XC-RF861 Reader

Note:
XC-RF861 reader enters standby mode by default after initialization. The
reader does not transmit any frequency during initialization and under
standby mode (RF amplifier is turned off). RF amplifier only enters into
operating condition after being connected to the antenna or current load
and received “read or write tag command” or “start amplifier” command
from the PC.
The RF cable connectors of the reader must be tightened, otherwise
the tag reading distance and tag written success rate will be directly
impacted;
This reader is not suitable to be use in unstable environment, such as
during the transportation process;
The reader should be install in sheltered and well-ventilated places,
protected from the rain, humidity and the sun (not suitable for places
with high humidity);
Measure and estimate the distance between the equipment and the
system (for example the reader and the antenna, the reader and the PC,
the reader and the power outlet);
Check if the location and direction of the reader and the antenna will
generate signal interference to the information exchange between the
reader and the electronic tag;
Take note of the choice and length limitation of the serial cable (serial
cable < 10m, network cable < 70m);
During the installation of multiple readers or a high concentration of
readers, take note of the antenna positioning and minimum distance
between each antenna to avoid mutual interference;
When connected to DC, avoid reversing the positive and negative
terminal as well as open circuit.
Avoid supplying the reader with DC higher than 30V.
