1. Introduction
The AVID Power Tracker VI Multi Mode Reader is a hand-held identity tag read-
er. It can be used with AVID, FECAVA, TROVAN and ISO FDXB coded radio
frequency identification tags.
2. Functlonal Descrlpllon
Flgure I. Nwer TrecKer VI
2.1. Power Swltch
The POWER Switch is located on the top right slde ol the reader and turns the

"remlnder' beep every 3 minutes when powered on and not in use.
2.2 READ switch
The READ Switch is located on the top left side oi the reader and is used to
scan Ier an ID tag. Press and hold down the READ Switch to seek an ID tag.
The LCD will display LOOKING. When the reader locales and reads an ID tag. it
will display the ID tag number and sound two high-pitched beeps. The LED will
flash continuously lor up to 5 seconds, or until you release the READ Switch.
When you release the READ Switch the LCD will continue to display the lound
ID tag number, It the reader has not located an ID tag, it will sound a low-pitched
single beep. and the LCD will display NO ID FOUND,
As soon as an ID tag number is found and displayed on the LCD, the reader
stops looking lor another ID tag, The READ Switch must be pressed each time a
new ID tag is to be read,
2.3 LCD Display
The LCD is located on the top center ol the reader. It displays reader lunctlons
and ID tag numbers.
The LCD displays the lollowing messages:
"AVID ID READY“ Displays when reader is first turned ON and
battery is OK.
“LOOKING" Displays when seeking an ID tag,
"NO ID FOUND” Displays after termination oi LOOKING
when no valid ID tag is read.
‘LOW BATTERY" Displays when low battery is sensed, either
when the unit is switched ON or instead cl
LOOKING when the READ Switch is
depressed.
“AVID'123‘456‘789" Sample display tor a valid AVID ID tag.
2.4 BATTERY Compartment

clockwise.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS INSERTED IN THE PROPER
DIRECTION. gigure 2, INCORRECT POSITION CAN DESTROY THE
BATTERY AN EAD R. USE ONLY AVID APPROVED NICAD RECHAFIGE—
ABLE BATTERY. DISPOSE OF BATTERY WITH EXTREME CARE AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF
DISPOSED OF IN FIRE OR WATER.
2.5 BATTERY Charger
The Power TracKer comes equipped with an AVID Nicad battery charger. The

RS-Zs2 serial Cable Pin Assignment
The connector is a standard 03-9 and
provides Ior an external power connec-
tion as well as a PC connection to the
reader. it can only be used with an AVID EMADAPT 1119.51?

MBMNQ; USE ONLY THE AVID INTERFACE CABLE WITH THE POWER
TRACKER USE ONLY THE AVID AC POWER ADAPTER (AVID4004). THE
USE OF ANY OTHER CABLE OR AC POWER ADAPTER COULD CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE READER,
2.7 READ Antenna
The READ Antenna is located on the bottom of the reader and is the interiace
between the reader and the ID tag. The HEAD Antenna emits a low frequency
electromagnetic signal to activate the ID tag.
3. Normal Operatlena
3.1 How To Read an ID Tag
To read an ID tag with the AVlD Power TraoKer Header, position the reader
directly on the subied with the READ Switch depressed and search Ior the ID
tag with slow circular motions shown in Scan Pattern 1 and 2. Scan slowly.
keep the reader touching the subject during the entire procedure. Move the
reader in small circular motions (approximately 2-inch 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 flash the green LED.
Scan Pattern 1 Scan Pattern 2
Figure 5. Scannlng Technlque
The orientation oi the reader antenna to the ID tag ellects the range and ability
to read. For the best reading periormance a circular motion is recommended.
32 Interlerence From HF Sources And Metal Objects
The AVID Power TracKer Reader senses variations in electromagnetic Iields in
order to read ID signals lrom the ID tags. Computer terminals. video screens
and metal can reduce the read range ol the reader.
It you are experiencing a decrease in reading distance, the reader is probably
being aliected by electromagnetic interference. Try moving locations,
4. Use WIth Computers
Attach the reader to your PC using the AVID PC Interlace / AC Power Adapter
Cable (AVID4011, Figure 4), or the supplied DB-9 to 08-9 Cable.
Open the PC's serial port using the tollowing PC interface parameters:
Baud rate 9800
Parity None
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Handshake None
All characters displayed on the LCD are also sent out at the reader's serial port
through th HS<232 cable to a PC or Printer, All text strings are sent out by the
reader as ASCII text followed by CR/LF.
