4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Encès
Once properly wired, apply DC24V power to the reader. The orange LED indicator will illuminate to show the device is powered on and operational.
4.2 Tag Lectura
Position an ISO 15693 or ISO 14443A compliant electronic tag within the reading distance of the reader (0-80mm for VI-IRQ30-HF, 0-60mm for VI-IRB30-HF). The reader will automatically detect and read the tag's data.
4.3 Integració de programari
Utilize the provided API development package and application routines (C, C#, Java) to integrate the reader with your specific application software. The communication rate can be configured between 9600 and 115200bps via serial communication.
4.4 Operational Demonstration
Watch the video below for a demonstration of the RFID reader in operation, showing tag detection and data display on a connected computer.
5. Manteniment
5.1 Neteja
Due to its IP67 protection, the reader is resistant to dust and water. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp tela. Eviteu utilitzar productes químics o materials abrasius.
5.2 Actualitzacions de firmware
The reader supports firmware upgrades via its serial port. Refer to the specific firmware upgrade guide provided by Vanch for detailed instructions. Regular firmware updates can improve performance and add new features.
5.3 Consideracions ambientals
The reader is designed to operate in temperatures from -40ºC to +70ºC and humidity from 5% to 95% (non-condensing). Ensure these conditions are maintained for optimal performance and longevity.
6. Solució De Problemes
- Sense alimentació/LED apagat:
- Check the DC24V power supply connection and ensure it is active.
- Verify the M12 harness is securely connected.
- Cannot Read Tags:
- Assegureu-vos el tag is an ISO 15693 or ISO 14443A compliant type.
- Comproveu que el tag is within the specified reading distance (0-80mm for VI-IRQ30-HF, 0-60mm for VI-IRB30-HF).
- Verify there are no metallic obstructions or strong electromagnetic interference near the reader.
- Confirm the communication settings (baud rate) in your software match the reader's configuration.
- Problemes de comunicació (RS485):
- Check RS485 wiring for correct A/B line connections and termination resistors if necessary.
- Ensure the communication protocol (VUP protocol) is correctly implemented in your software.
- Verify the serial communication rate is set correctly.
- Intermittent Reading:
- Check for environmental factors such as excessive noise or temperature fluctuations outside the specified range.
- Assegureu-vos el tag is presented consistently within the optimal reading zone.
