An external antenna is an accessory considered when the antenna position of a remote-control receiver needs to change in a gate or barrier project. Metal enclosures, walls, cable routing and the electromagnetic environment can affect reception, so selection depends on site conditions.
Selection and installation
Check the receiver model alongside the antenna frequency, connector, cable specification and mounting position. Do not assume that one frequency band, connector or open-area range applies to every antenna option.
If the range is poor, inspect the receiver, remote battery, cable and antenna position first. Verify the contribution of the external antenna on site after installation.
Technical document
For antenna selection and wiring, share the receiver’s exact model with your dealer or partner’s technical team. Questions requiring manufacturer review are submitted through a dealer, distributor or partner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below we've compiled the most common questions and answers regarding this product.
-
Is an external antenna required for every installation?
No. The need depends on the receiver location, surrounding obstacles and a site check. Antenna frequency, cable and connector must match the selected receiver. A fixed range or compatibility with every r-tec board has not been verified for this product group.
