Procedure
Follow the steps below to find out the position of a transponder:
1.
Press the "Update" button to start scanning.
If necessary, repeat the scan operation if the desired transponder was not detected.
2.
From the transponder list, select the EPC ID of the transponder whose position you want to
locate.
Reaction: The selected EPC ID is transferred to the "Tag to be located" input box.
3.
Via the option buttons, select whether the complete EPC ID of the detected transponder
matches that of the selected transponder exactly or whether only part of the EPC ID has to
match.
4.
If you selected the "Starts with..." option:
In the "Tag to be located" input box, enter the part of the EPC ID that needs to match the
selected transponder.
When searching for multiple transponders with the "Starts with ..." option, note that you
can only remove digits starting from the end of the EPC ID.
5.
Press the "Locate" button to start searching.
Reaction: The view changes to search mode.
6.
Now move through the room with the reader while moving the reader.
As soon as the reader identifies the selected transponder, this is signaled both optically
and acoustically. The reader shows the received RSSI signal strength with which the target
transponder was identified. Based on the displayed signal strength, you can "work your
way" to the selected target transponder and locate it.
Note: The localization operation is automatically stopped after 118 seconds to avoid
overheating of the head module.
