Setup
The Sonew RFID EM ID Inductive Tags are passive devices and do not require power or configuration themselves. Their setup primarily involves physical placement and integration with a compatible RFID reader system.
- Placement: Identify strategic locations for tag placement within your security guard tour route or attendance checkpoint areas. Ensure tags are securely affixed to a stable surface.
- System Integration: These tags are designed to work with 125 KHz RFID EM ID compatible handheld readers or fixed reader systems. Refer to your RFID reader's manual for instructions on how to register and associate these tags with your system.
- Testing: After placement and system integration, perform a test scan with your RFID reader to confirm that each tag is correctly detected and its unique identification number is registered by the system.
Operation
Operating the Sonew RFID EM ID Inductive Tags involves using a compatible RFID reader to interact with them.
- Scanning: To read a tag, bring a compatible 125 KHz RFID handheld reader within the reading distance (2.5 cm to 10 cm) of the tag. The reader will typically provide an audible or visual confirmation upon successful tag detection.
- Data Recording: The unique identification number of each tag is recorded by the handheld reader. This data, along with timestamps and reader ID, is stored for later processing.
- Data Upload: Periodically, connect your handheld reader to a computer or network as per the reader's instructions to upload the collected tag data.
- Analysis: Utilize your security or attendance management software to process the uploaded data. This allows for monitoring patrol routes, verifying attendance, and analyzing personnel performance.

Maintenance
The Sonew RFID EM ID Inductive Tags require minimal maintenance due to their durable construction.
- Cleaning: If tags become dirty, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the ABS plastic.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect tags for any physical damage or signs of wear. While durable, extreme physical impact can compromise their integrity.
- Environmental Conditions: Although resistant to water, prolonged submersion or exposure to extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range (up to 60°C) should be avoided to ensure optimal performance and data retention.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RFID tags, consider the following:
- Tag Not Reading:
- Ensure your RFID reader is compatible with 125 KHz EM ID tags.
- Verify the reader is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Bring the reader within the specified reading distance (2.5 cm to 10 cm) of the tag.
- Check for any physical obstructions between the reader and the tag.
- Inspect the tag for visible damage.
- Inconsistent Readings:
- Ensure the reader is held steadily and within optimal range during scanning.
- Minimize interference from other electronic devices or large metal objects in the vicinity.
