Interface Definition
The EC-RF650-C-ZM has a POWER interface for an external DC9-36V power adapter and a DB9 female interface for data communication. The DB9 female interface has the following pin definitions:

ANT Interface
The EC-RF650-C-ZM has an ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 interface with SMA connectors for connecting antennas. The RF terminal is only connected to the antenna that needs to be used. Please do not open the software for unconnected antennas, otherwise, empty space may damage the reader/writer!

Human Machine Interface Requirements
There is an LED display light on the front of the read-write host:

• Red light on – indicates no data has been uploaded (label not read)
• Green light flashing – indicates data upload (reading label data)
• Blue light flashing – indicates software upgrade in progress

Drawing
Refer to the product manual for a drawing of the EC-RF650-C-ZM reader/writer.

Product Usage Instructions

• Connect an external DC9-36V power adapter to the POWER interface.
• Connect the reader/writer to a computer or other device using the DB9 female interface and an RS232 or RS485 cable.
• Connect an appropriate antenna to one of the ANT interfaces.
• Install the necessary software on the computer or device.
• Place RFID labels within 3 meters of the reader/writer for reading and writing.
• Observe the LED display lights on the front of the reader/writer for status information.

Note:
This device must be professionally installed. This equipment does not allow any antenna to work with the transmitter; the permitted antenna type must be specified external antennas, for example (antenna name: Planar RFID antenna, Model: EC-UHF-ANT-NF0011). This device is generally for industrial/commercial use. It must be sold to authorized dealers or installers only and cannot be sold via retail to the general public or by mail order.
