Maintenance Mode
Maintenance Mode is used to perform tests corresponding to actual operation. Maintenance Mode can
be used to simply measure the communications performance in a particular environment, making it
useful for checking during system installation and operation.
The following five modes are available within Maintenance Modes.
Mode
Distance Level Measurement
Mode
Tag Communications Test
Mode
Speed Level Measurement
Mode
Noise Level Measurement
Mode
Communications Success
Rate Measurement Mode
Host Communications Monitor
Mode
Maintenance Mode cannot be used when the V680-H01 Antenna is connected.
Regardless of the mode setting, the Unit will operate in Tag Communications Test Mode.
Using Maintenance Mode
1.
Set Test Mode.
Set pins 1 to 3 on DIP switch SW4 to the Test Mode to be used.
p. 62
2.
Set the Mode Switch (SW5).
Turn ON the power and turn ON the mode switch (SW5) to change to Mainte-
nance Mode.
If the power is turned ON with the mode switch (SW5) already set to
ON, the Controller will enter Maintenance Mode.
If the power supply is turned ON with the mode switch (SW5) turned ON, the ID Controller will start in Maintenance
Mode. If Maintenance Mode is entered during command execution (other than in Host Communications Monitor Mode),
all current processing will be canceled. If a write command was being executed, part of the contents of the Tag may
have been overwritten.
To switch to another mode, change the Test Mode on pins 1 to 3 on DIP switch SW4 then turn ON the mode switch
(SW5).

Measures the Antenna and Tag installation distance in relation to the Tag communications
range and displays the result on the bar indicator.
Communications with Tags and displays the end code on the monitor display to indicate the
result.
Measures the number of times that communications can be performed consecutively based on
the speed Tags pass through the Antenna communications range and displays the result as a
speed level on the bar indicator and monitor display.
Measures the ambient noise level in the installation environment and displays the result on the
monitor display.
Executes communications with a Tag 100 times with no retries and displays the result as a
communications success rate on the monitor display.
Outputs the communications commands and responses exchanged with the host device from
the USB port.
