As illustrated below:
Click Connect, if it is connected successfully, the FW version will display as below.
Text communication with the reader:
Click on Get in Firmware Version or in Reader Region, and the following screen displays.
Run Inventory function
After connecting the reader with the PC, we can start go Inventory Run function. Please select the 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 the RF output signal from the antenna port whose unit is dBm.
- The output power range is 0 – 33dBm. The default RF output power is 30dBm.
- Setp2: Setting Inventory time & Run
- Setting Inventory time means the running time when starting the inventory command. Setting Inventory Run means running once when starting the inventory command. Inventory stops at which time or runs up to the setting value.
- The default inventory time is 1000ms.
- The default inventory run is 0, which means “don`t care”.
- Setp3: Setting RF-link mode
- There are different read speeds & sensitivities in different RF-link modes. For more details, please check the RF-link profile of the datasheet.
- Setp4: Run/Stop Inventory
- Click the Inventory button to Run the Inventory function. click the Stop button to stop the Inventory function.
Parameter of AUTO Stop Inventory
| Loop time | Inventory stops when reaches the setting of command count. |
|---|---|
| Conti-Inventory | Inventory stops when reaches the setting of the Inventory |
period.
it will not stop if the tick continuous

AVG speed| AVG Read Speed of Tag for total inventory period, unit: Tag/s
Command Duration| The 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 starting the 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 the module
- VSWR is too large of ANT, it should be lower than 1.3
- Reflection RF power is too large, please check if is there some Metal around ANT.
Receiver data time out:
Reason:
- Software CRASH
- Interface CRASH
Fcc Statement
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, under 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 under 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 the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to 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:
- This device may not cause harmful interference,
- 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 a minimum distance of 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 follow 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 devices 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 that integrates this module.
- The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings as shown 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 have been originally tested and certified with this module.
- For all product markets in the 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 the 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter tests 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 that integrates this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings
as shown in this manual.
