Equipment installation and inspection

Installation Precautions

• In order to ensure your personal and property safety, the following preparations must be made before installing and using the product.
• Measure and estimate the connection distance between equipment and system (such as equipment and antenna, equipment and PC, equipment and power socket, etc.);
• Check whether the installation position and direction of the equipment and antenna will disturb the signal when the information is exchanged between the product and the electronic label;
• When installing multiple devices or identifying dense areas, pay attention to the antenna placement of multiple devices and the minimum distance between the antennas to avoid mutual interference.

Installation Conditions

• Before installing the equipment, please carefully check whether the product is in good condition, whether the accessories are complete, and meet the required standards for installation, and can be installed in the use environment.

Select the installation location

• Consider the minimum safe distance between the antenna and the human body.

Connection of various devices

• Connect the reader, antenna, and PC.
• The auxiliary parts shall be connected according to the specified equipment.
• When installing the connected antenna, pay special attention to the polarization matching between the antenna and the electronic tag, otherwise, it will seriously affect the reading/writing distance of the reader to the electronic tag.

Installation of equipment

• According to the field application, the reading and writing range of the reader and the connecting antenna is preliminarily determined. According to the on-site reading and writing test results of the FU-M6IN1 reader, adjust the tilt (rotation) angle of the reader antenna to make the reading distance reach the best state. Finally, the installation position and tilt (turn) angle of the equipment are fixed.

Installation FAQ

• This section describes in detail common problems during commissioning, in particular general problems due to incorrect installation, and explains how to correct them.
  The main common problems of debugging are as follows:

No response from reader

• The power indicator light is on. → Check the relevant cable connection and check the corresponding items according to the status of the relevant indicator light;
• In the communication state of the network port → check whether the connected IP is correct; Check whether there is any conflict between IP addresses; check Whether the IP address and the upper computer are in the same network segment;
• Whether the antenna number is set correctly.

Read/write label error
Check whether the reader protocol is compatible with the label protocol;
Check whether the configuration of the reader is correct;

• Label placement, whether the label is in the effective reading and writing range of the reader
• Whether there is electromagnetic interference between readers or other equipment;
• Whether the access password is required for label reading/writing and whether the password is correct;
• Whether the label is damaged.

Read and write scope does not meet the requirements
Check the antenna installation and placement direction;
Check whether the polarization mode of the antenna and the label are consistent;

• Whether the antenna selection supports the requirements of reading and writing range;
• Whether there are interferences in the surrounding environment.

Product handling and use

• Demo software mainly carries out demonstration functions such as system control, parameter setting, parameter query, communication mode selection, reading and writing and display of RF tags.
• If you need secondary development, please contact Quan Shunhong to obtain development kits and technical support.

• Go to the IP configuration page
• Modify the new IP address, click Save Settings, and restart the module to complete the modification

Daily Maintenance and Repair

Routine maintenance

• Store according to storage requirements.

Analysis and solution of common faults

• This paper mainly introduces the handling methods when the user encounters the abnormal phenomenon of the equipment in use.
• The power indicator does not light up after power-on
• Power supply system failure: check whether the power supply is normal;
• If other indicator lights are on, it may be an internal circuit failure. Please contact our company to discuss maintenance matters.
• The network port cannot be connected
• The default IP address set by the reader-writer when leaving the factory is 192.168.0.80.
• When connecting, ensure that the IP address of the upper computer and the IP address of the reader-writer are on the same network segment, such as “192.168.0.XXX,” can be reliably connected with the reader-writer. If you forget the IP address of the reader, please consult our company for the method of resetting the IP.
• Cannot read card
• Whether the cable is connected correctly, the cable is not connected, or the connection is not firm will lead to the PC command not being issued to the reader;
• Please check whether the antenna connector is tightened and the label is damaged.
• Make sure the reader is properly configured.
• For problems that users cannot solve by themselves, please contact our company to discuss maintenance matters
