Astra-EX Specifications
The following are the specifications for the Astra-EX Reader.
UHF RFID Antenna Interface
Interface : One RP-TNC Connectors
RF Power Output : Separate read and write levels, adjustable from 5 dBm to 31.5 dBm*
(1.4W) from 5 dBm to 31.5 dBm* (1.4W)
Frequency : Hop table with up to 62 entries, configurable in 50KHz steps, accommodating
the following ranges (hardware dependant):
– 902-928 MHz (FCC; NA, SA)
– 865.6-867.6 MHz (ETSI; EU)
– 865-867 MHz (MCIT; India)
– 917-920 MHz (KCC; KR) 1
Note: 1 - The first frequency channel (917,300kHz) of the KR2 region will be derated to +22dBm to meet
the new Korea regulatory requirements. All other channels operate up to +30dBm. In the worst case
scenario, each time the derated channel is used it will stay on that channel for 400ms. The fastest it
will move to the next channel, in the case where no tags are found using that frequency, it will move
to the next channel after 10 empty query rounds, approximately 120ms.
Power
Power over Ethernet : PoE 802.3af in both modes A and B (Supports 100m cable) Will
supply 2.5 W to either USB external device or internal WiFi adapter
Optional External DC Power : 10- 30 VDC supply voltage. Maximum DC power: 15 W
Note
If a DC Power supply is used it must meet the following criteria:
- Be UL Listed
- Meet the above operating specs
- The output must comply with SELV and LPS characteristics
- Have a maximum operating ambient temperature that meets or exceeds the
intended Astra-EX operating temperatures as covered under the UL Listing of the
power supply.
