IO output-
Pin 4，5，6 are power output, which can output a maximum current of 12V/300mA under software
control, these ports can be power supply for external devices or as normal IO output ports.
When using this interface, please avoid short-circuiting the output interface directly to the ground and
overloading, also pay attention to the circuit and load of the external device, if the external device power
exceeds the limit, the reader will automatically open circuit for protection.

Pin 7,8,9,10 are IO relay output, can execute open/close state under software control, the load of
ports are AC125V/1A or DC30V/1A.
Definition:
“OUT1”corresponds pin 7, 8, as output port 1, normally open state；
“OUT2”corresponds pin 9, 10 as output port 2, normally open state.
Pin 11,12,13,14 are IO input ports for detecting external input of level signals. When detect input level
0.5V~16V state high, and 0~0.5V state low.
Definition:
“IN1”corresponds pin 11，12，as input port 1, “+”(pin 11)is positive，“-”(pin 12) is negative.
“IN2”corresponds pin 13，14，as input port 2, “+”(pin 13) is positive，“-”(pin 14) is negative.
The IO input is internally optocoupled for opto-isolation, so be careful not to apply more than 16V
to the input pins. If you have special needs, please contact our company or the agent to determine the
solution.
3.3 LED Indicator
Pic LED Indicator
The upper panel of the reader has6 LED indicators. Each indicator has a corresponding icon.The meaning
of the icons from left to right is as follows:
Power indicator, red/green, red means power on, green remains unused;
Antenna 1 indicator, red/green, green indicates antenna is enabled, red indicates reader is using the
antenna to transmit signal.
Antenna 2 indicator, red/green, green indicates antenna is enabled, red indicates reader is using the
antenna to transmit signal.
Antenna 3 indicator, red/green, green indicates antenna is enabled, red indicates reader is using the
antenna to transmit signal.

Antenna 4 indicator, red/green, green indicates antenna is enabled, red indicates reader is using the
antenna to transmit signal.
Reading indicator, red/green, green flashing indicates that the reader correctly reads the tags, red
remains unused.
The built-in buzzer of the reader is used to indicate the working status of the reader. When power
on and self-checking successfully, there will be one beep and 2 beeps when reader start successfully.
4 Installation
4.1 Precautions
Reader input power supply is DC 12V±20%, please check your supply voltage range before
installing and ensure that the equipment is grounded!
Any radio transmitting device, including this device, may interfere with the operation of
medical devices that are not properly protected.
The installation location should be protected from rain, moisture and sun, and well ventilated.
Measure and estimate the connection distance between device and control centre.
Pay attention to the length limitation of USB cable and Ethernet cable.
Test well before installation.
When installing multi-readers, pay attention to antenna installation angle and the minimum
distance between antennas to avoid interference.
4.2 Installation
The reader can be installed in desktop or wall mount, and the mounting holes are as shown in Figure
below.
Prepare the mounting holes on wall or brackets based on the reader installing location, and then screw
the reader on wall or bracelets.

Wall Mount installation
4.3 Reader Connection
The readerand thePC canbe connected through anetwork port(TCP), USBand a serial port(RS232);
the reader and the antenna are connected by an RF cable, and the RF cable connector uses a TNC male.

Please refer to software instruction.
6 Routine Maintenance and Repair
This chapter is used to introduce the problem may encounter when using HT-F580 reader and the
simple fault diagnosis method。
If the consumer has problem or doubt in self -software control,please use the "reader
management software" for test to confirm whether it is caused bysoftware or by the reader.The
configuration of the "reader management software"and the demo function have almost cover
all the consumer functions.You can ask our Technical support for fictional realization.

6.1 Common fault analysis and solve method
1) After switch on power light is not bright
Power supply system problem: check the reliability of power voltage, power connection etc, device power
adaptor supply voltage should be within 12V±20%.
2) After power on and connect via Ethernet to reader manager software, connection failure.
HT-F580 reader default IP address: 192.168.1.110, port 5084. For first time connection, make sure
PC and reader IP at the same segment, ex. 192.168.1.XXX, XXX can be any digit except 110. If
reader IP was changed and forgot, user have to connect reader via RS232 or USB to software to
reset IP.
3) Run reader manager software failure, prompting "Application initialization failed (0xc0150002)
failed. Please click "OK" to terminate the application".
The problem is because the lack of the Microsoft VC2005 runtime distribution package, run the
vcredist_x86.exe application in the reader manager software directory, no need to restart.
4) After power on and connect via RS232cable to reader manager software, connection failure.
a) Check whether the serial port line isconnected tightly. It's suggested to reconnect the serial
port line with computer again.
b) Check whether using the line from the accessories. If not, please check whether the line
can satisfy the requirement. Use the multimeter to test whether pin 2 is conducted with pin
3; similarly, test whether pin 3 is conducted with pin 2; and test whether both ends of pin 5
is connected.
c) Check whether there are multi-serial ports on computer or controller, and make sure
software choose the correct port number as actual using.
d) Check the Baud rate. Make sure the software the same Baud rate as the reader
configuration. You can get the Baud rate in the "communication parameters" interface. After
enter into the interface, double click the "Serial port speed detection" to get the Baud rate.
e) Windows system has monopolized in serial port using. Please check whether other
software is using the serial port.
f) Check whether the serial port is breakdown. You change anther serial port in other PC to
test or use other devices to test the serial port.
g) If PC one side is using the "USB serial port" device, the drive of the device may be
incompatible with API software. Especially for the device has installed the reader USB drive.
h) You can check the reader function by USB or Ethernet connection.

5) After power on and connect via USB to reader manager software, connection failure.
Check whether the USB data line is connected tightly. It's suggested to reconnect the USB
data line with computer again.
Check whether the USB data line is in good condition: Use other USB devices or
multimeter for test.
Check whether the USB drive is installed.
Check whether other USB devices are using or whether other USB drive has been
installed. Make sure whether conflict happen between the two drives.
If you are using a notebook computer, it may be that the USB driver conflicts with the
notebook's modem. The solution is as follows: Open "My Computer" and right click on
"Management" - "Device Manager", click on the "Port" in the model. , right click
"Properties"toenterthe portsettings. Inthe"Advanced"interface,the"COM PortNumber"
menu prompts the currently used COM port number, and selects the COM port number
as another unused COM port.
HT-F580 fixed reader repair requires special equipment and professional skills. Once the equipment
is faulty and cannot be debugged according to the above methods, we recommend that you record the
fault phenomenon and contact the company for maintenance.
