IntroductionBrady RF/ID systems consist of Brady RF/ID tags and a reader/writer for reading data from tagsor writing data to tags. Several different types tags and various reader options are available tosuite any application. Brady RF/ID TagsBrady RF/ID tags consist of a microchip, coil antenna and packaging. Packaging and microchipoptions can be combined to fit any RF/ID tag requirement. Microchip options include read only, read write and several different memory capacities forread/write applications. Typically, read only tags are randomly preprogrammed with 40 bits(10HEX Characters) of permanent data. Versions of read only tags are available which can beprogrammed once with a designated number. This number is then permanently stored in the tagand can be read many times. This type of tag is typically referred to as a WORM (write once readmany).Read/write tags have permanent data as well as programmable data. The permanent data is similarto a read only tag. It is usually 32 bits (8 HEX Characters) of data which can not be changed.Read/write tags also have memory which can be changed. The amount of changeable memory in aread/write tag ranges from 152 bits (19 Alphanumeric Characters) to 1536 bits (192Alphanumeric Characters). Versions of read/write tags are also available with passwordprotection or data encryption for high security applications that require secure data transmissionbetween the reader and the tag. Packaging options include a variety of forms as well as different case materials for a wide range ofoperating temperatures and chemical resistance. Brady Medium Range Reader The Brady Medium Range Reader is an RF/ID reader which interfaces to a host PC or other datacollection device through standard RS-232/422/485 or Wand emulation hardware format. The Brady Medium Range Reader was designed to be used in various Industrial applicationswhich require rugged and reliable equipment. Versions of the Medium Range Reader are availablewith an Intrinsically Safe Rating which allow them to be used in explosion hazard areas. TheMedium Range Reader is water resistant and can withstand many of the harsh chemicals found inindustrial manufacturing and petrochemical processing.RFID SystemsBrady Medium Range Reader UsersGuide2000-0002Page4 Copy write 1998,WH Brady
Setup and WiringThe following is a simple procedure for setting up and operating the Brady Medium RangeReader/writer. Follow the instructions carefully. Any deviation from these instructions may voidthe Limited Hardware Warranty.Upon ReceiptŸRemove items from shipping the container.ŸCheck package contents for the following items:1. Brady Medium Range Reader Reader/Writer2.Optional accessories.ŸFill out and return product registration card.Brady Medium Range Reader Power Supply RequirementsThe Brady Medium Range Reader needs to be powered from a 12V D/C, 500mA Linear PowerSupply. Using a Switch Mode or similar supply may degrade reader performance or render itinoperable.Connecting the Brady Medium Range Reader to a Data Collection DeviceThe permanently attached cable is used for connecting the Brady Medium Range Readerreader/writer to a host computer or data collection device. (See Fig 1 page 6 ) Because of themany different data collection devices and serial port formats which can be used, consult theowners manual of the data collection device to be used for proper wiring and connectorinformation. Once you have determined the proper wiring and connector information for the data collectiondevice, the cable can be connected to the Brady Medium Range Reader cable.Proper splicing techniques should be used when adding additional cable to the Brady Readercable.

Medium Range Reader OperationOperating HintsBecause the Brady RF/ID System uses radio frequency (RF) energy to communicate between thetag and the Medium Range Reader, there checking this several important points to keep in mindwhile setting up and operating the system.ŸMetal effects both Medium Range Reader and tag antennas by reducing the read range of theoverall system. If at all possible, keep tags and the Medium Range Reader antenna away frommetal.ŸInterference from other electronic sources can reduce read range. If the interference is strongenough, it may render the system inoperative. When reading tags, keep the Medium RangeReader and tags as far away from these sources as possible. These sources include but are notlimited to: 1. CRTs (Computer Monitor, CCTV Monitor TV’s)2. Light Dimmers3. Brush-type motorsOperating the Medium Range Reader Operation of the Brady Medium Range Reader is accomplished remotely by sending a series ofcommands from the host computer. To read/write to a tag the host sends a series of commands tothe reader over the serial communication line. The reader will initiate these commands andresponds back to the host with the status of these commands and information gathered from tags.See the software programmers manual for further details on reader commands.RFID SystemsBrady Medium Range Reader UsersGuide2000-0002Page9 Copy write 1998,WH Brady
