2.4.3 Coaxial RF Feeder Cable (optional)
Image 2-7 schematic diagram of feeder line
RF cable TNC(Reverse polarity, internal thread, inner pin) connector connects with reader 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.
2.4.4 Network connection diagram
Network interface used for long-distance high-speed connection (less than 80 m), can be connected
with the switcher or router through the network cable, or directly connected with the PC network
interface, as shown in figure 2-7:

state.
3.3.2 Antenna connection
The device built with four TNC coaxial cable connector for connecting an external antenna, select
low consumption RF cable, connectors should be tightened (Ensure to be waterproof when install
outdoors);
Adjust the reader antenna angle or tilt to the best position through the actual test according to
the specific application.

15
3.3.3 PC connection
The device provides special adapter cable, including interface of network, serial and power,
RS232 interface is for short distance communication (less than 10m), through the DB9 connector
and the PC serial port connection to realize the communication of PC and the device,
RJ45 network port used for long distance communication (less than 80m), connect PC with
extend network cable.
3.4 Device installation
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

☆To check if the screw fixed reader and antenna is loose
☆To check whether the RF cable connector is disconnected from the shielding layer
☆To check if the reader power cable connection is reliable
4.2 Common failure analysis and solution
Power supply system failures:
Check whether the power adapter is normal, and the AC supply voltage is between 100V ~ 240V.
The panel indicator light failed when power on:
Check whether the communication is normal; please contact customer service if it’s not normal.
The serial port unable to connect:
Check if the serial cable is not connected or connected unstable.
Check if the serial port connect baud rate of the reader is correct
Check if the selected COM port is right.
The network port cannot connect:
The default IP address and port of HL7206C12/24 is 192.168.1.116:9090 ensure the IP address of
the PC and reader in the same network segment, such as "192.168.1.XXX" then you can connect to
the reader, if you forget the IP address of the device, you can reset the reader’s IP address through
the serial port.
The reader can't read the tag
Check if the setting of antenna number is correct
Check if the label is damaged
Check if the label is placed in the reader's valid reading and writing range.
Check if the electromagnetic interference between the reader and the other device.
For the problem users cannot solve, please contact customer service.
