MPR-1710 1 -5- 6/19/2008 INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-1710 is a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader module with RS-232 and USB 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 (credit card) and low power consumption. Its primary applications are access control, asset management and tracking, and fleet management applications.

MPR-1710 2.3 -7- 6/19/2008 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-1710 3 -8- 6/19/2008 INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDELINES For ease of explanation, MPR reader in this section refers to an RFID device that consists of MPR-1710 and a high performance circular polarized antenna inside a splash proof, UV stabilized housing case. The module should be installed on a heat sink. Example of a heat sink could be an aluminum plate of size 8”x8”x0.1” exposed to convection air flow. The screws at the bottom of module shall be used for mounting the module on the heat sink. 3.
