6. Operating Instructions

The Aoeeki RFID-AT system operates by detecting specific RFID tags attached to merchandise. The system requires RFID tags and an RFID decoder (sold separately) for full functionality.

6.1. Attaching RFID Tags

Attach RFID security tags to your merchandise. These tags are designed to trigger an alarm if they pass through the detection zone without being decoded.

Figure 4: Example of an RFID tag for merchandise.

6.2. Alarm Triggering

When an undecoded RFID tag passes through the detection area of the ceiling antenna, the device will emit a loud buzzer alarm and its LED indicators will illuminate red. This signifies an unauthorized movement of tagged merchandise.

6.3. Decoding RFID Tags

For legitimate purchases, RFID tags must be decoded. Place the tagged item on an RFID decoder (e.g., a desktop decoder) to deactivate the alarm function of the tag. Once decoded, the tag will no longer trigger the alarm when passing through the detection zone.

6.4. LED Indicator States

The device features LED indicators that provide visual feedback on its status:

• Blue Light: No label sensed (normal standby).
• Red Light: Sensing an unauthorized label (alarm triggered).
• Green Light: Sensing an authorized label (decoded tag passing through).

6.5. Mobile App Integration (Optional)

The system supports integration with a mobile application for remote monitoring. In case of an alarm, the app can send timely reminders and allow playback of live video feeds (if integrated with a camera system).

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables (power, network) for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1. Device Not Powering On

• Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the device and a working power outlet.
• Verify the power outlet is functional.

8.2. No Alarm Triggered

• Confirm that RFID tags are properly attached to the merchandise.
• Ensure the device is powered on and its blue LED indicator is active (standby mode).
• Check the placement of the device to ensure the detection zone covers the intended area.
• Verify the RFID tags are compatible with the 860~960MHz frequency range.

8.3. False Alarms

• Ensure all merchandise passing through the detection zone has been properly decoded.
• Check for any external interference that might affect RFID detection.

9. Safety Information

• Install the device in a location where it is not easily accessible to prevent tampering.
• Ensure proper electrical connections to avoid hazards.
• Do not expose the device to water or extreme temperatures.
• Only use the provided power adapter or a compatible replacement.
