As shown below： 1.3.6 Access the label may return an error message In the process of access to the label operation, if the operation is not correct, there will be an error message, then we listed some common operational problems. ◆Successful inventory but failed to access： 12 Eximia Srl – www.eximia.it - www.rfidstore.it...
- Page 13 ORCA-50 UHF Demo Manual V1.0 The process of accessing a tag is actually divided into two steps, first by disk, and then accessed. The above prompt indicates that the label is successful, but the access operation is not possible。 In general, there are two reasons for this problem, one is the parameter settings are wrong, such as reading does not exist in the storage area, another reason is that the RF energy is not enough, access to the operating distance of the label is about the disk operating distance 60% to 70%, so if this is the case, please move the label closer to the antenna。 ◆Access password is wrong： The cause of this problem, as described in the prompt, is that the access password is set incorrectly。 ◆There is no operational label error： There are no labels available for operation in the RF area。 The meaning of the other return information, the user can refer to the document：UHF_RFID serial interface communication protocol _V2.38.pdf 13 Eximia Srl – www.eximia.it - www.rfidstore.it...

If the buzzer sounds slightly longer, then the reader starts the anti-collision function and simultaneously identifies multiple tags。 1.4.2 Access ISO-18000-6B tags Access to the leaflet ISO-18000-6B label can only be accessed. Click the Access tab button to select the label to be operated in the UID list, as shown in the following figure： The next operation is relatively simple, the user can operate on their own. Note the following points： ◆The access operation must operate the label of the currently selected UID。 ◆Can read multi-byte tag data at the same time, the length is not limited。 ◆You can write multi-byte tag data at the same time, the length is not limited. If an error occurs, the...

The unit is dBm。 15 Eximia Srl – www.eximia.it - www.rfidstore.it...
- Page 16 ORCA-50 UHF Demo Manual V1.0 The output power range is 0dBm - 33dBm. The default value is 30dBm (1 W). After this value is set, it will be automatically saved inside the machine, the machine is not lost after power failure。 1.5.2Set the radio frequency spectrum specification In different areas, there are different requirements for radio frequency spectrum. There are two ways to set the reader's spectrum. Method 1: Use the default frequency of the reader. The default frequency of the reader can refer to the frequency parameter correspondence table in the communication protocol. The reader supports a frequency range of 865MHz - 868MHz, 902MHz - 928MHz. Use the drop-down boxes and buttons shown below to set the desired operating frequency range。 When setting the spectrum range, please note the following points： ◆ The starting frequency and end frequency can not exceed the range of RF specifications. 16 Eximia Srl – www.eximia.it - www.rfidstore.it...
- Page 17 ORCA-50 UHF Demo Manual V1.0 ◆ The starting frequency must be less than or equal to the end frequency. ◆ Set the starting frequency and end frequency to the same frequency. The reader will work at constant frequency. This parameter is set, the reader's RF carrier will be in the restricted frequency range of random frequency hopping. The default RF spectrum specification is FCC (902MHz - 928MHz)。 Method 2: user-defined reader spectrum. The user uses three parameters to define the spectrum: the starting frequency, the frequency interval, the number of frequency points。 Note: In order to improve the anti-jamming performance, American Standard and European standard frequency band equipment selected hardware is different, it can not meet the compatible American standard, the European standard two bands。...

If the temperature is too hot, you can stop reading and writing labels for a period of time。 The operating interface for monitoring the temperature is as follows： 1.6.2 Set the buzzer status The buzzer provides the user with the sound information of the reader's use status. The user can turn the buzzer off or set it to sound every time the label is saved. It can also be set to sound every time a label is read, but this will result in a reduction in the efficiency of multi-tag recognition. This feature is more Is applied in the test label or reader occasion。 The operation interface is as follows： It should be noted that the success of the self-test after the buzzer sound is not controlled by this...
