3. To power off the Reader, unplug the power supply from the power outlet. The Power/Activity LED
on the Reader should turn off, indicating that the Reader is powered off and the system is not
operational.
Verify the Reader Installation
Reader On?
After you have installed the Reader as described in this User’s Manual, test that the Reader is on by
following the instructions provided above in the “Power on (and Off) the Reader” section.
To verify that the Reader is operational, power it on by plugging the power supply (attached to the
Reader) into the appropriate power outlet. The Power/Activity LED on the Reader should light red,
indicating that the Reader is powered on and the system is operational.
Test Read Range
After you have installed the Reader as described in this User’s Manual, test the read distance of your
hardware configuration to verify that it meets your needs.
1. To measure the read distance between the Reader and a tag, hold a tag in front of you (with the tag
face parallel to the Reader face.)
2. Walk slowly toward the Reader until the Reader responds with a flash of the Power/Activity LED.
This indicates that the Reader has detected and read the tag.
NOTE: For purposes of this test, we recommend that you do not hold the
tag at an angle, or wave the tag in front of the Reader, as that may cause
the measured read distance to vary.
3. In order to read the same tag again, first remove the tag completely from the Reader’s read field, and
then perform Step 2 again.
