The antenna AAN Xi9F is connected via a 3-pin connector on top of ARE i2.0x SEMI.
ARE i2.0x SEMI uses an external antenna AAN Xi9F. There are air core coil transponders like disks and ferrite core coil
transponders like glass tube transponders. It is important to understand the impact of orientation of transponders relative
to AAN Xi9F. Optimum orientation is parallel to the top side of the antenna for glass tube transponders. In this orientation,
the highest read range can be achieved.
If it is not possible to ensure such orientation, glass tube transponders can be oriented perpendicular on the outside of the
antenna. This will result in some decrease of read range, but in most cases this is acceptable.
Reading distance depends a lot on the particular installation. Absolute values only make sense based on a particular
transponder. Absolute values make no sense for transponder types, because the values will vary too much. Above are the
guiding principles to achieve the best possible read range.
