Understanding RFID Reader

1.1 POWER

RFID Reader is powered by a rechargeable 3.7V/2500mAh Li-ion battery pack, and it takes

approximately 4 hours to fully charge it via charger or adapter. However, the charging time

may vary by working condition. During normal operation, the RFID Reader can work for up

to 10 hours.

Warning: The battery cover must be in position. If not, the RFID Reader cannot turn on.

For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before you begin to use it.

Always prepare a spare batter, especially when you are working on a

non-stop operation.

1.1.1 POWER ON

After installing the battery, press the <Trigger> for 2 seconds. The RFID Reader will

respond with a long beep (high tone), and LED1 will become solid red for 1 second and go

off.

1.1.2 POWER OFF

The RFID Reader will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from

full CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off). You

can power off the RFID Reader by pressing both <F1>+<F2> keys or issuing command on

the host computer described below.

Auto Power Off (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to automatically shut down

after idling 10 minutes. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0.

Command:

#@sys_off\r

Purpose System Shutdown

Response OK\r

ERR,[code]\r

#@sys_tpoff?\r

Purpose Get the Delay Time of System Shutdown

Response OK,[m]\r (Default m= ‘10’)

[m]: ‘0’ ~ ‘254’ (Unit=minute)

ERR,[code]\r

#@sys_tpoff=[m]\r

Purpose Set the Delay Time of System Shutdown

Response OK\r

ERR,[code]\r

If you want to keep system always alive, you can issue “#@sys_kalive” command. If the

delay time for system shutdown and power saving mode are not zero, this command will

prevent the RFID Reader from entering the power saving mode or shutting down itself.
