The basic item is a transponder that works as a forgery-proof electronic identity disk. The reading unit of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-free transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms. As a sight connection between the transponder and the reader is not absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material. The BROOKS CF-Card Transponder Reader is a device to read and write to TIRIS transponder. The card can be used in connection with a notebook or a PDA. Transponder Reader – CF-Card, Release 1.1 1 I NTRODUCTION 1.2 About this Manual This manual contains information about installing, operating and error handling the BROOKS CF-Card Transponder Reader.

Store this manual in a place that can be accessed at any time by all persons involved in installing, operating and error handling the device. Heed all warnings. Follow all warnings on the device and in the operating instructions. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions only. Only use attachments, accessories and connecting cables supplied by the manufacturer. People with hearing aids should remember that radio signals transmitted by the device might cause a very unpleasant buzzing noise in their hearing aids. When you disconnect a cable, pull on its conductor and not on the cable itself. Keep the connector evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. When you connect a cable, ensure that the connector pins are positioned correctly. Never over bend the antenna cable or expose it to mechanical loads. When replacement parts are required, use the replacement parts specified by the manufacturer only. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 2.3 Proper Use This product was developed for reading and writing the TIRIS ® transponder only. Any other use of this device would constitute abuse and would render the user’s authority to install and operate the device invalid.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, in accordance with part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception – this can be determined by turning the equipment off and on – the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference using one or more of the following measures: — Reposition or relocate the receiving antenna. — Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. — Connect the equipment to an outlet to a circuit other than the one to which the receiver is connected. — Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.

Installation is only permitted in an environmental indoor climate with a constant temperature of between 0°C and +50°C / 32°F and 122°F, humidity between 25% and 80%, and a maximum temperature of +50°C / 122°F. Do not install or use this device in or near water. Never spill liquids of any kind onto the device. Should spillage occur, unplug the device and have it checked by a technician. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not install the device in a flammable environment. Never expose the device to intense changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can develop inside the device and cause damages. The device should not be used in the immediate vicinity of electrical units (such as medical units, monitors, telephones, televisions and energy-saver lamps), magnetic data carriers, or metallic objects. This could result in reduced reading/writing ranges. Never use the device in potentially explosive areas (such as paint shops). Do not position the device in a location where it can suffer from vibration or shock.

The interface of the reader is comparable with the interface of a serial interface card. 4.3.1 Notebook or Desktop PC On operating systems which support plug & play, the card will be detected automatically. Then only the delivered *.inf file must be installed. If the card was installed successfully a new entry “com x” appears in the device manager (for example “com 3”). On operating systems which don’t support plug & play, the card must be installed manually. After plug in the card and starting the system, the serial interface must be configured manually. For more information see the Windows help of the device manager. 4.3.2 PDA On a PDA there is no installation of the CF-Card Reader necessary. The card supports plug & play for an easy use. If the card was plugged into the PDA a new COM port will be established automatically (for example “com 3”). Via this COM port, the system can communicate to the card via the serial protocol of the card. To test the card, the BROOKS test tool must be installed on the PDA. To install the test tool, start the setup.exe on the delivered CD-ROM and follow the instructions on the screen. System requirements for the installation of the test tool: ARM processor Operating system: PocketPC 2002 A version of Microsoft ActiveSync must be installed on the host. The PDA must be connected to the host and a connection must be established. The test tool is also available on request for other processor types and OS systems. Transponder Reader – CF-Card, Release 1.1 19 4 I NSTALLATION 4.3.2.1 BROOKS CF-Card Reader Test Software for PDA The test software can be used to read and write to a TIRIS transponder. After starting the software, the tool is searching for the BROOKS CFCard Reader. Was the CF-Card Reader detected successfully, the message “- PCCard found –“ appears in the status line. Pushing the button ‘SCAN’, starts the reading of the transponder. The transponder data can be displayed in ASCII mode or in HEX mode.
