Structural features and working principle

1. Overall structure and working principle

From its structure, FU-M6-M type reader is mainly composed of host unit, radiofrequency module unit, interface unit and chassis.FU-M6-M reader, tag, and PC (personal computer) form a complete reader applicationenvironment. Under the control of the PC, the host unit sends instructions to the radiofrequency module unit. The radio frequency module unit depends on the tag type. Aftersending out the corresponding instruction, the tag returns the correspondinginformation after receiving the instruction. The information is received by the radiofrequency module unit and then sent to the host unit and finally returned to the PC.

2. Panel description

The antenna port is used to connect to a TNC connector (male threaded inner needle).

Power supply, communication, GPIO and indicator panel.

The reader has an antenna connection self-check function. When the connectedantenna is a closed-circuit antenna, the reader will automatically select theconnected antenna; if the connected antenna is an open-circuit antenna, thereader will not be able to recognize it;When the reader does not recognize the antenna, it needs to seduce the antennamanually;

It is strictly forbidden to select the antenna port for card reading when theantenna is not connected.

Installation and commissioning

Please read this chapter carefully before installing the FU-M6-M reader.

1.Installation Precautions

In order to ensure your personal and property safety, you must make the following preparations beforeinstalling and using the FU-M6-M reader.

Measure and estimate the connection distance between the device and the system (such asreader and antenna, reader and PC, reader and power socket, etc. );

Check whether the installation position and direction of the reader and antenna willaffect the reader and electronic tag

Signal interference occurs during information exchange; when installing multiple readers/dense readers, pay attention to the antenna placement method of multiple readers and theminimum distance between the antennas to avoid mutual interference.

2. Installation conditions

Before installing the FU-M6-M reader, please carefully check whether the product is intact,whether the attached accessories are complete, and meet the required standards, and it canbe completed.

(1) Choose installation location

The antenna installation position should consider the minimum safe distance betweenthe antenna and the human body.

(2) Connect various devices

Connect readers, antennas, and PCs.

The auxiliary parts must be connected to each other in accordance with the designated equipment.When installing and connecting the antenna, pay special attention to the polarization matching betweenthe antenna and the electronic tag, otherwise, it will seriously affect the reading/writing distance ofthe reader to the electronic tag.

(3) install equipment

According to the on-site application situation, the read-write range of the reader and the connected antennais preliminarily determined. According to the on-site reading and writing test results of the FU-M6-M reader,Adjust the inclination (rotation) angle of the reader antenna to make the reading distance reach the bestcondition. Finally, fix the installation position and tilt (rotation) angle of the equipment.

3. Debug common problems

This section describes in detail the common problems in the debugging process, especiallythe general problems caused by incorrect installation, and explains how to correct them.The main common problems of debugging are as follows:

• No response from reader

The power indicator light is on check the relevant cable connection, and check the correspondingitem according to the status of the relevant indicator light;In the state of network port communication - check whether the connected IP is correct; checkwhether the IP address conf licts; whether the IP address and the host computer are in the same network segment; Whether the antenna number is set correctly.

• Read/write label error

Check whether the reader/writer protocol is compatible with the label protocol;

Check whether the reader configuration is correct;

The label placement position, whether the label is within the effective reading and writing range of thereader; whether there is electromagnetic interference between the readers or other equipment;

Whether the access password is required for label reading/writing, and whether the password is correct;

Whether the label is damaged.

• The read and write range does not meet the requirements

Check the antenna installation direction

Check whether the polarization mode of the antenna and the tag are the same

Whether the antenna selection supports the requirements of the read and write range

Whether there are interferences in the surrounding environment.
