Page 5 12/21/2004 1. INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-2010AN Ver. 1.21N is a long-range (12 to 15 feet) reader with TCP/IP interface and general purpose digital I/O (GP I/O - four (4) input four (4) outputs) that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. This reader comes with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power consumption. MPR2010 has an internal power converter, allowing it to work with a wide range of supply inputs without affecting its performance.
Page 6 12/21/2004 Passive tags are “beam powered”, which is the electromagnetic energy radiated by the transmitter section of the reader. Upon receiving a legitimated command, the tags will cause the matching of the tags antenna to vary from match to mismatch, thereby causing the tags to either absorb the RF energy or to reflect the RF energy. This absorption or reflection sequence is commanded by the tag’s internal memory and this is how the tag’s internal data are “conveyed” to the reader.

Page 11 12/21/2004 2.2. MEASURING READ DISTANCE Make sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, the 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.

Page 14 12/21/2004 3.3. INSTALLATION STEPS • • Check to ensure that all connections are secure. Make sure all wires through the cable clamps are anchored properly; avoid dangling wires that may become safety hazard. Mount the Reader using the two recessed threaded holes to fasten to reader on the desired mounting surface. Please note that the threaded inserts are closed ended, user must select screws with exact length to ensure proper tightening of the mounting screws.

Setting Up MPR-2010AN or BN Refer to the Set Up Procedure for MPR-2010AN/BN document. 4.1.2. Running a Custom Software Application or the AWID Demo Program If AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected user will launch a Custom Software Application developed using the MPR_2010AN/BN TCP/IP Interface to send commands as specified to the reader. 4.1.3.
