Copyright © 2007 scemtec Transponder Technology GmbH (STT) General: As this technology is based on radio frequency, one must exercise the following operational and mounting instructions to achieve best operation: • • • Metal affects radio signals. Normally the antenna has to be as far away as possible from any metal object and it’s damping influence on the magnetic field. Only this leads to the best distribution of the magnetic field in the reading range. Very important as well is not to have “short circuits”, in the vicinity of the antenna, damping the magnetic field. A “short circuit” is any metal near the antenna, building a “metallic ring”, so that currents introduced by the RF-field can flow, destroying the energy needed for the tag to operate. Care must be exercised to reduce or eliminate unwanted signals (so called interference or noise) from external sources. The reading range may be reduced by following noise sources: • portable two way radio • cellular phones • switching power supplies • computer monitors • frequency converters (e.g. motor control systems) The read range is depending upon • performance of the reader • size of the antenna • size of the tag (the bigger the better) • orientation of the tag antenna plane to the reader antenna plane • quality of the tag • matching of reader antenna size and tag (-antenna) size • environmental, electrical noise • If influence of metal can not be fully avoided a tuning of the antenna is required and will improve reading range Document No. SIR-2720 Version: 0.04 Page 3 of 14 Manual and Specification SIR-2720 (13.56 MHz Midrange Reader) System Description The "SIR-2720 13.56 MHz Midrange Reader System" is hereafter referred to as "Reader." This manual describes the SIR-2720 13.56 MHz Midrange Reader System, Reader for short. This SIR-2720 Midrange Reader System is designed as a multi-tag system to read and write information stored on transponders (tags). The operating frequency of 13.56 MHz yields a relatively wide reading range of up to 700 mm depending on antenna system (mainly with larger externally attached antennas) and transponder -type and -size. This first generation of SIR-27xx Midrange Readers is based on the hardware developed by scemtec Transponder Technology featuring an RF transmitting power of max. 1.4W @ 50Ω-load. The SIR-2720 13.56 MHz Midrange Reader System is the second product in the SIR-27xx product family. The transmission of data between the reader and a host computer via the asynchronous RS232 interface can be up to 115200 baud. A USB 2.0 full speed compatible interface and an Ethernet port is available as well. The reader is compatible with standards ISO/IEC 15693- 2 and ISO18000-3 "A."

The reader is ready for operation after a short self-test. The reader carries out a short self-test each time it is switched on. This tests all key components and functions of the reader. Once the diagnosis routines have completed successfully, the software switches to IDLE mode, i.e. the program waits for input via one of the three described ports of the interface to switch to a different operating mode. At this time, the antenna does not yet transmit since the carrier is still switched off. The hardware is in STANDBY operating mode, the carrier is not active, and the energy consumption of the reader is minimal. The carrier is automatically switched on once the reader receives a command from the host sent across the interface, which the reader can only carry out with activated carrier. If there is no input for a longer period of time after executing the command, the carrier is switched off again and the hardware enters the STANDBY mode again as well. The time until the carrier is switched off can be set with the software. It is also possible to set the carrier to a stable on or off state using the software. Document No. SIR-2720 Version: 0.04 Page 5 of 14 Manual and Specification SIR-2720 (13.56 MHz Midrange Reader) 4.2 Reading / Writing Tags Several tags in the field can be read or written simultaneously (anti-collision). The duration of the reading/writing process depends on the number of tags in the field. Generally, there is no max. number of tags that are permitted in the field at the same time. 4.3 EAS Antitheft EAS is an abbreviation of Electronic Article Surveillance. This operating mode serves to monitor items or articles electronically. The tags in the field are neither read nor written. The only thing determined is whether a tag is in the field with a set EAS mode flag. This mode allows for greater ranges than the read/write mode. When using an external antenna such as the scemtec SAT-A40-LR-O-13MHz with an edge length of 400 mm (available as optional equipment), the detection range can be expanded up to max. 700 mm. Note: