Mounting and mode of operation of the interrogator
The interrogator RFH620 is an ISO/IEC-15693 compatible transponder writing/reading de-
vice with integrated antenna for the close-up range. All the components are located in a
housing suitable for the industry. Depending on the version, the electric connection of the
interrogator takes place via a cable with a connector or a revolving connector unit with two
connections.
The interrogator RFH620 is an intelligent sensor for automatic and non-contact detection
of RFID transponders. In principle, the transponder can be detected on any location of still
or moving objects in a conveyor system. The reading range expands through the combinati-
on of many devices.
