Addendum 1 Falcon ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Overview This document covers the following topics: Getting Start ed • Enabling RFID on page 2 • Reading RFID T ags on page 3 Configuration Se.
Getting Started 2 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Introduction The F alcon 5500 is a F alcon 4420 Windo ws ® CE Color M obil e Computer mounted with a special RFID unit.
Getting Started Addendum 3 4. In the Pistol T rigger column, select RFID . 5. T ap OK. F or information on other RFID configuration options, see Configuration Set- tings on page 8 . Reading RFID Tags For tag read de mo purposes: Once you have enabled the F alcon to read RFID tags, complete the following steps: 1.
Getting Started 4 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer 5. The RFID tag data is enter ed 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.
RFID Electrical Considerations Addendum 5 RFID Electrical Considerations Operating time U nder normal operating conditions, the RF ID batter y will last longer than the F alcon batter y . Extended continuous oper ation may result in the RFID batter y discharging before the F alcon batter y .
RFID Electrical Considerations 6 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer LEDs/Indicato rs RFID Battery Charge LEDs These indicators are visible on the back of the RFID pod. The re d LED is on when the unit is in a dock and the RFID batter y is charging.
RFID Electrical Considerations Addendum 7 Figure 3. Falcon 5 500 Dock Falcon 5500 Dock Use only the correct battery c hargers and doc ks with the Falcon 5500 RFID . The technology used f or this model is incomp atible with other PSC Falcon chargers and docks, inc luding the Falcon 4410/4420 color and monochr ome models.
Configuration Settings 8 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Configuration Settings See Con figuration Examples on page 12 for samples of optimized settings for different usages. R efer to the F alcon 4400 S eries PRG for informat ion about setting other configuration items.
Configuration Settings Addendum 9 RFID Settings 1. Go to Star t > Settings > Control Pa ne l . Double-tap the Decoding icon. 2. Select Configure > RFID . 3. Choose one of the available options. Report Settings In the RFID Decoding P roperties, do the following to view or modify R epor t Set- tings: 1.
Configuration Settings 10 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Power 1. U nder Decoding Properties , go to Configure > RFID > Po wer 2. Enable/disable Gr owing Po wer by selecting the checkbox. When dis- abled, a constant level of RF po wer is output when reading tags.
Configuration Settings Addendum 11 • New T ag Timeout: The amount of time to wait between tags before painting will automatically stop. This is the maximum amount of time spent waiting for new tags after a tag has been read.
Configuration Settings 12 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Configuration Examples The follow ing examples illustrate ways to optimize RFID settings for specific situations. Reading tagged items fr om an entire shelf 1. P ress the trigger and mov e across the items on the shelf.
Configuration Settings Addendum 13 Class 1 Gen 2 Q value Q value sets the number of re spons e slots available for the tags being inventoried (number of slots = 2Q). I t is actively managed during an inventor y round, but starting wi th an appropriate Q decreases the time necessary to perform an inventory .
About RFID Tags 14 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer About RFID Tags RFID Antenna When attempting to utilize the RFID re ad functionality of the F alcon 5500 RFID unit it is important to note that the antenn a is linearly polarized.
About RFID Tags Addendum 15 Tag Orientation Factors Affecting Performance • W ater or water-based products will inhibit (absorb) the signal. • M etal surfaces near the tags may affect per formance. • Misuse of tags (i.e. bending the tag antenna) could cause the tags to become dysfunctional.
Configuration Parameters 16 Falco n ® 5500 RFID Mobile Hybrid Computer Configuration Parameters The follow ing table lists the configurati on parameters which have been added to support RFID.
