Power Management
The RS430NFC uses a 7.4VDC – 2800mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack, which serves
as its primary power source. This feature adds hours of scans with a fully charged battery.
Alternately, the reader can be powered and used indoors only by the following methods:
1. From its AC Adapter. Once the external AC adapter is connected, the reader is powered-
up, it will remain on until the AC adapter is disconnected, and the Battery Pack is
charged. The reader can be powered regardless of the charge state of the Battery Pack.
The AC Adapter can be used as a power source
7
even if the Battery Pack has been
removed from the device. If the AC Adapter has been connected, the user may proceed
with configuration and performance testing while the Battery Pack is charging. This
configuration could affect reading performances.
2. From its DC power supply cable with alligator clips

: You can connect your reader to
any DC power supply (between minimum 12V DC and maximum 28V DC) such as a
car, truck, tractor, or battery (see picture below). The reader is connected through the
socket located on the back of the reader data-power cable as shown in step 2 (see chapter
