The DA280X-BL is a 13.56 MHz HF shielded pad antenna designed for precise desktop reading of ISO 15693 tags in jewelry, library, and archive applications, even in metal environments.
Key features
- Operating frequency 13.56 MHz HF with 50 Ω antenna impedance, optimized for ISO 15693 tags in professional identification systems.
- Reading range up to 30 cm directly above the antenna surface, with a limited sensing area to avoid unwanted tag reads nearby.
- Shielded, anti-metal design that ensures stable performance when installed on or near metallic furniture and counters.
Electrical and mechanical data
- Maximum power consumption of 4 W with SMA RF interface for easy connection to HF readers.
- 5 V USB power supply, simplifying integration in desktop and POS environments.
- Robust housing made of PCB, ABS, and aluminum with dimensions 445 × 365 × 17 mm and weight of 3100 g, suitable for fixed installations.
Installation and integration
- Supplied with a 2.5 m feeder length, allowing flexible positioning of the antenna with respect to the reader.
Typical applications
- Jewelry inventory on trays or pads, where a focused read zone is required at the countertop to prevent misreads.
- Library and archive book management, enabling accurate identification of items at loan/return desks and sorting stations.
- Costume and fashion chain store management, supporting controlled reading of tagged garments at checkout and back-office workstations.
