MPR-1510AR 2.6h 1 -5- 1/18/2007 INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-1510A-RM Rev 2.6 h (MPR-1510AR 2.6h or simply 2.6h) is a long-range (12 to 15 feet) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader module with RS-232 I/O interface that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. The reader module comes with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power consumption.

MPR-1510AR 2.6h 2.3 -7- 1/18/2007 MEASURING READ DISTANCE Make sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, user must also be mindful of the tag’s orientation and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energize the tag and its read range.
MPR-1510AR 2.6h 3 -8- 1/18/2007 INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDELINES For ease of explanation, MPR reader in this section refers to an RFID device that consists of 2.6h and a high performance circular polarized antenna inside a splash proof, UV stabilized housing case. 3.1 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS All the MPR reader wiring should be continuously shielded.
