A1115, A1130 and A1163 True NearField antennas available in black and white.

The new True NearField Antenna Series is explicitly designed for
applications, which require “near zone only” tag detection or involve metals,liquid and other challenging materials. With hardly any far-field components
and no surface dead spots, the Times-7 True NearField antennas provide
reliable tag reads within a very constricted read zone.

Mounting Information

Integrated mounting hole.

Self-adhesive rubber feet.

All models of the True-NearField antenna series can be flush
mounted on flat surfaces using mounting screws. Each antenna
provides mounting holes, which are only visible on the rear sideof the antenna. Please refer to the mechanical drawings for theexact position.
These holes can be drilled through without damaging theproduct or interfering with the performance. For further
assistance please go to our mounting guide.
If drilling through the surface of the antenna is not an option,
each antenna is provided with a self-adhesive rubber feet kit.
These can be attached over the integrated mounting holes tostop the antenna from slipping.

Applications

Constantly increasing market reachand influence in the global RFID
industry, Times-7’s international

Metal and liquids
True NearField antennas are ideal for
applications which involve metal or liquids.
Using their magnetic RF field only they
are not affected by the side effects ofthese challenging materials and provide
consistent read ranges and reliable tagreads.

support spans The Americas, Europe,and Asia Pacific regions through ourdistributor, authorized reseller andintegrated solutions provider network.

POS
Using a near-field antenna for POS systems
is a great way to reduce the time identifying
each item at the check-out counter. An NF
antenna can instantly and correctly identify
all items that are placed on the antenna solong as the items are tagged appropriately
while avoiding stray reads by passing items.

Shelving
The close proximity read range of nearfield antennas used in shelving
applications allows for tracking items oneach individual shelf avoiding stray reads
in adjacent shelves or items which are
passing by. This allows for a more definedand focused read area, in which you gain
visibility over the items that you want totrack.
