2 Device installation
2.1 Device connection

In the application system, the connection between the reader, electronic tag, and

controller (or PC) is shown in the following figure:

Figure 2-1 Schematic diagram of device connection

2.2 Connect the reader and the controller

The VI-IR600 reader can communicate through any one of the network port, RS485,

and RS232 interface.

Page 8 of 17
 Product overview | VI-IR600P product info guide

(1) Ethernet（RJ45)

Use RJ45 interface to communicate, support 10M/100M transmission rate, using

network cable, it is recommended that the transmission distance should not be
greater than 50 meters.

(2) RS485 interface

To communicate using the RS485 interface, you need to connect the two wires

RS485+ (brown) and RS485- (blue) on the reader to the corresponding two pins of

the controller. It is recommended that the transmission distance should not be

greater than 80 meters.

(3) RS232

The RS232 interface can be directly connected to the PC with a supporting cable. It

is recommended that the transmission distance should not be greater than 10

meters. The connection diagram is shown below:

Figure 2-2-1 The RS232 reader connects to the PC

2.3 Connect power

VI-IR600 reader adopts DC12V/3A power supply. The power adapter that meets this

requirement is provided by our company together with the reader. The power

connection method is as follows:

(1) Check and confirm whether the voltage and operating frequency of the AC

power supply meet the requirements of: AC 100-240V/50Hz

(2) Insert the DC output plug of the power converter into the +12V DC input port of

the reader

(3) Insert or connect the 220V AC power input line of the converter to the AC power

supply line

(4) The power indicator of the reader should be lit, indicating that the power input is

normal

2.4 Equipment joint debugging

The key to the joint debugging of the equipment is: the height, direction angle, and

inclination angle of the industrial reader enable the reader to read the electronic tags

within the desired range. The debugging method is:

(1) Power on the device, use the "RFID reader management system" to connect the

reader, turn on the reader's buzzer, set the reader to automatic working mode,

select the corresponding mode for the reporting interface, and select the

reporting mode to report immediately Or report regularly or report in real time.

(2) Because the material of the identified object is different, the required label is

also different. Therefore, when debugging, the electronic label should be affixed

to an object with the same material as the surface of the identified object, and

the object should be moved back and forth within the range where the label is

expected to be read. If the reader can read the electronic label correctly, the

built-in buzzer will sound and the blue LED will flash.

Note: The reader only radiates microwave power when reading and writing

tags. The installation and debugging personnel should be at least 30cm away

Page 12 of 17
 Product overview | VI-IR600P product info guide

from the antenna to meet the requirements of the US FCC for the maximum

allowable radio frequency (RF) radiation requirements for human exposure.

2.5 Labeling

In the application process of radio frequency identification system, the matters

needing attention in labeling are:

(1) Adopt the glue and label model recommended by the manufacturer.

(2) For labels applied to metal surfaces, special glue should be used.

(3) The position of the label on the surface of the object must be field tested to

ensure that the reading and writing effect meets the requirements.
