1.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing EMPRESS™ Reader, it is wireless and therefore is easy to
install with low installation costs. It is a 2.4GHz Gain Adjustable Reader which uses the
advanced 0.18um CMOS IC, and is well-fitted for being a Data Collector.
Through IEEE 802.11b/g (EMWF version), the reader gathers and transmits data to the
wireless router or act as access point all by itself. Once powered, the HKRAR-EM series
is instantly connected and become part of the network.
HKRAR-EMWF Active reader is user friendly with a web interface. You can get data and
do analysis with a PC in an efficient way with its Wi-Fi feature. Its Omni-directional
antenna can identify tags from all directions. Users can adjust the identification distance
according to actual situations in order to make identification more accurate.
