function in the KW RFID Configurator to reset
the RFID reader. The project saved in the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader will be deleted and the settings will
be reset to the factory settings. For details, refer to "RFID Reader List Dialog Box" on page 6-19.
IC Tag Standard: Select the check boxes of the IC tag standards to read with the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader.
"ISO/IEC 14443 Type A(MIFARE etc.)", "ISO/IEC 18092 Type F(FeliCa etc.)", "ISO/IEC 15693 Type V"
Lock Mode:
Specify the operation after the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader reads the RFID tag from the
following.
Disable:
It does not enter "lock mode (locking)". If you keep holding an RFID tag, the
"operation mode" and "detection mode" will be repeated.
Enable (Holding): When you hold an RFID tag for 1.5 seconds or longer, it will be in "Lock mode
(locking)", and when you release the RFID tag, the locking operation will be
released.
Enable (Time):
Hold an RFID tag to enter "lock mode (locking)". The lock operation is released
when the specified time (1 to 28,800 seconds) elapses from the time when the
RFID tag is released. If you hold the same tag again before the specified time
elapses, the lock operation will be released at that point.
Reading Distance: Specify the distance at which the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader can read RFID tags in 8 steps
by sliding the slider or clicking / .
The RSSI value (0 to 7) of each specified step is displayed to the right of the slider.
The RSSI value indicates the received signal strength, which is the signal strength when the KW2D
Series Smart RFID Reader reads the RFID tag. An RSSI value of 7 (near) means the strongest
signal strength and a value of 0 (far) means the weakest signal strength. The signal strength
becomes smaller the further the distance between the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader and RFID
tag. For this reason, the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader controls the distance between the RFID
reader and RFID tag by judging the detection of the RFID tag only when the RSSI value is greater
than or equal to the set RSSI value.
For example, when the RSSI value is 7 (received signal strength: maximum), reading signal
strengths lower than 7 is abandoned.
Reading Time :
Specify the response time to read the RFID tag in 10 steps by sliding the slider or clicking / .
The time (300 to 3000 ms in increments of 300 ms) of each specified step is displayed to the right
of the slider.
When "Enable(time)" is selected in Lock Mode, the lock operation time starts counting down after an RFID tag
is held on the KW2D Series Smart RFID Reader and then released.
