MPR-1910 - 5 - 9/21/2009 INTRODUCTION AWID's Sentinel-Sense MPR-1910 is a long-range (up to 20 feet) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) reader module with 3.3 V TTL logical interface that works with most leading passive UHF passive tags. The reader module comes with a unique combination of long read range, small size, and low power consumption. Its primary applications are asset management and tracking, and fleet management applications. MPR-1910 is delivered with Firmware Version such as 25.xx.xx. In order to operate an MPR-1910 you will need the following:  PC running Windows1 2000 or higher, CD-ROM drive  Host software (AWID’s demo software or your own custom software) 1.1 SPECIAL FEATURES • Multi-Protocol: ISO-18000-6 Type B/C, EPC Class 1 Gen 2 • Thin passive tags with long-range performance • 3.3 V (5.0V tolerable) Serial TTL logical interface • 1 Though MPR-1910 can also be controlled from a non-Windows programming platform, AWID demo and FW upgrade programs are applications to run in Windows.

For certain readers and tags, user must also be mindful of the tag’s orientation and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mounting surface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounted. Any departure from its intended purpose will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energize the tag and its read range. When measuring the reader’s read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented to the reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operator’s finger is not within three (3) inches of the tag’s antenna surface.
MPR-1910 - 8 - 9/21/2009 3 INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDELINES For ease of explanation, MPR reader in this section refers to an RFID device that consists of MPR-1910 and a high performance circular polarized antenna inside a splash proof, UV stabilized housing case. The module should be installed on a heat sink. Example of a heat sink could be an aluminum plate of size 8”x8”x0.1” exposed to convection air flow. The screws at the bottom of module shall be used for mounting the module on the heat sink. 3.1 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS MPR-19xx requires 10-pin flat flex cable (FFC) to connect from the supply source. Avoid using long (e.g., 1” or longer) cables when connecting the unit from the power supply source.
MPR-1910 - 9 - 9/21/2009 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE This section provides installation and operation information for MPR-1980 reader modules. 3.2 PARTS LIST Verify that all items listed below are present before starting the installation. o Sentinel-Sense MPR-1910 Qty=1 o Documentation and command demo program CD Qty=1 3.3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION Familiarize yourself with the connectors and pin out assignment of each I/O connectors. 3.3.1 Bench Top Verification It is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scale installation. The following are the necessary steps to test the reader’s operation in a static environment.  Connect MPR-1910 to the RS-232 port of a PC through the interface board provided in the demonstration kit  Connect the power jack from the wall plug power supply to reader module  Power up PC  Install demo software on PC  Activate demo software and verify performance of the reader.  Select COM port 1 on top page then click “Connect”. Follow with some commands.
MPR-1910 - 10 - 9/21/2009 4 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING AND SYSTEM OPERATION NOTES 4.1 SYSTEM OPERATION 4.1.1 Running a Custom Software Application or the AWID Demo Program If AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected user will launch a Custom Software Application developed using the MPR Serial Communication Protocol II to issue commands to the MPR reader/module as specified. 4.1.2 Operating Modes Typical operating modes for MPR readers can be grouped into the following modes: Search Mode This mode is used when operator or user is not certain what family of tags is placed on the items to be tracked. Since most tags are deterministic in nature, MPR reader must cycle through each and every protocol, issue a protocol specific inquiry, to hail and to wait for a response from tags of that specific protocol. Therefore, if there are many different protocols, for an untrained observer, the reader response will appear sluggish. Mixed Mode This mode assumes the user is aware of the types of protocol in use, and furthermore, the user made a determined effort to operate the reader in a mixed protocol mode. In this mode, the user can decide how many and which specific protocols to be selected. Once Mix Protocol Mode is selected, the reader will routinely cycle through each protocol, dwell long enough for the reader to wait for a response and then move on to the next protocol. It should be noted that in a mixed protocol mode, the tag must have sufficient time to respond to the reader, and therefore, it can only be used on a conveyor belt arrangement, with specific speed restrictions. Single Protocol Mode Single protocol is the normal mode of operation, where the protocol type is known and many tags are expected to pass through the readers. 4.2 USERS NOTE For System Integrators and/or Software Developers System Integrators and/or software developers should get familiar with the MPR Serial Communication Protocol II specifications for developing applications that control an MPR-1980. For Custom System Users For custom system user, please refer to your host software user guide for information regarding system and software operations For Demo Software Users
MPR-1910 - 11 - 9/21/2009 If you are using the AWID RFID demonstration software application which is .NET based with easy-to-follow GUI operations, simply select the COM port for which the MPR-1910 is configured then click “Connect” should get you started. 5 MPR SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL See MPR Serial Communication Protocol Manual II - 041377
