RFID Reader Model IDR-3000 About this Guide This installation and service guide explains how to install the Model IDR-3000 RFID Reader and use the browser-based interface. Installation and Service Guide Use the instructions provided with the antennas to install and service the antennas. If you need assistance... Call the RFID support line at 1-800-543-9740. The Model IDR-3000 RFID Reader uses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to read data stored on RFID tags and labels. The RFID Reader operates as an SQL (structured query language) server, providing tag data in response to requests from another application. A separate software application may be used to direct its operation and provide a user interface. Before You Begin • The RFID reader is shipped with a certified limited power source with a cable length of 1.8m (6ft). The RFID Reader supports UHF (ultra high frequency) and HF (high frequency) antennas which are available separately. The reader provides two UHF and two HF antenna ports and transfers data to a computer through an Ethernet port. • Use only authorized antennas and cables to maintain FCC approval (see Authorized Antennas on page 2). • In order to comply with FCC requirements for RF exposure safety, a separation distance of at least 22cm (8.7in.) needs to be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and the bodies of nearby persons. • Antennas must be mounted within 3.6m (12ft) cable distance of the reader. • Provide strain relief for all reader connections. • A shielded Ethernet cable must be used to communicate with other devices. • Multiple readers and antennas can be used in combination to enhance detection at specific locations provided the software application is able to synchronize antenna operation.

Tags applied to items made from or containing these materials may not perform as expected. • Tag orientation — Reader performance is affected by the orientation of the tag in the antenna field. • Tag model — many tag models are available. Each model has its own performance characteristics. Environment IDANTM1000-915L is a linear polarized antenna that reads data from 915MHz tags. It has a read range of up to 3.6m (12ft) from the antenna. Coverage area of up to 7.3m (24ft) may be achieved by using two antennas, one on each side of the opening. RFID Reader performance may be affected by the following: The antenna is shipped with 3.6m (12ft) of cable and an appropriate connector for the RFID reader. • Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, book shelves, and waste baskets may enhance or degrade reader performance. A mounting bracket suitable for attaching the antenna to a standard 1/4 inch–20 thread stud is included. Mount antennas as far as possible from metal surfaces that are adversely affecting system performance. IDANTM1000-915C • Devices that operate at 900MHz such as cordless phones or wireless LANs can interfere with reader performance. These devices may degrade performance of the reader. The reader may also adversely affect performance of the 900MHz device. • IDANTM1000-915C is a circular polarized antenna that reads data from 915MHz tags. It has a read range of up to 1.8m (6ft) from the antenna. Coverage area of up to 3.6m (12ft) may be achieved by using two antennas, one on each side of the opening. Antennas operating in close proximity may interfere with one another, degrading reader performance. Interference from other antennas may be eliminated or reduced by using either one or both of the following strategies: − Affected antennas may be synchronized by a separate user application using a timemultiplexing strategy. − Antenna power can be reduced by reconfiguring the RF Transmit Power setting for the reader. The antenna is shipped with 3.6m (12ft) of cable and an appropriate connector for the RFID reader.
