INTRODUCTION
The Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. (Cubic) Tri-Reader® 3 serves as the front end for a remote ticketing
device used for automated fare collection (AFC) in public transportation systems (e.g., bus, rail, subway, etc.).
It can be used in ticket validators, ticket vending machines, gates, and other AFC equipment. This equipment
can be on board vehicles or in fixed ground locations. The Tri-Reader 3 will be responsible for direct
communication with a contactless smart card (CSC), which is a type of radio frequency (RF) tag. The design
caters for at least three types of CSC, namely ISO14443 Type A, Type B, and GO CARD®.
1.1
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This document provides an overview of Cubic’s Tri-Reader 3 operation, including components and required
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notices.
1.2
OVERVIEW
Interpretation of the information stored on the CSC, as well as the processing of the revenue collection
transaction, will be done by the Tri-Reader 3 itself, based on faretables and hotlists provided by the host
computer.
The firmware on the Tri-Reader 3 is designed to be updated in-system using FLASH-based technology. It will
therefore be possible to cater, within limits, for different CSC types and configurations—if required in the
future.
The communications is as follows:
1.
The Tri-Reader 3 will power the CSC through radiation by an induced RF field.
2.
By sequencing through the communication protocols for the different cards, it will detect the card
type by checking for the associated response.
3.
Once the card type and therefore its communication mechanism is known, the Tri-Reader 3 will
read and write data on the card according to the fare rules in the faretables.
4.
The Tri-Reader 3 will pass data to and from the CSC by using the appropriate protocol for
modulation and demodulation of the signal.

TRI-READER COMPONENTS
2.1
TRI-READER 3 ANTENNA TYPE
4400-46001.A.00
The Tri-Reader 3 is a loop antenna with a diameter of 78 mm.
Figure 2-1. Tri-Reader 3 Antenna
2.2
TRI-READER 3 INTERFACE TO HOST UNIT
There will be a one-to-one (RS-422/RS-232) link between the Tri-Reader 3 and the host unit. The Tri-Reader
3 will operate as a single Remote Ticketing Device (RTD). A shielded RJ45 connector connects the TriReader 3 to the host unit. This link is for the serial data.
2.3
RF COMMUNICATION
All RF communication between the Tri-Reader 3 and the CSC will be accomplished at a carrier frequency of
13.56 MHz according to modulation/demodulation schemes for ISO 14443 Type A, ISO 14443 Type B, and/or
GO CARD requirements. At a minimum, the RF field will be able to power up to three CSCs in close
proximity. The transmitter antenna is tuned to its resonance during production. The modulation/demodulation
scheme will also be automatically selected by the local controller.

2.3.1
Tri-Reader 3 User Manual
December 2, 2008
RF Field Strength
The magnetic field strength is approximately 9 A/m in the center of the antenna and falls off by the third power
of the distance. The electric field strength is determined by the voltage applied to the coil as well as the
efficiency of the antenna as a radiator. The effective applied voltage is approximately 12 Vrms, but the
antenna is fitted with a balanced shield, reducing the apparent common mode voltage to 0.
2.3.2
Modulation Types
The signals for communication between the Tri-Reader 3 and the CSC will differ between card types. In some
cases, data will be modulated onto a carrier only, while in others a subcarrier will also be present. The
modulation schemes used for communication also differ from one card type to another as described below:
CSC Type A:
Reader-to-card, ASK 100% modified miller, 106 kb, 212 kb and 424 kb.
Card-to-reader, ASK - Manchester, load modulation—subcarrier fc/16,
847.5 kHz, 106 kb, 212 kb and 424 kb.
CSC Type B:
Reader-to-card, ASK 10% modulation index NRZ, 106 kb. Card-to-reader,
BPSK-NRZ load modulation subcarrier fc/16, 847.5 kHz, 106 kb.
Type GO CARD:
Reader-to-card, ASK 8% modulation index NRZ, 115.2 kb. Card-to-reader,
ASK-NRZ load modulation, 115.2 kb.
2.4
TRI-READER 3 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD SIZE
The Tri-Reader 3 consists of an 86.5 mm diameter circular digital board, an 82 mm diameter circular analog
controller board and an 83 mm diameter antenna board. Thickness, including components and antenna
board, is 17 mm, except for the RJ45 connector which extends 10 mm above the components on the back of
the board, giving a maximum thickness of 27 mm.
2.5
TRI-READER 3 PHYSICAL INTERFACES
The following physical interfaces apply to the Tri-Reader 3:
1.
The Tri-Reader 3 is powered from 8 to 24 Vdc. It can draw a maximum current of 1.5A (at startup)
and dissipates up to 2.8 watts. This can be supplied either via an expansion connector (J8) or it can
be tapped from the host communication cable, in which case it will come in on the RJ45 serial
comms connector (see the pinouts below).
2.
The Tri-Reader 3 comms can be set to be either RS-232 or RS-422/485 levels. RS-232 mode is
selected by software.
3.
The Tri-Reader 3 has automatic baud rate detection between 9,600 bps and 921,600 bps.
4.
If RS-232 is used, only two of the four comms lines on the RJ45 connector are required. Pin 2 on
the RJ45 connector is the Tri-Reader 3 receive line (232Rx) and should be connected to the host
computer Tx output (pin 3 on a normal DB9). Pin 6 on the RJ45 connector is the Tri-Reader 3
transmit (232Tx) line and should be connected to the host computer Rx input (pin 2 on a normal
DB9).

5.
If RS-422 or RS-485 is used, 485RxL must be taken to the host transmit low, 485RxH must be
taken to the host transmit high, 485TxL must be taken to the host receive low, and 485TxH must be
taken to the host receive high.
6.
The Tri-Reader 3 has an onboard tri-color LED indicator. In addition to this it has a connector (J3)
for interface to external LEDs. Table 2-1 provides the J3 pinouts.
7.
The RJ45 communications connector is a shielded type that is mounted in the J5 position. It mates
to any standard RJ45 cable connector. Table 2-2 provides the J5 pinouts.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION NOTICE
December 2, 2008
In addition to the FCC notice on the back of the title page, the following notices apply:
IMPORTANT FCC NOTICE
When the Tri-Reader 3 is installed into a device, such that the FCC ID number on the Tri-Reader 3 is not
visible from the outside of the device, an additional label must be provided. This additional label must be
placed on the outside of the device so as to be visible before installation of the device.
This label must show the following wording:
“Contains FCC ID: LVCTR03”
This must be a permanent label that has a life expectancy at least equal to that of the life of the equipment to
which it is attached. The text must be legible, with good contrast and a minimum of 8 point type size.
This is a mandatory legal requirement of the FCC. Failure to provide such marking invalidates the FCC’s
authorization for operation of the Tri-Reader 3.
