Compact and rugged, the high-gain A3042 delivers outstanding performance. Built for durability, it features a solar-resistant radome, riveted backplate with VESA compatible studs and rear RP-TNC connector for easy installation.

About

The A3042 is an ultra-low profile high-gain circularly polarised antenna, engineered to deliver exceptional performance in a robust and compact package. With a read range that can exceed 10 meters (33 feet) and designed with a multi-element antenna array that creates a "curtain" shaped beam, the A3042 is the ideal choice for demanding industrial environments.

With a rear RPT-NC connector and an integrated metal backplate with VESA compatible studs, this antenna has been specially designed to make installation a seamless process. 

Key Benefits:

  • High gain, suitable for tracking densely packed assets.
  • Slim profile and rear RP-TNC connector facilitate easy installation
  • Integrated, riveted backplate provides additional durability

Its IP54 rating, solar-resistant materials, and circular polarisation make it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications such as industrial portals, vehicle tolling, EAS gates and laundry item tracking.

Mounting Instructions

  • The Times-7 A3042 has an integrated M6 studded backplate that support VESA-100 mounting.
  • Using the provided mounting hardware (M6 Nuts, flat and spring washers) fix the antenna to a selected appropriate mount. It is recommended you do not exceed an individual mounting torque of 5Nm.
  • Ensure that the cable is tightened to the rear RP-TNC connector to finger-tightness only. Allow the cable to be attached straight and without strain to the back of the antenna before routing. The A3042 may be rotated 180 degrees to position the connector in a favorable location.
  • Avoid any excessive pulling force on the cable/connector and be mindful of maintaining its rated bend radius to prevent damage to the connector or cable and ensure proper function
