RFID Introduction
For ENG/CERT Review - Not for Distribution or Publication - Draft 04
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 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.
transmission is application specific. Please refer to your system administrator for details.

Figure 7 Connect Power Source or Battery Charger
Internal Battery Pack (Optional)
The RX2 is available with an optional internal battery pack.
Use the battery charger to charge the RX2’s internal battery. The RX2 battery charger charges the
RX2 battery pack in less than 6 hours. It is recommended the internal battery pack be fully
charged before installing the RX2.
The battery charger uses an adapter cable. One end of the cable has a “break away” quick
disconnect connection to reduce the chance of damage if the forklift is moved before the battery
charger is disconnected. The other end of the cable attaches to the RX2.
Once fully charged, the internal RX2 battery pack powers the RX2 for nine hours under normal
conditions including an RFID reader scan every two seconds.
The RX2 provides a low battery warning as follows:
•
The power LED flashes red (or is solid red while the RX2 is booting)
•
The low battery buzzer sounds
•
A low battery signal can be sent via the radio card to the network host (please refer
to your system administrator for details).
When the low battery warning is displayed, there is approximately 30 minutes of power left in the
battery. If the battery is not recharged before it is depleted, the RX2 automatically shuts down.
The RFID reader remains functional until the battery can no longer power the RX2.

The RX2 battery charger accepts AC power input.
Figure 18 RX2 Battery Charger
The charger can be used to internal RX2 battery pack in less than six hours. The battery changer
can operate in environments from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
The charger has a red LED that indicates the status of the charger:
•
Rapid flashing – The charger is in deep discharge mode.
•
Solid – The charger is in Rapid Charge mode.
•
Slowly flashing – The battery is charged and ready for use. The charger provides a
trickle charge to keep the battery at full charge.
Before using the Charger, please follow the instructions in “Prepare Charger Connection”, earlier
in this section, to mount the cables necessary for the Charger connection.

Operation
Turning the RX2 On
RX2’s with an optional internal battery have a Power Switch to turn the unit On or Off.
RX2’s without the internal battery have no power switch. These units are On whenever DC power
is applied.
Note:
The DC to DC Power Supply contains an On/Off switch. When this switch is set to Off,
power is not supplied to the RX2.
The Power Switch
The power switch is a toggle switch located on the connector panel side of the RX2.
Figure 19 Power Switch
When the switch is set to On:
•
The CPU is on and the RX2 functions normally if power is present and the battery
charger is not attached.
•
The CPU remains Off if the battery charger is attached, even if the power switch is
flipped to On. This allows the optional internal battery to charge.
•
If the RX2 is On, the RX2 automatically powers down when the battery charger is
attached. This allows the optional internal battery to charge. If the charger is
disconnected and the switch remains in the On position, the RX2 boots up.
When the switch is set to Off:
•
If the battery charger is connected, the battery recharges.
•
If DC power is connected, the battery DOES NOT charge.
•
If neither the battery charger nor DC power is connected, the RX2 is Off.
When the power switch is flipped to On and a power source is present:
E-EQ-RX2OGWW-B
•
The LED lights solid green (or solid red if battery power is low) while booting
•
When the RX2 has finished booting, the LED flashes green (or red if battery power
is low). The RX2 is ready for use after a slight delay while drivers and applications
load. Consult your system administrator for more information.
•
If the battery charger is connected, the RX2 remains Off, even if the power switch is
flipped to On.

The Power LED
The Power LED
For ENG/CERT Review - Not for Distribution or Publication - Draft 04
The RX2 has a power status LED on the front of the antenna enclosure.
Figure 20 Power LED
The LED indicates the status of the RX2:
Off
Indicates the RX2 is switched off or no power is applied to the RX2.
The LED is off when the battery charger is attached to the RX2.
Solid Green
Indicates the RX2 is booting and battery power is good (or DC power
is attached).
Solid Red
Indicates the RX2 is booting and battery power is low.
Flashing Green
Indicates the RX2 has finished booting and is ready for use. Battery
power is good (or DC power is attached).
Flashing Red
Indicates the RX2 has finished booting and is ready for use. Battery
power is low.
When the power LED switches from green to red, this indicates approximately 30 minutes of
battery power remains in the battery.
Before the 30 minutes expire, action should be taken:
•
The RX2 battery charger can be used to charger the internal battery. The RX2
cannot be used while the battery is charging.
•
DC power can be attached to the RX2.
Additional Low Power Warning
In addition to the LED turning red, other indications of a low battery may be present depending
on your configuration:
RX2 User’s Guide
•
A low battery buzzer may sound.
•
The network host may be configured to monitor for RX2 units with a low battery.
Please consult your system administrator for details.

Tag Orientation and the RX2
The RX2 contains an RHCP (right hand circularly polarized) antenna.
For ENG/CERT Review - Not for Distribution or Publication - Draft 04
Tags orientation by rotation on the “Z” axis does not decrease the range of the RX2’s RFID
reader.
Figure 21 Tag Rotation, Example 1
However, changing tag orientation by rotating on the “X” axis or “Y” axis can reduce the range of
the RX2’s RFID reader.
Figure 22 Tag Rotation, Example 2
If you have any questions about tag orientation and its effect on the RX2’s range in your
warehouse, please consult your system administrator.
