External RF cable decription

Picture 2-10 RF cable schematic chart
The connector between RF cable& reader is TNC male, the connector between RF cable & antenna is SMA male connector (depending on antenna connector as well). Try to keep the cable length within 15 Feet, impedance500, the insertion loss less than 2dB. Of course, you can choose a high-performance cable, appropriately increase the length, but keep the insertion loss less than 2dB. Note: Too long of a RF cable or poor connection will cause high signal attenuation & poor reader performance.

External antenna description (optional)
This reader has a integrated secondary antenna. User can also connect one more external antenna.

Antenna performance parameters:
Work frequency: 902-928
VSWR: s 1.3:1 Gain: 9dBi
Polarization: Circular Right or left
Input impedance: 50 Ohm
Antenna Connection: N / SMA

Network connection chart
Network interface used for long-distance high-speed connection (less than 80 m), can be connected with the switcher or router through the network cable, or directly connected with the PC network interface, refer to below picture.

Installing

Precautions
To ensure the normal and stable operation of the device and your personal property and safety, please carefully read the following notes before installing Dolcuhf-R1 reader and writer:

1. Firstly, check whether the power socket is connected to the ground, and to see whether the local power supply voltage is in accordance with the applicable voltage range of the reader;
2. Check the device and the external connection if is closely connected;
3. Pay attention to the type selection and the length limit of the network cable and the serial cable: Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters Serial cable connects directly, no longer than 10 meters
4. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should be appropriate to avoid interference with each other. 3.2

Installation conditions
Before installing the reader, please check carefully whether the product is in good condition and the accessories are complete. If there is any parts missing or damage, please contact the supplier in time.

Device connection

Connected to power adapter

• Insert the power cord into the AC power supply socket and plug another end into the power connector of the device and tighten.
• Turn on and wait about 20 seconds, the system initialization process is completed and is standby state.

Connect an external antenna and RF cable

• The reader housing has a TNC-type coaxial connector for connecting an external antenna, select low consumption RF cable, connectors should be tightened.
•  The reader antenna angle or tilt needs to be adjusted to the best position through the actual test according to the specific application.

Connected with PC

• RS232 interface is for short distance communication (less than 10m), through the DB9 connector and the PC serial port connection to realize the communication of PC and the device,
• RJ45 network port used for long distance communication (less than 80m), connect PC with extend network cable.

How to install the reader
The reading and writing range of the reader depends on the onsite application, the tilt angle of the antenna is adjusted to achieve the best reading and writing performance.

Installation steps

Mounting Bracket

Common failures

Daily maintenance
The routine maintenance of Dolcuhfrl

• To check whether the tightening of RF connector
• To check if the screw fixed reader and antenna is loose
• To check whether the RF cable joints appear outsourcing breaking the shielding layer
• To check if the reader power line connection is reliable

Common failure analysis and solution

Power supply system failures:
Check whether the power adapter is normal, and the AC supply voltage is between 100V – 240V.
The panel indicator light failed when power on:
Check whether the communication is normal; please contact customer serviceif it’snot normal.
The serial port unable to connect
Check if the serial cable is not connected or connected unstable.
Check if the serial port connect baud rate of the reader is correct
Check if the selected COM port is right.

The network port cannot connect
Factory set the default IP address: 192.168.1.116 when Dolcuhfrl reader device ex-factory, ensure the IP address of the PC and reader in the same network segment, such as “192.168.1.XXX” then you can connect to the reader, if you forget the IP address of the device, you can reset the reader’s IP address through the serial port.

Check if the setting of antenna number is correct
Check if the label is damaged
Check if the label is placed in the reader’s valid reading and writing range. Check if the electromagnetic interference between the reader and the other device.
For the problem users cannot be solved, please contact customer service.
