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.

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.
