5. Maintenance

The YANZEO SR681 is built for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Its IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor and challenging environments.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the reader with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Environmental Protection: While IP67 rated, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to extreme temperatures beyond its operating specifications to ensure longevity.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure connections are secure.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SR681 RFID reader, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the reader and a working power outlet.
• Tags Not Reading:
  • Verify tags are within the 6-meter reading range.
  • Check for obstructions between the reader and the tags.
  • Ensure the reader's antenna is oriented correctly towards the tags.
  • Confirm the tags are compatible UHF RFID tags (e.g., ISO18000-6C/EPC GEN2, ISO18000-6B).
• Communication Issues:
  • Check the integrity of USB, RS485, or Wiegand cables.
  • Ensure correct driver installation for USB connections.
  • Verify software settings and communication protocols are correctly configured.
