Starting the Reader
After the reader is started, if a transponder is inside the reading filed in between the antennas, the reader will read it and the yellow light will flash with a slight beeping sound when reading the transponder.
To turn off the reader, unplug the power cable from mains power.
Tuning the Antennas
All antennas will be tuned to its maximum performance during installation. After installation, the antennas normally do not require re-tuning unless the installation environment experienced major changes. We recommend that the antennas are tested for reading performance after installation and if the performance is up to the standard then re-tuning of the antennas is not necessary.
