3. Normal Operations
3.1 How To Read an ID Tag
To read an ID tag with the AVID Power TracKer Reader. position the reader
directly on the subiect with the READ Switch depressed and search tor the ID
tag with slow circular motions shown in Scan Pattern t and 2, Scan slowly,
keep the reader touching the subiect during the entire procedure. Move the
reader in small circular motions (approximately Zvinch circles) as you lollow the
scan patterns. When the reader locates an ID tag, it will display the number on
the LCD, sound the beeper and llash the green LED.
Scan Pattern 1 Scan Pattern 2
Figure 5. Scanning Technlque
The orientation oi the reader antenna to the ID tag allects the range and ability
to read. For the best reading periormance a circular motion is recommended.
12 Interlerenoe From RF Sources And Metal Objects
The AVID Power TracKer Reader senses variations in electromagnetic fields in
order to read ID signals irorn the ID tags. Computer terminals, video screens
and metal can reduce the read range at the reader.
It you are experiencing a decrease in reading distance. the reader is probabty
being alleded by electromagnetic interference. Try moving locations
4. Use With Computers
Attach the reader to your PC using the AVID PC Inlerlace / AC Power Adapter
Cable (AVID4011. Figure 4), or the supplied 08-9 to DB~9 Cable.
