The test tag must be mounted flush against a metal backplane.
Note: The default tag read mode of the reader is the protocol(s) programmed into the
reader. Use only those test tags programmed with the correct protocol(s) for the reader.
Caution
To avoid damage to the MPRX, you must connect the antenna before applying power
to the reader.
To verify tag read capability
1. Once communications are verified, enter the following sequence of commands to turn
on continuous RF:
• #01
• #6401
• #40
• #00
2. Pass one test tag in front of the active MPRX antenna. If the MPRX reads the tag, the
terminal emulation application displays the tag information on the screen as shown in
Figure 8 – 7.
