Safety Instructions
Please recognize the safety regulations. Nevertheless, there are dangers associated with the
use of the equipment even for its intended purpose. Therefore you should read the following
safety information carefully and keep it in mind. Install and operate this equipment only if it is
in perfect condition and with reference to this manual. Do not use the equipment if it is damaged!
3.1
General
Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before installing and operating the
device.
This instruction is designed for specially trained personnel. This device is NOT intended for use
by the “general population” in an uncontrolled environment. Installation, operation and error
handling the device shall be carried out by specially trained personnel only.
Keep these instructions. 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 and inside the device and operating instructions.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions only.
Only use attachments, accessories and connecting cables supplied by the manufacturer.
All error handling except the error handling listed in this manual must be carried out 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.
Do not connect the device to any kind of power supply such as a standard household power
supply. The device should be connected to a power supply of the type described in these instructions only.
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.

To prevent fire, shock hazard, or annoying interference, use recommended accessories only.
When removing the housing lid, note that the housing lid is connected to the case with a cable. Remove the lid carefully to prevent
damage – do not pull it! Do not operate the device when the housing lid is removed!
Do NOT operate this device without a proper antenna attached.
Proper antennas are antennas supplied by the manufacturer and
listed
in
section
„Antennas“.
Never locate the antenna so that it is very close to or touching
parts of the body while transmitting.
3.3
ESD Instructions
Static electricity can harm electronic components inside the device. All persons who install or
maintain the device must be trained in ESD protection. ESD protection measures must be observed when opening the device.
Before removing or inserting components, disconnect the power supply.
To prevent electrostatic damage, static electricity must be discharged from the body and tools
before touching components inside the device.
Touch electro sensitive components carefully at their edges only.
3.4
Proper Use
This product was developed for reading and writing the TIRIS® transponder only. Any other use
of this device would constitute abuse. All antenna resonant circuit components carry high voltage! To prevent fire, shock hazard, or annoying interference, use recommended accessories
only. Do not operate the device when the housing is removed! Proper antennas are antennas
supplied by the manufacturer“. Never locate the antenna so that it is very close to or touching
parts of the body while transmitting. This product is designed to be mounted and operated in
an industrial environment as a built-in-device only. It is not designed to be used as a standalone or a portable device in a non-industrial environment, such as a household, automotive or

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

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 distances may be lower due to other electromagnetic interferences! So, try to keep the distance
between antenna and ID tag as low as possible.

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 37 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 business 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 energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful 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 interference 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.
