SBS-3510 User’s Manual
The instrument supports passive read/write or read-only RFID tags.
The following types of RFID tags have been tested by Storage Battery
Systems, LLC for use:
- Read/write passive RFID disc tag 30 mm, Chip Hitag S2048, 125 kHz
- Read-only passive RFID disc tag 30 mm, Chip EM4102, 125 kHz
Other LF tags (low frequency tags, 125 kHz) may be compatible in the
“Read-only” mode.
Reading RFID tags
The RFID tag information comprises:
- UID (unique identification number) of the RFID tag,
- information if the tag is writable (“Yes” or “No”),
- the method stored on the tag or to which the tag has been allocated
(default = “None”),
- the sample ID stored on the tag or to which the tag has been allocated
(default = UID of the tag).
1. Tap <Menu> and select
Setup > RFID > Read Tag
.
2. Hold the RFID interface of the instrument to the RFID tag until the RFID
tag information is displayed.
3. To read another RFID tag, tap <Back>, then select “Read Tag”, and
continue with step 2.
4. Tap <Back> repeatedly to return to the main screen.
Programming RFID tags
Read-only RFID tags evidently cannot be written to. Instead their UID is
allocated to the specified method and/or sample ID on the instrument.
•
With read/write tags
, the same method and sample ID can be written to
any number of tags.
•
With read-only tags
, you can only allocate one tag to each method and
sample ID. If you try to allocate another tag to a method or sample ID, to
which a tag has already been allocated, you will see the message
“Already in use! Replace?” If you tap <Yes>, the new tag will replace the
former allocated tag (which will then be deallocated).
1. Tap <Menu> and select
Setup > RFID > Write Tag
.
2. Select “Method” and tap <Edit>.
3. Select the method to be written to the RFID tag from the list.
4. Select “Sample ID” and tap <Edit>.
5. Select the sample ID to be written to the RFID tag from the list.
