For Technicians | AfiPass II Installation Guide
The selected antenna's calibration value is now saved in the device memory and will remain
unless the process is repeated and the value changes.
If unsuccessful, an error message is displayed. In this case, make sure the antenna is
connected properly, the connector is in place, and no loose wires from the shield wire of the
coax cable are shorted.
4. Repeat the calibration process for all the antennas.
8.4 Setting Transmission Power and Reception Range
Once the calibration process is complete, the antenna reception range may need to be adjusted to
prevent ID overlaps between stalls.
The AfiPass II Controller allows 17 transmission power levels, -8 to 8 with the default at 0, to increase
or decrease the ID range.
While in Antenna Power Mode, once the desired antenna is selected, the device will transmit
continuously to enable you to set the power level for the desired ID range. The test is done using the
Passive Identification tag. The RX LED and buzzer (if enabled) will indicate proper reception at the
distance of the tag from the antenna.
To change the transmission power:
1. Set the technician's tool to PWR Mode:
a. Turn OFF TS1.
b. Turn ON TS2.
Indication: The displays shows 'PWR T'.
