1 Scope
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been included in the 21st century
one of the 10 major technologies. RF is the automatic identification object
recognition technology. Readers are to read in the attached electronic tags on
objects such as to carry out card access to the information, animal tracking,
checking inventory and merchandise checkout, and sales of the whole supply chain
management. This will become a model to change human consumption patterns
emerging technology.
The main operation principle of RFID is utilizing the reading device (Reader)
Send RF wave for the electronic label that is planted into or stuck on the things
(Tag) in order to distinguish the wireless materials. The composition component of
RFID system includes Reader, Tag, PAD or cell-phone and the contents which are
in reader or tag.

When the application system wants to distinguishing things, the host can be
passed by RS-232 to control reader and sends radio wave energy. When Tag senses
this energy that there is asking the answering machine inside (Transponder) and the
mechanism will change power into energy that passes a series of discernment
materials giving back to reader and host that are in order to distinguish the things.
The specification of ART-320 is in compliance with EPC Class-1 Gen 2 that
is a specification for RFID air interface.
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses a nd can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction,
may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no
grantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
dose cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on , the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
--Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