EAS mode is not supported by all silicon and transponder manufacturers. Hardware 5.1 Voltage Supply The standard version of the SIR-2720 reader in standard housing is designded for an input voltage range of 12 Volt / =DC and a tolerance of +/_ 1Volt . The following input voltage ranges are thus possible with the rated current consumptions in different operating modes: Input voltage ranges: = DC / direct current Input voltage - tolerance Current consumption of the different operating modes: in STANDBY mode: @12 V / DC power supply while operating(carrier on):@12 V / DC power supply 12 volt +/_ 1 volt ≤ 150 mA ≤ 800 mA For the SIR-2720 reader system is a suitable wall plug 12 volt =DC / 1000mA power supply also as optional accessory available and contactable to the SIR-2720 over a 2.1-mm standard barrel connector. 5.2 Safeguarding, fuse-requirements Regarding the safety requirements for the SIR-2720 a standard TR5-fuse T1A / 250V (slow blow fuse) is used to protect the complete electronics inside against short circuits or overcurrent . It is required that this fuse should only be changed by trained technician or skilled personnel ! 5.3 HF Unit The carrier frequency of 13.56 MHz is generated in the HF unit. The final stage generates an output of max. 1.4 watt on nominal ZF = 50 Ω. Document No. SIR-2720 Version: 0.04 Page 6 of 14 Manual and Specification SIR-2720 (13.56 MHz Midrange Reader) 5.4 External Antenna The reader is only operational with an external antenna. The operating frequency f0 amounts to 13.56MHz with a max. RF output of 1.4W on nominal ZF = 50 Ω. Some key parameters of the reader such as range, for example, depend on the used antenna, the used transponder type and size and quality, and the resulting magnetic coupling between the transponder resonant circuit and the transmission/receiver antenna. Normaly only one external antenna can be connected with a BNC plug connection located on the front of the cable inlet side (see port labeled “Antenna out”). Optional the SIR-2720 reader system can be delivered in the max. increment with two external antenna ports and cyclically multiplexed via software (host-controlled or autarc in combi-mode). When operating with the external antenna, this antenna should be configured for the optimal resonance frequency of 13.56MHz with ohmic adjustment (nominal ZF = 50 Ω) to ensure the best possible adjustment to the SIR-2720 13.56MHz Midrange Reader System. Recommended external antennas are scemtec antenna models: SAT-A11-LR-O-13MHz SAT-A40-LR-O-13MHz SAT-A4-LR-P-13MHz 5.5 Digital Signal Processing 5.5.1 Processor 600 mm diameter 400 mm * 400 mm 200 mm * 200 mm Loop antenna Loop antenna Loop antenna A Texas Instruments digital signal processor (DSP) is utilized. 5.5.2 Memory The utilized memory consists of flash memory. The flash memory firmware can be updated at any time using one of the three interfaces to be activated. A serial EEPROM to store the configuration data is standard equipment. 5.6 Interfaces Interface-connectors of the SIR-2720 13.56 MHz Mid-Range Reader System 5.6.1 RS232 The RS232 interface serves to connect the SIR-2720 13.56MHz Midrange Reader System with a host computer. The connection is made using the 9-terminal D-SUB plug labeled RS232. Each data transfer starts with a start bit followed by eight data bits and one stop bit. Parity is configured as no parity. Please consult the current scemtec STX/ETX protocol description and specification for additional information about the interface protocol. The speed at which the entire reader system and the host computer are working is significantly affected by the data transfer between reader and host. This data transfer rate is adjustable using the software of the SIR-2720 13.56MHz Midrange Reader System. This involves a standard RS232 interface cable.

Please consult the separate SEC-1500 interface-specification for additional details! 5.7 Inputs / Outputs Inputs/outputs of the SIR-2720 13.56 MHz Mid-Range Reader System 5.7.1 Binary Inputs Two binary inputs are available for customer-specific tasks. Both inputs are accessible with indirectconnected optoisolators and screw terminals (see terminal description below). Both inputs pins (photodiode) of the optoisolator are direct routed to the screw terminals. This means the input current should amount to at least 5 mA and max. 10 mA with a defined input voltage of up to max. 24 VDC using a suitable dropping resistor. For example, this results in a dropping resistor value of approx. 4.7 kOhm, which must be still terminated externally, for an input voltage of 24 VDC and a required input current of the photodiode of 5 mA. The state of both binary inputs must be imported unambiguously using the software; see software description STX/ETX protocol.
