When the read is finished, the front LED turns off and a final beep is heard, indicating that the operation is complete. The RFID Antenna (in the RFID unit) should be positioned to face the tag location. Figure 1. Aim ing the Fa lc[...]

RFID Electrical Considerations Addendum 5 RFID Electrical Considerations Operating time U nder normal operating conditions, the RF ID batter y will last l onger than the F alcon batter y . Extended continuous oper ation may result in the RFID batter y discharging before the F alcon battery . When using “ p aint” mode, the battery will last appr[...]

Configuration Settings Addendum 11 • New T ag Timeout: The amount of time to wait between tags before painting will automatically stop. This is the maximum amount of time spent waiting for new tags after a tag has been read. If set to Infinite , then painting will stop only when the trigger is released, a T otal Read Timeout occurs, or the minimu[...]

About RFID Tags 14 Falcon ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer About RFID Tags RFID Antenna When attempting to utilize the RFID re ad functionality of the F alcon 5500 RFID unit it is important to note that the antenna is linearly polarized. This feature requires the tags to be similarl y aligned in a planar field to optimize read range and efficien[...]

About RFID Tags Addendum 15 Tag Orientation Factors Affecting Performance • W ater or water-based products will inhibit (absorb) the signal. • M etal surfaces near the tags may affect performance. • Misuse of tags (i.e. bending the tag antenna) could cause the tags to become dysfunctional. • Any emitted radiation in the 902Mhz to 928Mhz ran[...]
