Manual for skID R1280
This document describes known limitations of RFID reader skID R1280 as
well as measured distances for reading on certain types of materials.
This document is only overview of capabilities skID R1280 RFID reader. For more information see reader manual.
Connecting RFID reader
Call function Gonector_Get("devices") to get deviceName of skID and then call Gonector_Connect( deviceName ) function to connect to skID.
Limitations of RFID reader
Following list summarises knowledge gathered by measurement performed by our tester team:
- When more RFID tags are present in reading zone of device, reader can create non-existing value
- Material on which RFID tag is placed and its position is important for reading. For example:
RFID tag placed on plastic bag placed vertically can be read from distance approximately 15cm,
however the same tag placed on wood or glass can be read from distance approximately 50cm
- Speed of reading: one tag can be read by reader approximately 200 per minute, 3 tags can be read by tag 175 per minute
- Reader can connect to iOS device from distance max. 10m
- Reader will lose its connection to iOS device from distance at least 15m
Solving issues with RFID
This section describes issues with reader, which can occur together with possible solution.
- Gonector_Get("devices") doesn't see your skID:
- Make sure that your skID is running with Bluetooth BLE firmware with optimal iOS settings: you can ask CaenRFID Technical Support to get this firmware and instructions how to setup your skID: support@caenrfid.it
