C RDR-8018QN-NEO HAPT ER 1 Page 4 3/1/2017 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 Multi-Protocol: ISO-18000-6 Type B/C, EPC Class 1 Gen 2 Four (4) ports for wide range antennas allowing selection for different applications Splash proof design for indoor or outdoor applications Ruggedized housing RDR-8018QN-NEO Page 5 3/1/2017 2.

Ethernet connector (RJ45) Pin # Function description Pin # Function description TX+ TXRX+ Spare+ Spare+ RXSpareSpare- 2.1.2. General Purpose Input/Output Pin # Function description Pin # Function description Input 1 Output Common Input 2 Output 4 Input 3 Output 3 Input 4 Output 2 Input Common 10 Output 1 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. RDR-8018QN-NEO Page 6 3/1/2017 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.

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. Figure 1 RDR-8018QN-NEO Setup in LAN Warning: some fluorescent lighting may cause interference thereby degrading reader performance. RDR-8018QN-NEO Page 8 3/1/2017 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.

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. 5.
