5. Make the antenna connection to the IS1001 reader.
•
Connect the antenna leads to pins 1 (+) and 4 (-) of the 4-
pin “ANTENNA” connector J8
on the Exciter Board.
Note:
If there is a tuning capacitance connected in series at the antenna, the
recommendation is to connect the lead attached to it to Pin 4 and the lead attached to the
coil of the antenna to Pin 1; otherwise either lead can be connected to either of those two
pins. Both configurations should be tested to determine the one that yields the best
performance.
•
Connect the antenna cable shield drain wire to Pin 3 (GNDM) or to Pin 2 (GND) of the 4-
pin “ANTENNA” connector J8 on the Exciter Board, or leave it unconnected. You can
determine which configuration results in the best performance.
•
Adjust tuning capacitance range, if needed.
