Installation manual AAN FK6
1 Introduction The antenna AAN FK6 is a highly sensitive transmission and reception antenna for the AEG ID reader family ARE K1. The transponder is inductively supplied with energy over a 124 kHz signal by the antenna and responses isochronical with a frequency half of the transmission frequency (62 kHz). The antenna is exactly adjusted to numerous parameters, in order to receive a large reading range with good interference suppression due to external interference sources.

The holding down bolts may be tightened maximally with 2 [N/m]. metal Figure 2.2: False handling of the antenna Because of the functional principle it must be taken care that the antenna is not inductively short-circuited by the mounting construction.

4 Optimal orientation of the antenna to the moving direction of the transponder The antenna should be mounted as close as possible at the site of the transponder. As a rule a paralleI orientation of the antenna to the transponder is favourable in regard of the reading range. ID 200 ID 200 AAN FK6 AAN FK6 ID 200 AAN FK6 Figure 4.
Figure 4.3: Disadvantageous motion paths of the transponder over the antenna Because a transponder has to be long enough in the active reading area to achieve a reliable reading result. The maximum reading distance will be achieved only in stationary operation. The reading range is reduced with a transponder in motion. Therefore the transponder has to be passed closer at the antenna. 5 Electrical supply of the antenna The antenna is mounted perpendicular to the transfer direction of the keg's.
