System Manual, 06/2019, J31069-D0171-U001-A22-7618
The following tables summarize the ranges with the RF610R and RF615R readers, as well
as the RF680R and RF685R readers, since the ranges achieved are identical with these
readers. Note that the RF610R reader does not have an external antenna connector and the
RF680R reader does not have an internal antenna.
