Product Configuration

Hardware Setup

The RAK13600 module is designed as wireless module that allows you to scan NFC and RFID tags and devices. It
includes an antenna coil that transmits and receives RF signals from the object being scanned. Without the
antenna coil shown in Figure 1, you will not be able to scan NFC/RFID devices. The antenna coil has adhesive
transfer tape on it. You can remove the 3M patch film so you stick the antenna coil on the ideal location in your
enclosure. The enclosure must be plastic and not metal, since metal enclosures introduce attenuation on RF
signals.

The RAK13600 module can be mounted on the IO slot of any WisBlock Base board, as shown in Figure 2. Also,
always secure the connection of the WisBlock module by using compatible screws. For more information about
RAK13600, refer to the
