Option
Description
Output format
GTIN14/EPCID/GTIN14+EPCID (default GTIN14)
Output mode
There are two available output modes:
●
25 tags max mode (default): The reader holds a 25-tag
EPC-ID buffer used to compare currently detected EPC-IDs
to the previous record. Tags are continuously detected but
returned only once, even if multiple tags are inside the RFID
reader area. In this mode, the reader can read only 25 tags
simultaneously.
●
Alternative mode: The reader continuously returns an EPC-ID
if the current EPC-ID is different from the previous EPC-ID.
That is, if two tags are inside the RFID reader area, the RFID
reader continuously returns both tags in alternating order.
Output power
5–25 dBm (default 7 dBm).
Tag read period
500–1500 ms (default 200 ms).
NOTE: If you set a longer read period, the RFID reader goes
through all the tags inside the detection range during one read
cycle but with higher power consumption and temperature.
Time-out
0–200 s (default 2 s)
NOTE: This setting is available only for the 25 tags max mode.
The RFID reader clears the corresponding buffer if it cannot detect
the tag during the elapsed time-out period.
