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.

antenna TNC connector, RF cable SMA connector connect with external circular polarization
antenna’s SMA connector, cable maximum length is 5m, impedance 50Ω, insertion loss is
less than 2dB, high-performance cable can also be selected, and the length can be increased
appropriately, insertion loss is less than 2dB.
Note: Poor contact of cable connector or an ultra-long RF cable can cause excessive
attenuation of the transmitted signal and received echo signal, resulting in deterioration of
read/write performance.

3. Installation Instructions
3.1 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 HH340/380 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:
Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters
Serial cable connects directly, no longer than 10 meters
4. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should
be appropriate to avoid interference with each other.

Sharp 340/380 user manual
3.2 Installation Conditions
Before installing the reader, please check carefully whether the product is in good condition
and the accessories are complete. If there is any parts missing or damage, please contact
the supplier in time.
3.3 Device Connection
3.3.1 Connect Power Adapter Or PoE Switch
a. 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, the system completes the initialization
process and enters the standby state.
b. Connect PoE Switch
A complete PoE system includes two parts: Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and Powered
Device (PD). PoE switches are PSE devices, and readers are PD devices. According to the
power consumption required by the reader, it belongs to 802.3at class 4 or 802.3bt class 5
devices.
Choose the PoE switch according to the maximum output power of the reader that needs to
be used in the actual project.
0dBm to +35.0dBm (PoE++)
0dBm to +33dBm (PoE+)
PD Classes:
IEEE802.3af(PoE) include Class 0~3, IEEE802.3at (PoE+)include Class 4,
IEEE802.3bt(POE++) include Class 5 ~ 8

3.3.2 Connect External Antenna and RF Cable
The reader built with four/eight TNC 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.
3.3.3 Connect to PC
The reader is supplied with different dedicated connection cables for the network, USB
and power interfaces.
USB interface is used for short-distance communication (not greater than 2m), directly
connected to the PC USB interface through a USB TYPE-C cable 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.

Sharp 340/380 user manual
3.4 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.
3.5 Acceptance
The acceptance criteria are mainly given from two aspects: structure and performance.
3.5.1Structural Acceptance
Whether the reader is fixed firmly without looseness;
Whether the cables are connected firmly;
Whether the screws are tightened.
3.5.2 Performance Acceptance
Whether the reader is working normally;
Whether the reading range is reasonable.
