Notice
1. The product pattern is certified by the FCC. Unauthorized modification of the frequency,
power, or originally designed functions and characteristics of the RFID reader are
prohibited.
2. This product has a water-resistant design. Unauthorized removal of the screws and
case of the product will damage the water-resistant performance and void product
warranty.
3. Cables are water-resistant. Do not damage the shield, as it will also damage water-
resistant performance.
4. The reader should be positioned so that personnel in the area for prolonged periods
may safely remain at least 20 cm (8 in) in an uncontrolled environment from the
reader’s surface.
5. Avoid the interference of other radio frequencies with the look-up table frequency-
hopping spread spectrum (FHSS).
6. This is a Class A product. Class A equipment shall have the following warning in the
instructions for use, to inform the user of the risk of operating this equipment in a
residential environment.
Warning – This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expenses.

Installation Considerations
1. Install the RFID reader with the antenna paralleled to the Tag for better reading results.
The Tag receives signals and returns them to the Reader.
2. Install the RFID Reader and Tag as shown below.
Correct Misplaced
v

3. RFID Reader Installation Position
3.1 Do not install RFID Reader near metal or the metallic substance will affect the
electromagnetic field type.
3.2 Recommended height to set RFID reader is 1.8 ~ 2.2 m (5.9 ~ 7.2 ft). The height
should not be lower than the location of RFID Tag.
3.3 Recommended angle to set RFID reader is 15-20 degree. Adjust the angle
according to the actual installation site.
3.4 Keep any barrier away from the reading zone between RFID Reader and the Tag.
vi

4. The RFID Reader must be installed at the same side of the Tag or at the nearest reading
range to the Tag.
4.1 Upper Installation
Proper Improper
4.2 Side Installation
Proper Improper
5. Recommended Tag Position
Vehicles
5.1 Place the tag on the front windshield or headlight, at the nearest reading range to
the reader.
5.2 When placing the Tag on the headlight, keep the Tag away from the metal body
of the vehicle.
5.3 If the car windshield glass contains metallic line, it will affect the reading range.
To avoid such situation, install the Tag on the headlight.
vii

5.4 Windshield insulation films that contain metal ingredients will affect the reading
range. To avoid such situation, install the Tag on the headlight.
Motorcycles
5.5 Install the Tag on the front shield and at the closest range to the RFID Reader.
5.6 If there is no front shield available, it is suggested to install the Tag on the plastic
body of motorcycle at the closest range to the RFID Reader.

6. For card-type tags, hold the card as shown below to ensure reading results.
Correct
Misplaced
7. Notice
7.1 When the installation is complete, examine and adjust the environment
parameters again for better reading results.
7.2 Reading range between RFID Reader and the Tag will be shortened on rainy
days.
7.3 When two or more RFID Readers are installed together, co-channel interference
might occur. To avoid interference, place the readers away from each other at a
distance 5 times the effective reading range or set the readers to separate
frequency channels.
7.4 When using the power supply, check if there is an interference problem. If yes,
use the filter to attenuate the power supply noise.
