3. Installation
3.1 Notes
To ensure the normal and stable operation of the device and your personal property and safety, please

carefully read the following notes before install CL7206B8A reader:

1. Firstly, check whether the power socket ground terminal is connected to the ground, and to see whether

the local power supply voltage is in accordance with the applicable voltage range of the reader;

2. Check the device and the external connection if is closely connected;

3. Pay attention to the type selection and the length limit of the cable and the serial line:

Network cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters

R485 cable connects directly, no longer than 80 meters

Serial line connects directly, no longer than 5 meters

4. When installing several readers, the antenna position and the antenna spacing should be appropriate to

avoid interference with each other.

3.2 Installation conditions

Before installing the reader, please carefully check if the product is in good condition, the accessories are

complete or not, if there is any damage, please contact the supplier.

3.3 Device connection

3.3.1 Power on

Insert the power cord into the AC power supply socket and plug another end into the power connector

of the device and tighten.

Turn on and wait about 12 seconds, the system initialization process is completed and is standby state.

3.3.2 PC connection

11
 The device provides special adapter cable, including interface of network, serial, USB and power;

RS232 interface is for short distance communication (less than 5m), through the DB9 connector and the

PC serial port connection to realize the communication of PC and the device.

RS485 interface used for long distance serial communication (less than 80m)

RJ45 network port used for long distance communication (less than 80m), connect PC with extend

cable.

3.4 Device installation

The reading and writing range of the reader depends on the on-site application, the tilt angle of the antenna

is adjusted to achieve the best reading and writing performance.

3.5 Acceptance

Mainly from two aspects of acceptance criteria: structure and performance.

3.5.1 Acceptance of structure

Check below details:

 Whether reader is fixed firmly, without loose;

 Whether the cable connected firmly ;

 Whether the screws are tighten

3.5.2 Performance acceptance

 Whether the reader is working properly;

 Whether the read and write range is reasonable.

4. Common failures
4.1 Daily maintenance
The routine maintenance of CL7206B8A usage:

☆To check if the reader power line connection is reliable

4.2 Common failure analysis and solution

Power supply system failures:

Check whether the power adapter is normal, and the AC supply voltage is between 100V ~ 240V.

The panel indicator light failed when power on:

Check whether the communication is normal, if it’s not normal, please contact customer service.

The serial port unable to connect:

Check if the serial cable is not connected or connected unstable.

Check if the serial port connect baud rate of the reader is correct

Check if the selected COM port is right.

The network port cannot connect:

Factory set the default IP address: 192.168.1.116:9090 when CL7206B8A reader ex-factory, ensure the IP

address of the PC and reader in the same network segment, such as "192.168.1.XXX" then you can connect

to the reader, if you forget the IP address of the device, you can reset the reader ’s IP address through the

serial port.

The reader can't read the tag

Check if the setting of antenna number is correct

Check if the label is damaged

Check if the label is placed in the reader's valid reading and writing range.

Check if the electromagnetic interference between the reader and the other device.

For the problem users cannot solve, please contact customer service.
