GPI Usage Example:
Infrared sensor type selection: Choose PNP NO type, which means that the infrared is normally low, when the object is detected, the signal line outputs a positive voltage signal.

GPO Usage Example:
Relay type GPO: GPO is equivalent to a switch, logic ‘0’ means open circuit, logic ‘1’ means closed, default is open circuit state. You can connect the alarm light, buzzer, etc. to the GPO for use. The usage is shown in the following figure.

Coaxial RF Feeder Cable (optional)

RF cable should use SMA (internal thread, internal needle) connector, the maximum cable length is not more than 5m, impedance is 50Ω, and the insertion loss is less than 2dB. You can also choose a high-performance cable, increase the length appropriately, and try to reduce the insertion loss as much as possible.
Note: The long RF cable or poor contact of the cable connector will cause excessive attenuation of the transmitted signal and the received echo signal and deteriorate the reading / writing performance.

Network Connection Diagram
The network interface is used for long-distance high-speed connection (not greater than 80 m). It can be connected to a switch or router via a network cable or it can be directly connected to a PC network interface. The specific connection is shown in Figure 2-5:

Installation Instructions

Precautions
To ensure the normal and stable operation of the device and your personal property and safety, please carefully read the following notes before install HZ340/380 reader.

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:
4. Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters
5. Serial cable connects directly, no longer than 10 meters
6. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should be appropriate to avoid interference with each other.

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

Device Connection
Connect Power Adapter

• Plug the power cord into the AC power supply outlet and then plug the other end of the power cord into the power connector of the reader and fasten it.
• Power on the reader, wait for about 10 seconds, and the system completes the initialization process and enters the standby state.

Connect External Antenna and RF Cable
The reader built with four/eight SMA coaxial cable connectors for connecting external antennas, select low consumption RF cable, connectors should be tightened (Ensure to be waterproof when install outdoors);
The reader antenna angle or tilt need to adjust to the best position through the actual test according to the specific application.

Connect to PC

• The reader is supplied with different dedicated connection cables for the network, USB and power interfaces.
• The RS232 interface is used for short-distance communication (not greater than 10m). It can be connected to the PC serial port through the DB9 connector to realize the communication between the PC and the reader.
• The RJ45 network port is used for long-distance communication (not greater than 80m), and an extended network cable can be used to connect to a PC.

Install Reader
The reading and writing range of the reader depends on the on-site application, the tilt angle of the antenna is adjusted to achieve the best reading and writing performance.

Acceptance
The acceptance criteria are mainly given from two aspects: structure and performance.

Structural Acceptance

• Whether the reader is fixed firmly without looseness;
• Whether the cables are connected firmly;
• Whether the screws are tightened.

• Check whether the power cord of the reader is connected firmly

Common Failure Analysis and Solution

• Power supply system failure:：
  Check whether the power supply of the power adapter is normal and whether the AC power supply voltage is between 100V and 240V

• After power on, the panel indicator does not light up:：
  Confirm whether the communication is normal, if not, please contact after- sales service.

• The serial port cannot be connected：
  The serial port cable is not connected or not firmly connected Whether the serial port connection baud rate of the reader is correct Is the selected COM port correct?

• The network port cannot be connected：
  The default IP address of the Smart 340/380 reader is set at the factory: 192.168.1.116. Make sure that the IP address of the PC and the IP address of the reader are in the same network segment, such as “192.168.1.XXX”. Connect with the reader, if you forget the IP address of the reader, you can reset the IP address of the reader through the serial port connection or pressing reset button for 10 seconds.

• The reader cannot read tags

• Check if the antenna number is set correctly

• Check if the tag is damaged

• Check whether the tag placement position is within the effective reading and writing range of the reader
  Check whether there is electromagnetic interference between readers or other devices
  For problems that users cannot solve by themselves, please contact after-sales service.
