Doc# 041313 INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-1510 3.2x is a long-range (12 to 15 feet) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader module with RS-232 I/O interface that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. This reader comes with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power consumption.

When measuring the reader s read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented to the reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operator s finger is not within three (3) inches of the tag s antenna surface. AWID PROPRIETARY...
60-70 degrees. The radiation pattern is an oval-shaped beam, which should be aimed toward where the transponders will pass. 3.4 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS All the MPR reader wiring should be continuously shielded. AWID recommends using #24 AWG up to #22 AWG, longer distances and higher current consumption on the AWID PROPRIETARY...

3 dB, this will cause the antenna pattern to deviate from a true circle. AWID s antenna used with MPR-3014 readers has a horizontal to vertical differential of typically less than 0.5 dB, making its pattern as near to a circle as possible.
5.1 SYSTEM OPERATION 5.1.1 Running a Custom Software Application or the AWID Demo Program If AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected user will launch a Custom Software Application developed using the MPR 3014 Protocol for issuing commands as specified to the reader.
- 13 - Doc# 041313 If you are using the AWID RFID demonstration software application which is .NET based with easy-to-follow GUI operations, simply select the COM port for which the MPR reader module is configured then click Connect should get you started.
