1. INTRODUCTION
RDR-8018QN-NEO is a four-antenna, long-range (35' to 50') Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) reader with TCP/IP interface and general purpose digital I/O (GP I/O
- four (4) input four (4) outputs) that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags.
This reader comes with a unique combination of long read range, ruggedized casing and
low power consumption. Its primary applications are asset management and tracking,
and fleet management applications.
In order to control the RDR-8018QN-NEO reader you will need the following:



Computer with Network connection
Host software (demo software or your own custom software).
RFID Tags (EPC Class 1 Gen 2, ISO Type B, etc)
1.1. SPECIAL FEATURES

The four general-purpose inputs that use photo diodes are used to accept TTL input
commands. Each input requires 15 mA and 5V to activate. The four outputs are solidstate relays, with 0.03 uA off-state leakage current and the ability to sink 120 mA at a
breakdown voltage of 400V DC. All outputs are protected with reverse clamping diodes,
and ready to drive inductive loads. The floating arrangement eliminates any ground loop
considerations.

See Appendix 6.2 for wiring diagram of a sample application.
2.2. MEASURING READ DISTANCE
Make sure you know the tag types. For instance, EPC tags must be pre-programmed to
be read. For certain readers and tags, user must also be mindful of the tag’s orientation
and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for
and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose
will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energize the tag and its read range.
When measuring the reader’s read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented to
the reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operator’s finger is not
within three (3) inches of the tag’s antenna surface.

3. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
This section provides installation and operation information for RDR-8018QN-NEO readers.
3.1. PARTS LIST
Verify that all items listed below are present before the installation.
Part
QTY
RDR-8018QN-NEO reader
12 VDC wall plug power supply unit
RJ-45 Cable
Documentation and demo SW
3.2. PREPARATION/SETUP
It is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scale
installation. The following are the necessary steps to test reader’s operation in a static
environment1.

3.2.1. Installation Steps
o Connect reader to network with a RJ-45 cable at TCP/IP port
o Power up computer
o Connect the RJ-45 cable between the reader and connector labeled “Out” on the
12 V PS unit, connect from Ethernet Hub/Switch to where “In” is labeled. Plug in
power.
o Check to ensure that all connections are secure. Make sure that all wires through
the cable clamps are anchored properly; avoid dangling wires that may become a
safety hazard.
o Mount the Reader/Antenna using the screw posts to fasten to reader on the
desired mounting surface.
o Load and launch the demo program on installation PC. Try Connect after filling in
the IP address of reader and then some commands once connected.
o Place the RFID tags on the exact same locations as the final configuration
o Measure tag’s read distance and confirm that read distance is correct.

4. Notes on Software Programming and System Operation
4.1. SET UP AND SYSTEM OPERATION
4.1.1. Setting Up RDR-8018QN-NEO
Power up with the 12-V power supply unit, connect to network through the Ethernet port
with RJ-45 cable.
4.1.2. Running a Custom Software Application or the Demo Program
If AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected that user will launch a custom
software application to send commands defined in Neology MPR Communication
Protocol and/or the supporting SDK to the reader.
4.2. USERS NOTE
For System Integrators and/or Software Developers
System Integrators and/or Software developers should get familiar with the Neology MPR
Communication Protocol (Reference I) specifications and/or the supporting SDK for
developing applications that control MPR network readers.
For Custom System Users
For custom system user, please refer to your host software user guide for information
regarding system and software operations
For Demo Software Users
If you are using the AWID RFID demonstration software application which is .NET based
with easy-to-follow GUI operations, simply fill in the IP address of RDR-8018QN-NEO
installed then click “Connect” should get you started.
