1 Introduction to EZYiD®
Radio Frequency Identication (RFID), is a method of communicating information from one point to another point by use of electromagnetic waves (radio waves). RFID Technology has unique characteristics, making it benecial for use in industrial systems.
The EZYiD Reader is a specially designed Ultra High Frequency (UHF) device, designed for use in conjunction with EZYiD RFID Tags, Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags and also with EZYiD embedded hardware products. The Reader is designed to transfer unique serial number information from the tag to a computer, tablet or mobile phone device of the user’s choice.
2 Who Should Read this User Instruction Manual?

It is the responsibility of the seller to provide this instruction manual and it is the responsibility of the user to read and understand these instructions prior to use. If the Reader is used in a manner contrary to the specication of the manufacturer (as dened in this manual), the performance of the equipment may be impaired.

Stickers
Stickers:

Universal Moulded Tags
Universal Moulded Tags:
Universal Moulded Tags are 19mm x 10mm x 5mm (3/4” x 25/64” x 13/64”) and can be tted to assets by using a cable tie, nail, screw, pop-rivet, or glue. The Universal Moulded Tags can be attached to any asset.
26 27
6 Considerations
Considerations when choosing tag type and tting locations:
All Tags, Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags should be applied to an area of the asset where they will not interfere with the function of the asset. Care should also be taken to position the tag away from the high-wear areas of the asset, in order to best defend the tags from abrasion/wear, which may cause the tag to become detached.
All Tags, Cable Ties, Stickers and Universal Moulded Tags are passive (passive components are electronic components that do not require a source of energy to perform their intended functions).
