16-book L-SA1 Library Stack Antenna Reference Guide 1. Introduction General This document provides information about the 16-book L-SA1 Library Stack Antenna. It describes the product and how to install it. Product Description This antenna is composed of two PCBs located on a single ferrite support, 30 mm from each other, providing a large area of detection (Cf Figure 1). This antenna is optimized for use with the TAGSYS L-L100 Library reader for multiple check in/out operations. Due to its specific design, the 16-book L-SA1 Library Stack Antenna can be safely used in proximity with other TAGSYS RFID products. It will work also, if properly installed, in metallic type environments (see chapter installation for further 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 performances when the antenna is installed on the surface of the 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. Please refer to the Chapter Installation of this reference guide for more information. Optimal performance is achieved when the smart labels to be read are placed parallel to the antenna surface and centered on the antenna surface. © TAGSYS 2003 7/18 Introduction DOC10567A0
