Application examples for the A5020 CP•

Multi-Purpose
The A5020 CP is a rugged antenna meaning it is ideal
for asset tracking and encoding RFID tags. Thisantenna has a typical read range distance of 4mallowing manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, forexample, to track their inventory throughout thesupply chain, from the warehouse shelves all the way
to the sales floor.

Waste Management
The A5020 is IP68 rated, meaning it is suitable forpermanent outdoor installations. The ‘all-plastic’housing prevents the antenna from corroding. Theantenna can also be cleaned with cleaning agents.
The ~100° beamwidth of the A5020 antenna makes
applications like wheelie bin detection easy andstraight-forward. The physical size of the antenna issmall and thus installation in waste management
trucks is hassle free.

RetailThe A5020 can easily be deployed in spaceconstrained environments such as retail.
With its superb aesthetics and compact design, theA5020 antenna blends well into the retail back drop.

Mounting Information
The recessed corner mounting holes of the A5020 support 100 x 100mm VESA spaced mounting brackets
as shown in the picture.
The innovative slim design of the A5020, equipped with an SMA connector, allows for totally flush
mounting using the corner holes.

In situations where the antenna may be subject to stress on the connector or cable it is recommended touse our Connector Protection Backplate. These protect the connector from damage, especially when
mounted on a bracket in free space. The Connector Protection Backplate can be used with right angled or
straight cables.
Caution:•••Ensure that only finger tightness is used for the SMA connector.
Use of tools to tighten the connector will apply excessive force and will damage the connector
Avoid any load or bending force from the cable on the connector.
