skID reader manual.

Connecting skID

Call function Gonector_Get("devices") to get deviceName of skID and then call Gonector_Connect( deviceName ) function to connect to skID. (As a Low Energy Bluetooth device, there is no need to pair the device in the system settings.)

Limitations of skID when used with Gonector

Following list summarizes knowledge gathered by measurement performed by our tester team:

• Material on which RFID tag is placed and its position is important for reading. For example: RFID tag placed on plastic bag placed vertically can be read from distance approximately 15cm, however the same tag placed on wood or glass can be read from distance approximately 50cm
• Speed of reading: one tag can be read by reader approximately 200 per minute, 3 tags can be read by tag 175 per minute
• Reader can connect to iOS device from distance up to 10m
• Reader will lose its connection to iOS device from distance over 15m
