2.4.3 Coaxial RF Feeder Cable (optional)

Image 2-6 schematic diagram of feeder line

RF cable TNC(Reverse polarity, internal thread, inner pin) connector connect with reader antenna

TNC connector, RF cable SMA connector connect with external circular polarization antenna’s SMA

connector, cable maximum length is 5m, impedance 50Ω, insertion loss is less than 2dB,

high-performance cable can also be selected, and the length can be increased appropriately,

insertion loss is less than 2dB.

Note: Poor contact of cable connector or an ultra-long RF cable can cause excessive attenuation

of the transmitted signal and received echo signal, resulting in deterioration of read/write

performance.

2.4.4 Network connection diagram

Network interface used for long-distance high-speed connection (less than 80 m), can be connected

with the switcher or router through the network cable, or directly connected with the PC network

interface, as shown in figure 2-7:

3. Installation
3.1 Notes
To ensure the normal and stable operation of the device and your personal property and safety,

please carefully read the following notes before install CL7206C reader and writer:

1. Firstly, check whether the power socket is connected to the ground, and to see whether the local

power supply voltage is in accordance with the applicable voltage range of the reader;

2. Check the device and the external connection if is closely connected;

3. Pay attention to the type selection and the length limit of the network cable and the serial cable:

Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters

Serial cable connects directly, no longer than 10 meters

4. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should be

appropriate to avoid interference with each other.

3.2 Installation conditions

Before installing the reader, please check carefully whether the product is in good condition and

the accessories are complete. If there is any parts missing or damage, please contact the supplier in

time.

3.3 Device connection

3.3.1 Power on

Insert the power cord into the AC power supply socket and plug another end into the power

connector of the device and tighten.

Turn on and wait about 20 seconds, the system initialization process is completed and is standby

14
 state.

3.3.2 Antenna connection

The device built with four TNC coaxial cable connector for connecting an external antenna, select

low consumption RF cable, connectors should be tightened (Ensure to be waterproof when install

outdoors);

The reader antenna angle or tilt need to adjust to the best position through the actual test

according to the specific application.

3.3.3 PC connection

The device provides special adapter cable, including interface of network, serial and power,

RS232 interface is for short distance communication (less than 10m), through the DB9 connector

and the PC serial port connection to realize the communication of PC and the device,

RJ45 network port used for long distance communication (less than 80m), connect PC with

extend network cable.

3.4 Device installation

The reading and writing range of the reader depends on the on-site application, the tilt angle of

the antenna is adjusted to achieve the best reading and writing performance.

3.5 Acceptance
Mainly from two aspects of acceptance criteria: structure and performance.

3.5.1 Acceptance of structure

Check below details:

 Whether reader is fixed firmly, without loose

15
  Whether the cable connected firmly

 Whether the screws are tighten

3.5.2 Performance acceptance

 Whether the reader is working properly

 Whether the read and write range is reasonable

16
4. Common failures
4.1 Daily maintenance
The routine maintenance of CL7206C4 usage:

☆To check whether the tightening of RF connector

☆To check if the screw fixed reader and antenna is loose

☆To check whether the RF cable connector is disconnected from the shielding layer

☆To check if the reader power cable connection is reliable

4.2 Common failure analysis and solution

Power supply system failures:

Check whether the power adapter is normal, and the AC supply voltage is between 100V ~ 240V.

The panel indicator light failed when power on:

Check whether the communication is normal; please contact customer service if it’s not normal.

The serial port unable to connect:

Check if the serial cable is not connected or connected unstable.

Check if the serial port connect baud rate of the reader is correct

Check if the selected COM port is right.

The network port cannot connect:

The default IP address and port of CL7206C is 192.168.1.116:9090, ensure the IP address of the PC

and reader in the same network segment, such as "192.168.1.XXX" then you can connect to the

reader, if you forget the IP address of the device, you can reset the reader ’s IP address through the

serial port.

The reader can't read the tag

17
Check if the setting of antenna number is correct

Check if the label is damaged

Check if the label is placed in the reader's valid reading and writing range.

Check if the electromagnetic interference between the reader and the other device.

For the problem users cannot solve, please contact customer service.
