Note Information intended to make a specific topic easier to understand and/or enable optimal use of the unit functions. General safety notes Important! Before starting installation work or replacing the unit, the accompanying manual must be read carefully and its contents understood.
2. Introduction 2.1. RFID UHF antenna English The new Kathrein antenna family consists of various UHF reader antennas, which can meet the needs of virtually any RFID application. The antennas are divided into three product lines with respect to the reading range: low range, mid range and wide range antennas. This allows to up 4 antennas are used simultaneously in any combination with Kathrein RFID reader. This modularity is only possible with Kathrein RFID readers and antennas. 2.1.1.
2. Introduction 2.2. Scope of supply English The package content includes the following: - 1 antenna - associated technical data sheets In the delivery of antennas is included no cable. These must be ordered separately. 2.3. Accessories The following accessories are available for the reader (if you have questions about the accessories, please contact our Sales Office): - Antennas: For use with UHF-RFID antennas; we recommend the Kathrein RFID antenna types ULoRa, LoRa, MiRa, WiRa.
2. English Introduction - Mounting Accessories Order number Type Product type 52010005 MK-WiRa30 Wall mount/mast mounting set for 30° WiRa antennas 52010128 MK-ARU WiRa70 Wall mount/mast mounting set for RFID antennas and RRU4/ ARU4-readers (to 6.0 kg total weight).
3. Product description 3.1. Low range antennas English The low range antennas are a highlight of the new antenna series. With dimensions of 90 x 63 mm, these antennas have a high field concentration in the near-field, with significantly reduced antenna gain in the far-field. With these properties, the antennas achieve outstanding writing/reading performence at ranges of up to 10 cm with a typical selectivity of 5 cm. Low range antennas are available in LoRa (Low Range) and ULoRa (Ultra Low Range).

3. Product description 3.5. © KRAI Antennen English With © KRAI (Kathrein RFID Antenna Interface) the electrical feature of a © KRAI RFID Antenna can be controlled by a © KRAI Reader via the existing standard Coaxial cable. The configuration of the reader will be installed with the Kathrein ReaderStart SW V2.xx. 3.5.1. © KRAI SMSH (Smart Shelf-) antenna The SMSH 30-30-KRAI slave antenna was developed for applications in the field of point of sale, smart shelf applications and Kanban solutions.
3. Product description 3.5.3. © KRAI CSB (Circular Switch Beam-) antenna English With the ©KRAI CSB-Antenna, build as a WiRa 30° antenna, the antenna beam can be switched static or dynamically. The following settings are possible in any combination: - Antenna beam initial position (radiation 90°of the Antenna) Antenna beam switched 35° to the left Antenna beam switched 35° to the right The orientation of switching is in the longitudinal direction of the antenna.
3. Product description English The correct combination of reader antenna and transponder is essential for every RFID application. The correct selection ensures a high read rate and reliable operation of the system. The LoRa and ULoRa antennas can read loop-shaped, hybrid-form and dipole-form transponders up to 10 cm and offer a very well defi ned read range. The Smart shelf and SMIRA read the hybrid transponders at distances up to 10cm and the dipole type transponders at distances up to 100cm.
3. Product description English Note To achieve the best reading and writing results, we recommend operating the Kathrein UHF RFID reader antennas exclusively with UHF readers from Kathrein. As a further option, it is possible to integrate the modular Kathrein RFID UHF reader latform in the WIRA antennas to also provide a powerful single read point for certain applications.

5. Installation English The MiRa and WiRa antennas are relatively insensitive to the type of attachment and the materials surrounding the antennas. Nevertheless few conductive objects in the vicinity of the antenna should be presented. In addition, other objects, such as containers with liquids in the vicinity of the antenna affect their functionality. In such cases, a reassessment of the antenna in the particular installation conditions is necessary.
5. Installation 5.3. Wall/mast clamp English Note Selecting the installation location: Before drilling the holes, make sure there are no electrial cables in the wall. Risk if fatal injury due to electric shock ! Make sure that the wall / the mast has a sufficient capacity. Use the appropriate mounting hardware (not included). You may need to strengthen the wall of your desired mounting location or use a different masts. 5.3.1.
