“Tag Too Close” Function
Using the service configurator, the “tag-too-close”
function can be selected to help prevent false
alarms. With this function selected, the red lamp on
top of the antenna blinks twice every four seconds
for one minute when the system detects one or
more stationary tags or labels are too close to it.
The lamp goes out when these tags/labels are
moved away from the system.
Tagged items must be kept at least 1.5m (5ft) away
from all sides of the antenna.

LED System Status Indicator
An LED system status indicator on the controller
indicates the following:

- Yellow flashing (performance downgraded;
indicates the following:
- Green flashing (system on and okay)
- Yellow flashing (performance downgraded;
service recommended)
- Red flashing in a particular sequence (fault
detected, call for service)
The number of red flashes identifies a digit in a
two-digit alert code (for example, four flashes is
the number four). The start of an alert code is
indicated by a long LED interval. Then the first
digit of the code occurs, followed by a short
delay, followed by the second digit.
