Text communication with the reader:
Click on Get in Firmware Version or in Reader Region, the following screen displays:
Run Inventory Function
After connecting the reader with PC, we can start go Inventory Run function. Please select ISO 18000-6C tag test as illustrated below:
Setp1: Enable ANT 1
Check mark the ANT1.
Setp2: Setting RF Output Power
RF Output Power is the strength of RF output signal from antenna port whose unit is dBm.
The output power range is 0 – 33dBm. Default RF output power is 30dBm .
Setp2: Setting Inventory time & Run
Setting Inventory time is mean the running time when start inventory command.
Setting Inventory Run is mean the running once when start inventory command.
Inventory stop if which time or run up to the setting value
The default inventory time is 1000ms.
The default inventory run is 0, which mean “don’t care”.
Setp3: Setting RF-link mode
There is different read speed & sensitivity in different RF-link mode. To more detail, please check the RF-link profile of datasheet.
Setp4: Run/Stop Inventory
click Inventory button to Run Inventory function. click Stop button enforce to stop Inventory function.
Parameter of AUTO Stop Inventory
| Loop time | Inventory stop when reach the setting of command count. |
|---|---|
| Conti-Inventory | Inventory stop when reach the setting of Inventory period. |
- it will no stop if tick continuous
The parameter of Running Inventory
There are 13 parameters when run inventory as shown as following.
Inventoried Quantity| Total number of inventory tags since click
Inventory.
---|---
Peak Speed| Read Speed of Tag for last one inventory command, unit: Tag/s
Max speed| MAX Read Speed of Tag for total inventory period, unit: Tag/s
AVG speed| AVG Read Speed of Tag for total inventory period, unit: Tag/s
Command Duration| Time between Inventory Command to command, unit: ms
Total Inventory Duration| Total inventory period when click Inventory ,
unit: ms.
Total Tag Count| Total tags when start Inventory period.
Count| Tag count
EPC| EPC data of tag.
PC| PC data
CRC| CRC data
RSSI| The Tag signal strength at the last inventory command.
Carrier Frequency| Carrier Frequency of tag at the last time.
Error Display
ANT error:
Reason:
- ANT is Disconnection to ANT port of module
- VSWR is too large of ANT, it should be lower than 1.3
- Reflection RF power too large, please check is there some Metal around ANT.
Receiver data time out:
Reason:
- Software CRASH
- Interface CRASH
Statement
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution (15.19 statement)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Non-modification Statement:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
Validity of using the module certification:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization for this module in combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Custom design antennas may be used, however the OEM installer must following the FCC 15.21 requirements and verify if new FCC approval will be necessary.
End product labeling:
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: ZDD-FS-GM701-00”.
Information that must be placed in the end user manual:
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
Co-location warning:
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
OEM integration instructions:
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and the transmitter module may not be co-located with any
other transmitter or antenna. The module shall be only used with the external
antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module.
For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in
Channel 1 to Channel 11 or 3-9 as specified above by the supplied firmware
programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user
regarding to Regulatory Domain change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
Important Notes:
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF
module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning
as show in this manual.
