1.6 Attention
1. Use standard power adapter of 12V/ 3A;
2. Non a thorized person shall not change eq ipment, decompose and assembly, otherwise, it will cancel the
warranty period;
3. Don’t p t the eq ipment storage or installed in direct s nlight, high h midity, dew and other heat so rce place;
4. The cable’s length between ant and UHF reader sho ld not exceed 10 meters. When the length is longer than
two meters, yo ’d better se RF cable of low loss, or affecting the reading distance;
5. Electronic tag’s read-write distance is related to the gain of the antenna size, the angle between the tag and the
antenna size, the labels on items related to s ch factors as the medi m and the s rro nding environment. So in practical
application , please according to the site conditions to select the best match.

2 T e Demo of use
System frame for UHF reader ：
：：
：
A whole RFID system consists of UHF reader, antenna and tag. The host sends reading and writing command to
UHF reader thro gh RJ45 interface. After receiving command, UHF reader sends a specific freq ency electromagnetic
wave to space by the antenna. When the tag goes into the magnetic field, the energy obtained from tag’s internal
antenna will drive the tag circ it, whose internal information is sent. The UHF reader will accept and send the
information to the host. The system frame’s sketch map is shown in fig re 2.0:

to correct the interference by one or more of the following meas res:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the eq ipment and receiver.
—Connect the eq ipment into an o tlet on a circ it different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Cons lt the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Statement
This device complies with FCC radiation expos re limits set forth for an ncontrolled environment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC R les. Operation is s bject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not ca se harmf l interference, and (2) this device m st accept any interference received, incl ding interference
that may ca se ndesired operation.
Caution!
