Anleitung Zusammenfassung
2. Aim the device toward the tag you want to read. 3. Press the trigger. The front LED turns orange, indicating that the RFID reader is being used. 4. The device beeps as tags are read. Addendum Getting Started 5. The RFID tag data is entered into the application. 6. When the read is finished, the front LED turns off and a final beep is heard, indicating that the operation is complete. The RFID Antenna (in the RFID unit) should be positioned to face the tag location. Figure 1. Aiming the Falcon 5500 See Configuration Settings on page 8 for information about modifying the default settings. For more details about RFID tags, see About RFID Tags on page 14. Painting The paint operation gives the operator the ability to cover an area with RF energy to gather more than one tag with a single trigger pull. Painting is achieved by holding down the trigger and sweeping the area containing tags. The energy is terminated either when the trigger is released or a timeout (as specified in the control panel settings) occurs. The device will beep each time additional tags are read while painting. Reference Read Limits on page 10 for information on setting up your unit for painting. Falcon® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer RFID Electrical Considerations RFID Electrical Considerations Operating time Under normal operating conditions, the RFID battery will last longer than the Falcon battery. Extended continuous operation may result in the RFID battery discharging before the Falcon battery. When using “paint” mode, the battery will last approximately 3 hours. If the RFID unit fails to operate or produces error messages on the Falcon screen, it could be an indication that the RFID battery is becoming depleted. The red indicator light will begin to flash when the battery gets low. See LEDs/Indicators on page 6 for more information. Charge time You must charge the Falcon in the RFID-compatible dock prior to first use. The initial charge time is approximately 24 hours. See “Charging the Batteries” in the Falcon 4400 Series Quick Reference Guide (QRG) for more information. CAUTION After the initial charge, normal charge time is approximately 4 hours. The time depends on how much charge is in the battery when charging begins. Addendum RFID Electrical Considerations LEDs/Indicators RFID Battery Charge LEDs These indicators are visible on the back of the RFID pod. The red LED is on when the unit is in a dock and the RFID battery is charging. The green LED is on when the unit is in the dock and the RFID battery has reached full charge. When the unit is out of the dock, neither LED will be on. Figure 2. LED indicators Battery Charge LEDs Discharge indicator If the RFID unit fails to operate or produces error messages on the Falcon screen, it could be an indication that the RFID battery is low. When the battery is close to depletion, the red LED indicator light (located on the back of the RFID unit) will begin to flash. As the battery becomes further discharged, the flashing will increase in frequency. Falcon® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer RFID Electrical Considerations Figure 3. Falcon 5500 Dock Falcon 5500 Dock Use only the correct battery chargers and docks with the Falcon 5500 RFID. The technology used for this model is incompatible with other PSC Falcon chargers and docks, including the Falcon 4410/4420 color and monochrome models. Go to the PSC website at for information about models and part numbers. Addendum Configuration Settings Configuration Settings See Configuration Examples on page 12 for samples of optimized settings for different usages. Refer to the Falcon 4400 Series PRG for information about setting other configuration items. Audio 1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Decoding icon. 2. Select Configure > General > Audio. 3. Choose from the following options: • Volume: Move the slider to raise or lower the audio volume. • Beep Type —Good Read selects the tone (pitch), duration and number of beeps which are played at the end of a successful RFID painting operation. —RFID Tag Read selects the pitch and duration of the beep which is played each time one or more tags are read. It can also be disabled, so that only the green LED turns on when new tags are read. Other options for Beep Type are RFID Tag Write or RFID Failed Write. Falcon® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Configuration Settings RFID Settings 1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-tap the Decoding icon. 2. Select Configure > RFID. 3. Choose one of the available options. Report Settings In the RFID Decoding Properties, do the following to view or modify Report Settings: 1. Under Decoding Properties, go to Configure > RFID > Report Settings. 2. Report Frequency controls how often RFID tag data is reported to an application. When set to a specific number of tags, data is reported when at least that many new tags have been read. When set to Infinite, data is only reported when a painting operation is complete. 3. Select...
