Revision: 50 LF-134-SER Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual Seite 13 von 39 4 Application RFID provides simple and fast radio identification via a short range. The Low frequency reader LF-134-SER is a 134.2 kHz Low-frequency RFID solution. It is special-ized for applications in production and logistics. It is less sensitive to interference than HF solu-tions and designed for rugged applications. Ideal application environments are production facilities featuring only one or very few identifi-cation goods (i.e. Load port). The module supports 134.2 kHz half duplex transponders, reading of “Read-only” as well as “Read-Write” transponder types. Host communication is realized by a Serial RS-232 interface with data rates up to 57.600 Kbit/s. Supported communication protocols to a superordinate host system are: - ASCII-L (Fabmatics ASCII light protocol) - ASCII-H (Hermos compatible) - ASCII-A (Asyst CIDRW compatible) - SECS (SEMI E99 compatible)

This can be necessary if several Antennas needs to placed very closely to each other or if an high read frequency up to 14 cycles/s needs to perform. All values are calculated values and might be differ a bit. Jumper Block J1 RF supply Voltage (approx.) Read distance (approx.)

Revision: 50 LF-134-SER Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual Seite 19 von 39 NOTE: With full output power (no jumper) it is not recommended to read faster than ones per second! For perform hing speed cycles up to 14 times per second permanently, the output power must reduced to 85% by setting jumper J1.4 (obove R44). By default no jumper is set (100% output power). 6.4 Circuit Block Diagram 6.5 Serial Interface Specification The setting of the serial interface depends on the applied software protocol.

The button starts a single page read (page 0, same as command ’R’) with an interval of approx-imately 250msec as long as the button is pressed. Depending on protocol version, the read re-sult is send to the serial interface and shown by the Status LEDs. ID read OK ID read Fail The functioning of the Test-Button depends on protocol version: Protocol Version Test button function ASCII-L Trigger ID read, status is indicating by device LEDs. Data and failure messages will be send to host! ASCII-H not implemented ASCII-A Trigger local ID read, status is indicating by device LEDs. No messages will be send to host. SECS not implemented

Status LEDs Desciption Green active Power OK / Idle mode Yellow active Reading in progress (Read success in test mode) Red active Reading error 7.3 Reading and Writing Ranges The provided reading ranges shown here and in their respective Antenna datasheets are measured with best conditions. In real environment the ranges can be differ due to disturbing material like metal or any kind of electro-magnetically fields near to the Antenna location. Please thorough improve the conditions before make final decisions about the Antenna location. Writing ranges in general are approximately 60% of the reading ranges. Be aware that tag reading and writing very close to the antenna will not be possible. As a guide value keep the distance above 10mm ! For detailed information about individual range characteristics of available Antenna-Types please refer to the corresponding data sheets like ANT-04-35E / ANT-08-65E / ANT-10-100E. Example range measures with Antenna ANT-08-65E: Antenna aligned orthogonal to the ID Tag, reading rage up to 150mm Antenna aligned parallel to the ID Tag, reading range up to 220mm
Revision: 50 LF-134-SER Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual Seite 25 von 39 Technical Antenna data of ANT-08-65E: Operating Frequency: 134.2 KHz Inductance: 48 µH ±3% 7.4 Installation guide for RFID ferrite core antennas This guide shall show you the best way to install RFID antennas to your devices to achieve safe reading results. It considers two possible orientations between antenna and ID tag: 1. Antenna is aligned orthogonal to the ID tag, in one layer 2. Antenna is aligned parallel to the ID tag, in one layer General information: - Don’t attach RFID antennas directly to metal surfaces and avoid ferromagnetic materials! Leave a gap of at least 5mm and use plastic mountings and screws for fixing the antenna. - Don’t install antennas, cables or reading devices close to electromagnetic radiating devices such as switched-mode power supplies! - Only use shielded cables and try not to loop the remains! - Try to align antenna and ID tag in one layer. (see case explanations) - Maximum distances are given for best surrounding conditions. In reality the maximum dis-tances may be lower due to other electromagnetic interferences! So, try to keep the distance between antenna and ID tag as low as possible.

Revision: 50 LF-134-SER Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual Seite 35 von 39 10 Maintenance, repairs, troubleshooting 10.1 Maintenance Cleaning of the surfaces is possible with Isopropanol (IPA). The plant operator is responsible for the maintenance. Before start working on the system, always check for mechanical damage and pay attention to any unusual noises! 10.2 Trouble Shooting In case of any problems check the following list point to point. 1. Power LED is off? > check power supply (try to replace it) or power cable In case of frequent read fails, try to use the Read Test Button (only LF-134-SER-P >V3.1) or use the Fabmatics Test Suit (OTS) Software. If the red LED is flashing equably fast during read operation, the reader indicates a persistent Read-Error. Proceed with step 2. 2. RFID Tag is out of range? > decrease distance between Antenna and Tag and check Transponder- (Tag) alignment - recheck read operation 3. RFID Tag is damaged? > replace Tag and recheck read operation 4. Antenna, Antenna-cable or Antenna-plug is damaged? > replace Antenna and recheck read operation 5. Power supply has malfunction (under voltage)? > replace power supply and recheck read operation 6. Reader Hardware is damaged? > replace the ID-Reader and recheck read operation

Revision: 50 LF-134-SER Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual Seite 38 von 39 11.3 USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) LF-134-SER is a Part 15 Low Power Communication Device Transmitter (DXX) and a Part 15 Class B Computing Device Peripheral (JBP). It is a device that is marketed for use in industrial or busi-ness environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the general public or is intended to be used in the home. 11.3.1 Compliance The product complies with FCC Subpart C – Intentional Radiators § 15.207 and § 15.209 and the product complies with Subpart B – Unintentional Radiators § 15.107 and § 15.109, when used for its intended purpose. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency en-ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harm-ful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the inter-ference at his/her own expense. 11.3.2 Antenna Requirements The antenna is removable and does not employ a unique connector; however, the device is professionally installed and maintained. Therefore, the described reader LF-134-SER complies with FCC Subpart C – Intentional Radiators § 15.203. 11.3.3 Labeling Requirements The described reader LF-134-SER is not large enough to accommodate a label with the standard FCC compliance statement. It is therefore provided here as follows: 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired. For further labelling information please see chapter 0.
