Radio Frequency Identication (RFID), is a method of communicating
information from one point to another point by use of electromagnetic
waves (radio waves). RFID Technology has unique characteristics,
making it benecial for use in industrial systems.
The EZYiD Reader is a specially designed Ultra High Frequency
(UHF) device, designed for use in conjunction with EZYiD RFID Tags,
Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags and also with EZYiD
embedded hardware products. The Reader is designed to transfer
unique serial number information from the tag to a computer, tablet or
mobile phone device of the user’s choice.
The EZYiD Reader User Instruction Manual provides users with
information about the features of the Reader, how to install, congure,
operate and maintain it, together with troubleshooting information.
Before working with the EZYiD Reader, users should familiarise
themselves with this manual and that of the device that they wish to
use the Reader in conjunction with.
It is the responsibility of the seller to provide this instruction manual
and it is the responsibility of the user to read and understand these
instructions prior to use. If the Reader is used in a manner contrary to
the specication of the manufacturer (as dened in this manual), the
performance of the equipment may be impaired.

6Considerations
Considerations when choosing tag type and tting locations:
All Tags, Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags should be
applied to an area of the asset where they will not interfere with the
function of the asset. Care should also be taken to position the tag
away from the high-wear areas of the asset, in order to best defend
the tags from abrasion/wear, which may cause the tag to become
detached.
All Tags, Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags are passive
(passive components are electronic components that do not require a
source of energy to perform their intended functions).

EZYiD® Retro-t System - Issue A - August 2019 EZYiD® Retro-t System - Issue A - August 2019
The EZYiD Reader should be cleaned using a dampened cloth. A mild,
diluted detergent may be added to the water in which the cloth is
dampened, but do NOT directly apply detergents on to the product.
Do NOT immerse the device in water/liquid.
The EZYiD Reader should be handled with care and when not in use,
should be stored in the protective case (as supplied with the device)
