www,tsl.com READING TRANSPONDERS ANTENNA LOCATION AND READ DIRECTION RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is located on the back of the 1101 UHF Reader. Antenna located behind this cover. Antenna location and read direction FIGURE 6: HOLDING THE READER For best results the reader should be held so that the transponders are behind the reader as shown in Figure 7.
READING TRANSPOND www,tsl.com TRANSPONDER ORIENTATION The 1101 UHF RFID reader has a circularly polarised antenna. This means that the alignment of the transponder relative to the reader is unimportant. In many cases a transponder will only be sensitive along two of its three axes.
READING TRANSPOND www,tsl.com READ AND WRITE RANGE The range at which a transponder can be read depends on the transponder type, size and location. Generally; ● larger transponders can be read at greater distances ● moving transponders closer to each other reduces read distance ●...
SOFTWARE www,tsl.com SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT To make full use of the functionality of the 1101 UHF Reader, a customised software application will be required. There are two approaches that can be taken: ● For basic applications requiring minimal software development expertise the reader supports an ASCII command mode.
