AIR300 Hardware Manual for WAPro-G4
The reading ranges are up to 25 centimeters for large, high quality transponders. For small
injectable tags (like used for pets, e.g. 2x12mm), the reading ranges are much smaller. This is
due to physical laws and thus cannot be changed.
The optional external antennas also contain a ferrite rod. Hence the reading characteristics are
similar to the AIR300 internal antenna.

Using an external antenna
Agrident also provides external antennas for the AIR300, for example the AEA580. External
antennas extend the physical read range while the electrical characteristics are similar to the
internal antenna.
This antenna can be connected to the AIR300 by using the external antenna connector on top
of the reader.
