Operation
3-1. Scope
This Chapter provides the information needed to prepare a new FP310RAM-X for operation in your
system, using the FP310RAM-X host utility provided by Telematics Wireless.
3-2. Power-Up
Before performing the other activities described in this Chapter, power up the FP-310RA and connect it to
the PC running the host utility.
Warning
Do not apply power to the FP310RAM-X before explicit authorization is
received from the person in charge. The FP310RAM-X may start
transmitting as soon as power is applied, resulting in possible exposure of
personnel working near the antennas to microwave radiation.
The FP310RAM-X must not be allowed to transmit without being connected
to antenna, or to a suitable (50) load.
 To apply power to the FP310RAM-X:
1. Check that power may be applied to the FP310RAM-X.
2. Apply power and monitor the FP310RAM-X IND indicator: it should start flashing
in green.
Notes
 Orange flashing indicates that transponders have been detected within the
communication zone of the FP310RAM-X. This is possible only when the
FP310RAM-X is connected to antennas.
 Red flashing indicates that transmission has been disabled (muted) or the
reader in test mode. This is a normal indication. However, steady red means
that a malfunction has been detected: press the RESET push-button of the
FP310RAM-X and check that the problem disappears after the FP310RAM-
X restarts. If the indicator lights steadily in red, service is required.
