Introduction
The reader is designed to read trovantm transponders. It is a robust device for industrial applications. It is especially suited for large reading ranges. The adaption to the individual needs can be performed by selection of
the most optimal antenna.
The wide range of applications for this device includes for example:
Production control in car assembly and paint shop, barrel logistics, bin identification, skilift management, etc.
Typical reading range is between 20 cm to 70 cm depending on the type of antenna and transponder.
2.1
Technical data
Mechanical characteristics
The scanner is integrated into a alloy housing with PG threads for the cable connection. When assembled correctly the housing is good for wet environment according to IP 65. The cable connection is done at the inside
of the housing with help of the terminal blocks.
The dimensions of the housing are

Antenna cable
cable type: see chapter. Maximum recommended cable length between antenna and reader box: 5m.
Other cable length are available on enquiry.
definiton of the reading error rate: The reader is set to the default values (i.e. NRD1, NID1, TOR5, MD2...). A transponder is located stationarily within the
optimal antenna field (signal level is at least 250mV above noise level). The reader is triggered 1,000,000 times using the GT command. The total number
of wrong readings is zero.

LED´s
There are several LED’s inside of the reader housing on the PCB. The functions of these
LED’s are:
LED 1 on when antenna is operated.
LED 2 on when last read was not successful.
LED 3 on when last read was a success.
LED 4 on as long as the digital input is high.
LED 5 on when a hardware error was detected.
LED 6 flashing as long as the reader is powered and the microprocessor is working properly.
LED 7 on as long as commands were received on the RS 232 interface.
LED 8 on as long as information is transmitted from the RS.232 interface.

Firmware
The reader supports ASB (AEG ID standard set of instructions). When delivered the reader´s configuration is
set into the operation mode 2 (readings triggered by serial interface).
The reader can be set to the operation mode 0 (continuous operation) or to the operation mode 1 (triggered by
external input).
The parameters NRD and NID should only be changed after consulting the manufacturer.
The following commands are supported by the reader

Putting into operation
4.1
Putting into operation for the first time
a) Connect the device to a 24 V DC source which is able to provide a minimum of 1 A. Connect the antenna with
the device. Connect a Personal Computer or equivalent to the device via the RS 232 interface. Please assure
the interface is set to the right baud rate.
b) Establish a connection to the reader (parameter: 19200 baud, 8N1) by using an appropriate software (for example Windows terminal program). Test the configuration of the reader with the command VS.
c) If the device is in operating mode 2, each reading has to be startet using the GT command transmitted on the
serial interface. If the device is in operating mode 0, the scanner will send transponder numbers to the computer, as long as a tranponder is in the active antenna field.
d) After the device is successfully tested as described above, you can set the reader configuration as needed. Details how to change the configuration of the scanner are described in the ASB description.
4.2
Trouble shooting
Should the reader not work as desired, please check the following:
a) Is the configuration of the reader as wanted? Check with help of the command VS!
b) Is the configuration not known, the baud rates of reader and terminal set different?
Restore the basic setting of the parameters values as follows!
Put DIP-switch 1 ON, make a cold start by interrupting the power supply, put DIP-switch 1 OFF again. Now
all paramter values are set to the default values, the reader will work in normal condition. Attention! All settings are temporary. This means they are lost after switching of the reader. Make the setting permanent using
the command VSAVE.
c) Is the antenna defect or not properly connected? (In that case LED 2 is not on although the reader is in read
mode)
d) The transponder is not in the active antenna field. Bring the transponder closer to the antenna.
e)
Antenna mounting is wrong (for example on a metal plate). In such a case, it can happen that the radiated
antenna power is consumed by eddy currents in nearby metal structures. An indication for such situation is an
exceptional high current consumption of the reader.
Noise can also reduce the read range.
f) High frequency fields radiated by other devices interfere with the reader communication. Please check if such
devices are near to the antenna or the antenna cables. Typical devices which interfere on the reading range are
for example: some monitors for computers, switched power supplies, electrical motors, etc. Please remove such
devices or remove the radiated interferring filed by proper grounding.
g) If the mechanical configuration of metal pieceparts can not be changed and or not suitable for proper readings. Please check, if with a different antenna better reading results can be obtained. Also electrical insulation
for metal parts against each other can help to reduce the eddy current effect.
f)
If the noise resistance or reading frequency of the reader was reduced by changing the parameters NID or
NRD, please return the reader to the preset configuration of the manufacturer.
g)
LED5 is on indicating an hardware failure. If a reset after checking all above points does not help return the
device for repair.

Antennas
The following antennas are suitable for this reader:
a) high power plate antenna AAN FK6 (only choice for USA)
b) high power plate antenna AAN FK2 / FK3
c) rod antenna
AAN FK0
The reader with above antennas was tested against the requirements according
ETS 300683 and EN 55022 class B.
It is possible that antennas of other manufacturers may fit to the device. However, if connecting such non original manufacturer antennas to the device, the warranty will get lost. Also a separate operation permission by
the local state administration might be required.
Special models
The standard device is equipped with an RS 232 interface.
On request there are special models available which support the interface with one of the following interfaces
instead of the RS 232:
- Modbus +
- Interbus S
- Profibus DP
- CAN
- RS485

Warnings and cautions
When using the original AEG ID antennas suited for that device, the combination of antenna and reader have
the German permission for operation. Please check, if special permissions are required at the place of operation.
This reader is an active electrical transmission system and radiates in the frequency range of approximately
124 kHz. When connecting a defect or a not suited antenna to the device the radiated power can be higher
than 42dBµA/m (measured at 10 m distance). The operator is responsible that people at risk are not endagered by the device.
Do not operate the device with open housing, as otherwise there is a danger, that positions with dangerous voltage can be touched.
Never operate the device with defect antenna cables. The antenna cables may conduct dangerous voltages.
When disconnecting an antenna cable please assure that the device is turned off and the cable was groundes for
a short time before touching it. Otherwise stored energy of the antenna may cause harm.
The device should only be opened by trained personal when switched off.
Caution! Υ
Never mount or place the antenna on extended metal parts. Do not bring another antenna very near at the
operated antenna (second antenna operated or not). In both cases there is a risk, that the antenna may be
destroyed. Such defects are not covered by the warranty.

FCC Information
Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) Statement
15.21
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
15.105(a)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital de-vice, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
