1 Introduction
The MR50 Industrial Reader is a general purpose 13.56 MHz RFID reader. The MR50
Industrial Reader is fully sealed in epoxy to protect the electronics from a harsh environment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the reader.
The MR50 Industrial Reader communicates via the RS232/EIA-232 interface. The use of this
standard communication interface makes it easy to connect the MR50 Industrial Reader to a
host system. The MR50 Industrial Reader also contains a bi-color LED which can be
hardware-controlled by means of two inputs.
Controlling the MR50 Industrial Reader is done by the T=0 protocol which is not a part of
this manual. For more information about the T=0 protocol we refer to the Inside Contactless
manual M220H.
Remark: the T=0 protocol is a worldwide standardized protocol. Although, it is possible that
Inside Contactless also integrated custom made commands into this T=0 protocol. When T=0
protocol is written in this manual, the Inside Contactless T=0 protocol is meant.

Attention
This manual describes the MR50 Industrial Reader with external reader.
The MR51 Industrial Reader has the same functionality and specification but comes with an
internal antenna. Ask your dealer for more information.

2 Regulatory information
2.1 FCC Information to User
This product does not contain any user serviceable components and is to be used with
approved antennas only. Any product changes or modifications will invalidate all applicable
regulatory certifications and approvals
2.2 FCC Electronic Emission Notices
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
2.3 FCC Radio Frequency Interference statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. 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.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

3 Installation guide
3.1 Mounting
The MR50 Industrial Reader can be mounted on a flat surface with two 4 mm screws.
Metal constructions close to the reader-antenna can absorb energy from the reader excite field
and can detune the antenna. The read range of the internal antenna will therefore be reduced if
the reader-antenna is located on metal surfaces or in close vicinity of metal objects. The
amount of reduction will be a factor of the amount of metal and the distance the reader-
antenna is from the metal. Please check carefully if metal constructions in your operational
environment allow for enough margin to guarantee proper operation of the reader.
3.2 External antenna mounting
The external antenna can be mounted on a flat surface with five 3 mm screws and five 3 mm
nylon spacers (not supplied). Do not over tighten the screws!
As mentioned in chapter 3.1, the read range of the internal antenna will therefore be reduced
if the reader-antenna is located on metal surfaces or in close vicinity of metal objects.
Note
The trimmer (C5) on the external antenna is factory adjusted; please do not touch this
trimmer.
If the operational situation requires large metal constructions close to the antenna, part of the
detuning can be compensated for by readjusting C5. In that case please contact Dialoc ID for
more instructions.
3.3 Power supply
The recommended power supply for the MR50 Industrial Reader is 13,8Vdc up to 24Vdc.
The maximum power consumption at 13,8Vdc is 120mA.

3.4 Connections
The MR50 Industrial Reader has one connector for power connection, serial communication
and led-control. The layout of the connector is as follows:
3.5 Led control
The MR50 Industrial Reader has a bi-color LED which can be controlled from the inputs of
the reader. The following table shows how the colors are generated:
