The reader of the system sends an electromagnetic field to the battery-free transponder via the antenna. This activates the transponder and sends the stored data back to the reader. The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms. Since 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 RFID reader reads TIRIS transponders at a frequency of 134.2 kHz.

Installation is only allowed in an interior room at a constant temperature between -25 °C and +70 °C l -13 °F and 158 °F, and a relative humidity between 25 % and 80 %. Never use the device near or in water. Never pour liquids of any type over the device. If the device should accidentally come in contact with liquid, disconnect it and have it checked by a technician. Do not install the device near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not install the device in a flammable environment. CAUTION Never expose the device to extreme temperature fluctuations, since otherwise condensation develops in the device, which can cause damage. Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 27 Chapter 6 Installation Do not install the device in the vicinity of voltage lines or other power lines with which they could collide (for example, when drilling), which could result in serious injuries or even death. The device (especially the antenna) should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of electrical equipment such as medical devices, monitors, telephones, TV sets, magnetic disks and metal objects. This could result in reduced read and write ranges. Never use the device in explosive areas (such as paint warehouses). CAUTION ATTENTION Do not use the device in areas where it is exposed to vibrations or shocks. The installation location must be adequately illuminated during the installation. Never install the device during a lightning storm. ATTENTION When determining the installation site, keep in mind the length of the antenna wire and the read/ write range of the antenna used. Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 28 Chapter 6 Installation 6.2 CAUTION Quali fied install ati on per sonnel The installation is to be carried out by specially trained personnel only. If you are uncertain about their qualification, contact the manufacturer. CAUTION Operating the device without special training can result in damage to the reader and/or connected devices. 6.3 Unpacking The device and the accessories are packed under clean-room conditions. In order to maintain this condition, the device must also be unpacked in clean-room conditions. Disposing of the packaging material The packaging material consists of cardboard and foil. Dispose of these materials separately, and observing the legal regulations of your country. Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 29 Chapter 6 Installation 6.4 Dimensions 6.5 C onnecting the RFID reader The device can be connected to a running PC. The driver is automatically detected and installed. This takes approx. 20 seconds. The operating system of the computer reports that installation has been successfull, and the reader is then ready for use. Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 30 Chapter 7 Operation O pera ti o n This chapter gives you an overview of the following topics: ■ Operating personnel ■ Normal operating mode ■ Setup mode ■ Status diagram as overview ■ Flow chart ■ ASCII values for setup 7.1 CAUTION Operating personnel The RFID reader LF40C THR should only be operated by specially trained personnel. If you have doubts about the required qualifications, contact the manufacturer. Operating the device without special training can result in damage to the reader and/or connected devices. 7.2 No rmal operat ing mode The reader works like a connected keyboard. Place the cursor into a text document or into a text input field of the active application to read a transponder. Hold the device near a transponder and press one of the two read buttons (see Foil keypad and Side view). The reader reads the transponder and, via the USB interface, writes the read data into the text document or input field. The data format (ASCII or HEX) depends on the setup setting (see chapter Setup mode). If the read operation has been successful, the reader confirms this by a short sound signal (per page read). If the read operation has not been successful, you can hear an additional long sound signal. Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 31 Chapter 7 Operation 7.3 Setup mode To enter setup mode, connect the device as described in the chapter Connecting the RFID reader, and start a text editor (we recommend Editor or WordPad, Numlock activated). Then press the set button on the reader until the setup menu appears in the editor (see Foil keypad). The Setup menu can be specially protected, depending on the settings of Parameter 0 (0x00). The reader switches to setup mode. On the screen, this is indicated by the following line (software version can differ): Software: USBL_V30 Parameter Select The settings in setup mode are adjusted via the read button and the set button (press as well as press and hold). A flow chart of the setup is illustrated in the chapter Flow chart. 7.3.1 Parameter No. (dec.)

For this purpose, a number for the transponder type is displayed in front of the actual transponder data. This behavior can be activated or deactivated. Values: on off - transponder type is displayed - transponder type is not displayed Default: off The transponder types are displayed by the following values: 01 - Read Only Transponder 02 - Read/Write Transponder 03 - Multipage Transponder Parameter 33 (0x21) ReadPage This parameter determines the start position of a read operation on a multipage transponder. Values: 0x01 .. 0x11 - page 1 to 17 Default: 0x01 (standard value for scanning) When the value is 0, the different transponder types are read as follows: Multipage transponder - only page 1 is read (8 bytes) Read Only Read/Write - entire transponder is read (8 bytes) - entire transponder is read (8 bytes) The transponder types Read Only and Read/Write can only be read when the value is 0. Parameter 34 (0x22) ReadLength This parameter defines the length of the data (intervals of 8 bytes) that are to be read during a read operation. The displayed value adjusts to the value of the parameter ReadPage. This means that if the read operation starts from page 1, a maximum of 136 (= 17 pages x 8) bytes can be read. However, if the read operation starts from page 2, then a maximum of only 128 (16 pages x 8) bytes can be read. Values: 0x08…0x88 - read (n*8) bytes, with n = 1..17 (page) Default: 08 (read 8 bytes) Product Manual - RFID Reader LF40C THR 34 Chapter 7 Operation Parameter 35 (0x23) MIDFormat This parameter defines the format in which the MID data of the transponder is to be displayed.
