For Technicians | AfiPass II Installation Guide
Before ordering antenna, conduct a survey of the site to determine which antenna type best suits
the parlor (see Table 2). Selecting the antenna type will also need to take into consideration optimal
mounting locations (see Chapter 5.1):

The 50 cm antenna has a larger range; hence
when there is enough space and the distance
between the stalls is larger it should be used.
The 40 cm antenna should be used when there
is not enough space to install the 50 cm
antenna.
Mostly suitable for wall mounts and feeding
troughs.
Mostly suitable for rapid exit parlors.
The 40 cm antenna should be used when the
distance between the stalls is small or lack
separation, and there is a risk the larger antenna
may interfere with antenna on next stall, or may
read the tags on the cows in the neighboring
stalls, or the cows finished milking and
transferring through the exit passage.
