Page 5: Introduction
Brady Wand The Brady Wand is an RF/ID reader which interfaces to a host PC or hand held data collection device through standard RS-232/422/485 or Wand emulation hardware format. The reader is typically powered from the host device with 5V D/C. If an un-powered data port is used, an external battery source must be provided to power the reader. - Page 6 RFID Systems Operating the Brady Wand is very easy. To read/write to a tag the operator presses the large activation button located above the hand grip.(see fig.1). Once the button is pressed, the reader electronics sends out a radio frequency field to search for a tag. During this time the red LED, located above the button, will illuminate indicating that the Wand is in search mode.
