located at the top left corner of the label which specifies the product type and serial number (Figure 6). Two separate tuning capacitors are used to tuned both phase and amplitude of the antenna signal. Optimum tuning and electrical cable length are necessary to allow multiple CDs/DVDs operation. Figure 6: Position of the Tuning Capacitor on L-SA4 SHD Antenna Tuning Capacitors under Label When re-tuning the antenna, please turn the tuning capacitor with care.
L-SA4 SHD Antenna User's Guide August 2010 Revision 1.1 19/23 Any re-tuning of the antenna will damage the label but will not void the warranty of the L-SA4 SHD Antenna provided the tuning procedure defined in the antenna tuning kit has been followed. CAUTION: When retuning the antenna, make sure that the antenna is not connected to the reader and that the reader is switched off.
