1.6 Attention
1. Use standard power adapter of 12V/ 3A;
2. Non authorized person shall not change equipment, decompose and assembly, otherwise, it will cancel the
warranty period;
3. Don’t put the equipment storage or installed in direct sunlight, high humidity, dew and other heat source place;
4. The cable’s length between ant and UHF reader should not exceed 10 meters. When the length is longer than
two meters, you’d better use RF cable of low loss, or affecting the reading distance;
5. Electronic tag’s read-write distance is related to the gain of the antenna size, the angle between the tag and the
antenna size, the labels on items related to such factors as the medium and the surrounding environment. So in practical
application , please according to the site conditions to select the best match.

2 The Demo of use
System frame for UHF reader
:
::
:
A whole RFID system consists of UHF reader, antenna and tag. The host sends reading and writing command to
UHF reader through RJ45 interface. After receiving command, UHF reader sends a specific frequency electromagnetic
wave to space by the antenna. When the tag goes into the magnetic field, the energy obtained from tag’s internal
antenna will drive the tag circuit, whose internal information is sent. The UHF reader will accept and send the
information to the host. The system frame’s sketch map is shown in figure 2.0:
