CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Bench Test Procedure

1. Access an operational mode suitable for bench testing.

• Select a mode that will allow multiple consecutive reads of a single

tag.

• Refer to the applicable software application user guide for specific

instructions.

2. Position the reader to you can see the LEDs.

• You may also want to position the PC so you can view the monitor

simultaneously for later tests.

3. Move a tag slowly into the antenna’s range.

• Begin with the tag well outside the expected range (~15-20 ft) and

move it toward the antenna while observing the LEDs.

4. Verify the Sniff LED illuminates when the tag approaches the read

window.

• Sniff is the yellow LED.

5. Verify the Lock LED illuminates when the tag is inside the read

window.

• Lock is the green LED.

6. Verify the host receives the tag data.

• Refer to indications specified in applicable user guide to verify the

tag was read successfully.

7. If bench test conditions are verified, proceed to installation.

NOTE: If all conditions appear to be operational but system fails to read tags,

disconnect system power and reapply power to perform a hard reset.
