F740 User Guide
If F741-SD is going to transmit signal to other device, please connect to the device
which is below 48V and 10mA.
If user wants
F741-SD to receive data from other device through GPIO, please
connect 24V power source to PIN19 or PIN20 and connect the device output line to
Pin 1~ Pin8.
The development of programming of receiving data from GPIO could reference the
document “FAVITE F741-SD GPIO Programming Guide_DotNet CSharp” for read
data from GPIO with application method.
If user wants F741-SD to transmit data to other device though GPIO, please connect
to Pin 9~ Pin 16.
The programming of transmitting data to other device (like light stack) could
reference the document “FAVITE F741-SD GPIO Programming Guide_DotNet
CSharp” for write data from GPIO with application method. The device should
connect to independent power source.

The F741-SD is including diagnostic LEDs on the face of the reader to provide easy
and convenient external indication for various operating conditions:
POWER (green) – indicates that power is applied to the reader.
Read (yellow) – indicates that the reader is receiving data from a tag.
Fault (red) – indicates that a fault condition like CRC check error.
debug (blue) – indicates that the F741-SD is into debug mode
