The selected antenna is not enabled.
2 Hz 0xA5 0xE2FE85 The selected frequency is not enabled.
The carrier signal is not activated.
There is more than one transponder in the transmission window.
General radio protocol error
4 Hz 0x41 0xE4FE01 Warning in the event of low power supply
The power supply is very close to the low limit.
4 Hz 0x43 0xE4FE03 Antenna error
• The antenna or the antenna cable is defective.
• Error in the connection to the reader; the reader is not answering (in PROFIBUS opera-
tion).
– The cable between the communications module and reader is wired incorrectly or
there is a cable break
– The 24 V supply voltage is not connected or is turned off or has failed briefly
– Automatic fuse on the communications module has blown
– Hardware defective
– Another reader is in the vicinity and is active
– There is a reflecting metal surface in the vicinity that is disrupting the antenna field
Possible corrective measures:
- Reduce radiated power of antenna.
- Change antenna alignment. Avoid parallel alignment of antenna/metal.
- Use antenna cable with greater attenuation.
- Install attenuator between antenna and reader.
– Execute "init_run" after correcting the error
2 Hz 0x44 0xE4FE04 The buffer on the communications module or reader is not adequate to store the command
2 Hz 0x45 0xE4FE05 The buffer on the communications module or reader is not adequate to store the data tem-
2 Hz 0x46 0xE4FE06 The command is not permitted in this status or is not supported.
Possible cause:
• "INIT" was chained.
• Command repetition was started without "Presence mode".
2 Hz 0x47 0xE4FE07 Startup message from reader/communications module
The reader or communications module was off and has not yet received a "Reset_Reader"
("WRITE-CONFIG") command.
• Execute "INIT"
• The same physical address in the "IID_HW_CONNECT" parameter is being used more
than once. Check your "IID_HW_CONNECT" parameter settings.
• Check connection to the reader
• The baud rate was switched over but power has not yet been cycled
