4 RFID Introduction RX2 User’s Guide E-EQ-RX2OGWW-A RFID Introduction Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify individual items. The individual items identified/read by a RFID reader contain a tag (also known as an electronic label or transponder). Unlike barcodes that must be read by a beam passing over the barcode, RFID tags do not have to be in the line of sight of the reader before the reader can collect the data from the tag but they do need to be within the established reading range of the RFID-module. See the “RX2 Reference Guide” for further information and configuration. RFID Reader Scan Range Type of Tag Scan Range Class 0 Tag 9.8 feet / 3.0 meters Class 1 Tag 9.8 feet / 3.0 meters Gen2 Tag 9.8 feet / 3.0 meters Figure 3 RFID Tag Reading Ranges Unlike barcode scanners that require line-of-sight before successfully reading a barcode, the RFID reader does not require line-of-sight when searching for and reading tags. The range of the RFID reader is dependent on many outside influences including the tag construction and orientation. RFID Tag Data Collection Generally, when the RX2 is powered on, the RFID reader is ready for use. • While the RX2 is booting, the Power LED is lit solid. The RFID reader is not available until the Power LED beings flashing and all drivers have finished loading. • Please consult your system administrator for application details. Although the reader is ready for use, the application may not yet have enabled the reader. • If the battery charger is connected to the RX2, the RX2 remains Off, even if the power switch is in the On position. The reader supports Class 0 (read only) and Class 1 (read and write) tags as well as Class 1 Gen2 (read and write) tags. The RFID information is relayed to the network via the 802.11 radio in the RX2. Data transmission is application specific. Please refer to your system administrator for details.

Connect Power Source 13 E-EQ-RX2OGWW-A RX2 User’s Guid How To: Connect Vehicle 12VDC Connection 1. The RX2 must be turned off and the power cable must be UNPLUGGED from the RX2. 2. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable to the terminal block or as close as possible to the actual battery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always connect to unswitched terminals in vehicle fuse panel, after providing proper fusing. ATTENTION: For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the ignition switch of the vehicle. 3. Route the power cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate. Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers (SCR’s), avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these devices. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized “crimp” type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm2) conductors.
