1. Safety Instructions / Warning
Read before startup !
• The device may be used only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
• The Installation Instruction should be kept in an accessible location and handed out to every
user and maintenance person.
• Non-approved modifications and the use of replacement parts and accessories which have not
been purchased or recommended by the manufacturer of the device may cause fires, electrical
shocks and injury. This will furthermore result in exclusion of liability and loss of warranty on
the part of the manufacturer.
• The warranty conditions in effect at the time of purchase shall be considered valid. No liability
is assumed for inappropriate, improper manual or automatic setting of parameters for a device
or for improper use of a device.
• Repairs are to be performed only by the manufacturer.
• Hookup, startup, maintenance, measuring and calibration work on the device must be per-
formed only by electrical specialists who have received the relevant accident prevention train-
ing.
• When operating devices with probably live wires, respect the valid security regulations.
• Before opening the device always turn off the supply voltage and use a test instrument to verify
that the device is unpowered.
• The fact that the indicator lamp is off does not necessarily mean that the device has been dis-
connected from the power supply or that it is without power.
• All work on the device including installation must be in conformance with national electrical
regulations as well as with local code.
• The device must be installed and electrically connected in accordance with the recognized
technical regulations in the country where it is being installed and according to other regional
codes..
• The base plate and the attached heat dissipater may become quite hot during operation.

2. Features of the ID ISC.LRM200-A/B Reader Module
2.1. Features
The ID ISC.LRM200-A/B Reader Module has been developed for reading passive data tags, so-
called „Smart Labels“, at an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz. It is suitable for all applications in
which long reading distances are required. Depending on the specific Reader Module used, a ba-
sic antenna (ID ISC.LRM200-A) or a basic antenna plus complementary antenna (ID ISC.LRM200-
B) may be connected to the Reader.
An anti-collision function allows reading of up to 30 transponders at a time.
The Reader Module electronics is mounted on a rigid, 6 mm thick aluminum base plate. The mod-
ule has two digital inputs, two digital outputs, a relay output and an asynchronous interface which
can be configured as RS232 or RS485.
The configurability of the interfaces also allows the module to be operated on an RS485 data bus.
The address can be assigned either through software or hardware (3 DIP switches).
2.2. Available modules
The following models are available:
Model Description
ID ISC.LRM200-A For use with a basic antenna
ID ISC.LRM200-B For use with a basic/complementary antenna combination

3. Installation and wiring
The Reader Module is designed for installation on a heat sink. Mounting is accomplished using the
∅ 4.5 mm holes located in each corner of the base plate (see Fig. 3-1).
To fully exploit the performance of the Reader Module, the heat sink should have a thermal resis-
tance RThK of max. 0.8 K/W. When attaching the Reader Module to the heat sink you should strive
for a little heat transfer resistance between the base plate and the heat sink as possible. The use
of heat sink compound is recommended.
If the antenna is properly tuned and there is sufficient air convection along the mounting plate, the
ID ISC.LRM200 can be operated without an additional heat sink at up to 4W of power. Note here
however that detuning of the antenna can result in additional heating of the Reader. In such cases
the Reader regulates its output power down until the upper temperature limit of its final stage is
reached again.

3.2. Antenna connection
Two SMA sockets are provided on the lower circuit board for connecting the basic antenna or, in
the case of ID ISC.LRM200-B, the basic/complementary antenna combination. The maximum
tightening torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm.
Terminal Description
X1 For connecting the complementary antenna
(only ID ISC.LRM200-B)
X2 For connecting the basic antenna
(Input impedance 50Ω)
Notes:
• The input impedance of the basic antenna should be calibrated to a value of 50 Ω ± (3 Ω
∠ 3°).
• To achieve optimum read distances the length of the antenna lead-in cables should be
3.6 m ±0.1 m.
• When connecting an antenna, ensure that it does not exceed the limit values allowed by
the national regulations for radio emissions.

3.3. Supply voltage
The supply voltage of 24 VDC is connected on Terminal X3 on the lower circuit board.
The cable length between the power supply and the Reader Module must not exceed 3 m.
Note:
• Reversing the power supply wires may destroy the device.

Power supply recommendations :
To exploit the full performance of the Reader Module, you should select a sufficiently regulated
and noise-filtered power supply (ripple = max. 20 mV). When using switching power supplies be
sure that the internal switching frequency is below 300 kHz.

3.4. X7: Inputs (optocoupler isolated)
The optocoupler inputs on Terminal X7 are galvanically isolated from the Reader electronics and
must therefore be powered by a separate external DC supply. The input LED’s on the optocou-
plers have an internal input series resistor of 500 Ω. For supply voltages above 10V the input cur-
rent must be limited to max. 20 mA by an additional external dropping resistor (see Table 3.4-1).
Terminal Name Description
1 IN1+ + Input 1
2 IN1- - Input 1
3 IN2+ + Input 2
4 IN2- - Input 2
For cable lengths greater than 3 m use shielded cable.
Notes:
• The inputs are designed for a maximum input voltage of 24 V DC and an input current of
maximum 20 mA
• Reversing the polarity or overloading the inputs will destroy the unit
• The supply voltage of the Reader may not be used for driving the inputs, since the
added noise may result in reduced effective reading distances.

3.5. X6: Output (optocoupler isolated)
The transistor connections, collector and emitter, of the two optocoupler outputs are galvanically
isolated from the Reader electronics and brought out on Terminal X8 without any additional cir-
cuitry. The outputs must therefore be supplied externally.
Terminal Name Description
1O1-CCollector – Output 1
2 O1-E Emitter – Output 1
3 O2-C Collector – Output 2
4 O2-E Emitter – Output 2
For cable lengths greater than 3 m use shielded cable.
Notes:
• The outputs are configured for max. 24 V DC / 30 mA.
• Reversing the polarity or overloading the outputs will destroy the unit.
• The outputs are designed to switch resistive loads only.

5.2. Setting addresses for bus operation
For bus operation the Reader allows you to set the required bus address either using DIP switch
S2 or through the software.
a) Setting the bus address on S2 :
Addresses „0“ to „7“ can be set on S2.
To set the bus address using S2, the Reader must be set to software address „0“ (factory set-
ting).

b) Setting the bus address through software
Addresses are assigned through the host computer. The software is used to assign addresses “0”
to “253” to the Reader.
Note:
Since all Readers are factory set to Address 0, they must be connected and configured one
after the other.
