BUTTON OPERATION

The 1153 UHF Reader has a Primary button action and a Secondary button action, which can be initiated by

pressing the Primary or Secondary buttons on the top of the 1153 UHF Reader. By default, the Primary button

action scans for UHF transponders, whilst the Secondary button action initiates the laser barcode scanner (requires

2D Imager). The button actions are also programmable for custom applications.

PRIMARY BUTTON ACTION

- UHF Transponder Read

In the default conﬁguration the 1153 UHF Reader scans for UHF transponders as the primary button action. The

1153 UHF Reader will continue to scan for UHF transponders whilst the primary button is pressed. It will stop

scanning once the button is released (and the current operation completes).

SECONDARY BUTTON ACTION

– Barcode Scan (requires 2D Imager)

In the default conﬁguration the 1153 UHF Reader scans for barcodes as the secondary button action. The 1153

UHF Reader will continue to scan for a barcode while the button is pressed. It will stop scanning when any of the

following conditions are met:

● A barcode is scanned.

● The button is released.

● The barcode engine times out.

In the default conﬁguration, the secondary button action (Barcode scanning) can also be initiated by a rapid

double-click-and-hold on the primary button.
