2 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device)
2.1 Description and Operation
All E4 XLS models incorporate a passive RFID tag in the finger-hook. The tag contains unique information about
the pipette including model type, serial number, RFID UID and service calibration information. The RFID tag can
be wirelessly linked with the optional reader and software to facilitate querying calibration tracking and service
reminders. The RFID tag is of negligible weight and has no effect on precision or accuracy. It operates only when
read by an RFID reader and the associated software.
Optional Rainin RFID Reader
Rainin recommends the Rainin RFID Reader which interfaces with a PC USB port, and does not recommend
any other RFID readers. Using the Rainin RFID Reader, information can be written to the pipette’s RFID tag in the
same consistent way as it is read from the RFID tag. The Rainin RFID Reader requires LabX™ Direct Pipette-Scan™
Software for read/write capability. The estimated range of operation of the RFID reader is up to 5 cm.
