1 INTRODUCTION
Product Description
©
The Slate (Model R1260U), the new desktop reader of the easy2read Family, is an UHF multiregional RFID reader with
integrated antenna for short to medium range applications.
The Slate Reader is powered and controlled directly by an USB cable, thus allowing to read EPC Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID
tags in an easy desktop environment.
Thanks to its low profile (15 mm) and its size (approximately an A4 page), the Slate reader is the perfect choice for
various applications such as point-of-sales, document tracking, RFID programming stations, access control and so on. It
can be used as a building block for smart shelves and smart displays.

INTRODUCTION - Slate Technical Information Manual
Horizontal Installation:
The Slate can be easily placed on a table for desktop applications affixing the 4 rubber feet to the bottom of the Slate
R1260U to prevent it from sliding.
Vertical Installation:
The Slate can be hanged on the wall (see Fig. 1.3: Slate R1260U Wall mounting).
First of all, use the two small screws (ø 3 mm) to fix the 2 hooks on the Slate.
Then, to hang the Slate on the wall, fix the hooks to the wall using the 2 rawlplugs (ø 4 mm) + screws at a distance of
146 mm each other.
If you want to hang the Slate on a wood panelling, fix the hooks to the wall just using the 2 screws.

2 SLATE GETTING STARTED
Introduction
This quickstart guide will help you to get started with your Slate R1260U reader.
For more detailed information on reader configuration, connections and setup options please refer to the next
chapters.
To begin, you need first to download and install the .NET framework 2.0 (only required if .NET is not already installed
on your PC).
Serial Port Emulator
The SLATE R1260U can be connected to a PC via USB connection. The RFID reader emulates a serial port. In the next
paragraph the procedure to install the required driver is presented.
Driver installation
The Slate reader is based on a FTDI chip. To connect it to the PC you need to install the VCP (Virtual Com Port) drivers
for your operating system. You can download VCP drivers for Windows based systems from the CAEN RFID Web Site at
Slate R1260I page or from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm for different operating systems (or for the most
updated version).
The procedure to install the USB driver is presented below:
1.
Verify that the USB cable is correctly plugged into the PC.
2.
If the USB to Serial driver is not installed on the PC the following pop-up window is displayed.
