CHAPTER 2 Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650P and Handheld Device Description12SMR-650P Reader CommunicationThe SMR-650P Reader has both ultra high frequency (UHF) and low frequency (LF) transmitters that communicate with all Savi RFID tags via the integrated antenna. Savi SmartChain Mobile Manager is Savi-provided software with the SMR-650P-211 Reader that you must install on your Symbol 8100 or 8146 handheld. It displays information for tags that have been interrogated, collected, or scanned. Tags are interrogated when the SMR-650P Reader is in UHF mode, collected when the SMR-650P Reader is in UHF or LF mode, and scanned when SMR-650P Reader is in LF mode.Through the Symbol handheld, SmartChain Mobile Manager interfaces the SMR-650P-211 Reader with the wireless and wired LAN so you can download and upload information to and from the database.UHF Mode OperationThe UHF transmitter sends commands and write information to Savi RFID tags. In UHF mode the mobile reader supports single and continuous collection modes.When the mobile reader is in single UHF mode, you can only perform one tag collection within a fixed radius. When the mobile reader is in continuous UHF mode, you can perform multiple tag collections while moving through a facility.The amber status LED shows when the SMR-650P Reader is receiving a UHF signal. When the amber LED flashes, it indicates that the mobile reader received a valid data packet. The amber LED continues to flash until all data is received. The amber LED is not functional during UHF transmit or LF transmit.
SMR-650P Reader CommunicationSavi Mobile Reader SMR-650P Quick Reference Guide 13LF Mode OperationLF mode is controlled by the SmartChain Mobile Manager application running on the handheld device. LF mode is compatible only with SaviTags. To use LF mode, you must turn it on in SmartChain Mobile Manager. You use LF mode to:◆Disable the UHF mode of SaviTag ST-654 tags to prevent unwanted interrogations◆Perform short-range tag collections up to 4 feet◆Locate tags◆Change SaviTags communication parameters
CHAPTER 2 Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650P and Handheld Device Description14Optimizing the SMR-650P Reader Tag Collection RangeTo optimize the SMR-650P Reader tag collection range, hold the device as shown in Figure 2-3.◆Parallel to the your body.◆Vertically at eye levelFigure 2-3 Hold the mobile reader at eye level and parallel to your body for optimal tag collection
Optimizing the SMR-650P Reader Tag Collection RangeSavi Mobile Reader SMR-650P Quick Reference Guide 15As shown in Figure 2-4, if you face north or south, the radiation pattern of the antenna is strongest to the left and right with a 200-foot maximum tag collection range in either direction. During the first tag collection, most tags within an omni directional pattern of 100 feet will be collected.Figure 2-4 Tag collection facing north or south
CHAPTER 2 Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650P and Handheld Device Description16After waiting for a few seconds, turn to the right or left (facing east or west) and perform another collection to determine if additional tags can be collected.Figure 2-5 Tag collection facing east or westFactors that can limit the SMR-650P Reader collection range include:◆Obstructions such as multiple walls, chained areas, solid-core doors, and enclosures◆RF interference from other equipment such as computers, cellular phones, walkie-talkies, elevators, electrical motors, or other RF-emitting devices◆Reflection from the ground and from nearby objects◆Positioning and orientation of the SMR-650P Reader◆Metal or RF-absorbent surface on the tracked item◆Tag location relative to the SMR-650P Reader, such as behind a metal obstruction or stacked under multiple layersRadio interference also affects the probability of collecting any given tag, and you can expect some variance in repeatability in the field.
Operating the SMR-650P Reader with the Symbol Handheld DeviceSavi Mobile Reader SMR-650P Quick Reference Guide 17Operating the SMR-650P Reader with the Symbol Handheld DeviceThe SMR-650P-211 Reader is compatible with Symbol 8100 and 8146 handheld devices, which are Windows Pocket PC devices with options for 37- or 47-character alphanumeric keyboards. Symbol 8100 and 8146 handhelds feature a backlight for the keypad.The following Symbol 8100 and 8146 models are compatible with the SMR-650P-211 Reader:◆PDT-8100-B2A94000◆PDT-8100-J4BA3000◆PDT-8146-B2A930US◆PDT-8146-B2A940US◆PDT-8146-J4BA40WWNote: This guide provides general information for operating a Symbol 8100 or 8146 keypad.

CHAPTER 4Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650P Quick Reference Guide 29Printing Labels4Using SmartChain Mobile Manager, you can print using an infrared interface (IrDA) or the serial interface cable (Zebra Pt# 52712). The infrared interface is recommended for printing labels on the Zebra PT47X printer.Before you attempt to print using the Savi Mobile Reader SMR-650P, verify that the Zebra printer is in proper working order by printing a test label. See the Zebra PT47X users guide for instructions.Printing with the Infrared Interface (IrDA)Verify that the Zebra printer is equipped with the IrDA option by checking that the configuration number on the back of the printer is PT471-850-10000 or PT473-850-10000.Figure 4-1 Check the printer configuration number
CHAPTER 4 Printing Labels30Note: A Symbol handheld 81XX with a Strong Arm based microprocessor or equipped with a black and white display cannot print using the IrDA interface. Check the Symbol Product Reference Guide to verify the microprocessor type. If your handheld has this configuration, you must use the serial cable for printing. See “Printing with the Serial Interface Cable” on page 34.According to Zebra, to properly send data when printing using the IrDA interface, the distance between the communicating units must have clear line-of-sight and not exceed 39 inches. Savi recommends maintaining a 3-inch to 6-inch clear line-of-site distance between IrDA device lenses to maximize printing success.To print via the IrDA:1. Start SmartChain Mobile Manager.
