2. KDC450 UHF Options
2.1 Power On/Off
This option is used to enable and disable UHF. The UHF power is disabled by default. Users can
enable or disable the UHF power by pressing the DOWN button for more than 3 seconds.
2.2 Power On Time
This option defines the time interval inch which the KDC450 can read a tag. The KDC450 can
only read a tag during the power on time. Users can define power on interval times as follows:
500ms
1.0 second
1.5 seconds
2.0 seconds
2.5 seconds
3.0 seconds
3.5 seconds
4.0 seconds
4.5 seconds
5.0 seconds

2.3 Power Off Time
This option defines the power off interval of KDC450’s UHF power. During this interval, the
KDC450’s UHF power is turned off and can’t read any UHF tag. Due to the performance and
battery life, the KDC450 can’t continuously read a UHF tag since it would negatively impact the
use of the KDC450. Properly configuring the Power On and Power Off settings will result
optimized battery life and performance. Users can define power on interval times as follows:
500ms
1.0 second
1.5 seconds
2.0 seconds
2.5 seconds
3.0 seconds
3.5 seconds
4.0 seconds
4.5 seconds
5.0 seconds
2.4 Power Level
The KDC450 UHF can read tags using 8 different power levels. A higher power level can read
tags from a longer distance, but consumes more energy. To make sure your device works
properly, it is important to configure the KDC450’s power level. The default level is 0, which is
the weakest settings and uses the least amount of energy. The strongest level is 7, which uses
the most energy.
2.5 Data Format
When the tag has binary data, the KDC450 can be configured to send it in a hexadecimal string.
