2 INTRODUCTION
The BDR-1000 is a device (aka transceiver) that reads and writes Bistatix Tags. It operates
in both DiPole and MonoPole modes and it is intended for indoor use only.
The hardware supports either RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial communication interfaces
and has provisions for an external antenna (future option). A standard female DB-9 connector
is provided for the RS-232 and two standard RJ-45 connectors are provided for RS-485/422
(one input, one output).
The transceiver includes a power switch, a visual status indicator and an audible indicator. In
addition, the package is supplied with an international power supply, a U.S. power cord, a
European power cord and a RS-232 serial cable.
The BDR-1000 can read tag data continuously, read tag data on command and program tag
data on command.
2.1 Theory of Operation
BiStatix is a non-resonant Capacitive or Electric field RFID technology. Passive RFID
tags derive their power and clock signals externally, from the excitation field of a nearby
transceiver, such as the BDR-1000. The tags respond with their data. The exciter can
be modulated to write data to a tag. BiStatix transceivers operate in DiPole or
MonoPole mode.
The DiPole mode is typically used where the tags are positioned in free space, not
coupled to a ground reference. It is also used in environments where tag orientation is
controlled or where very small tags are required. The BDR-1000 essentially operates in
DiPole mode when a tag is placed on the surface of the reader (hands free).
The MonoPole mode is the most common, offering greater flexibility (e.g. orientation
independence) and the best overall performance. It is typically used where a ground
reference is accessible (e.g. when a tag is coupled to a person, a conveyor, a cart, or
any other conductive object, referenced to ground). Here, one of the two tag electrodes
is preferentially coupled to the transceiver and the second electrode is preferentially
coupled to a ground reference.

GROUNDING:
BiStatix technology requires that the power supply ground for proper operation. Efforts
must be made to insure that the AC source provides an adequate ground to insure that
exciter current has a return path. If a grounded A.C. receptacle is not available, use a
3-to-2 prong adaptor and connect the ground lug to an earth ground. Failure to do so
can result in erroneous host communication and poor transceiver performance. This
should be the first item of investigation if a unit’s performance is suspect.

Figure 2
BDR-1000 Label
As depicted above, there are three distinct antenna zones on the BDR-1000. The
largest section, to the left, is the Excitation Zone. This excitation antenna provides
power, clock and command signals to the tag.
The “faded” section to the right of the Excitation Zone is the Interposer Zone. It
guides proper positioning of tags for the DiPole mode of operation. This zone
establishes the position where the interposer must be located when a tag is placed
on the transceiver.
On the rightmost side is the Ground Zone. In the DiPole mode it provides a ground
reference path for the tags, which are placed directly on the transceiver (i.e. hands
free).
In DiPole mode the tag’s interposer must be positioned in the Interposer Zone with
one electrode preferentially coupled to the exciter zone and the other to the Ground
Zone. The tag size illustrated above conveniently positions itself properly when
registered to the lower right corner. Larger tags may require that right edge of the tag
hang over the edge of the BDR – 1000 to properly position the device over the
Interposer Zone.
In MonoPole mode one antenna of the tag should be presented to the Excitation
Zone. The other should be grasped by the presenter.

3.1 Setup
Figure 4 Hookup Diagram
•
•
•
Figure 4 shows a typical installation of the BDR-1000.
As shown the only connections to the BDR-1000 are the DC input from the power supply
and a serial communication cable (either RS-232, RS0422 or RS-485) from the host.
These connections are made at the enclosure rear panel. See BDR-1000 Rear Panel,
Figure 3 for a view of the rear panel.
Because this technology is based on radio frequency signals nearby environmental
sources of electrical interference may affect the performance of the equipment. Below is
a list of precautions that should be considered when installing the equipment.
1. Keep the computer and monitor at least 1 meter away from the BDR-1000
enclosure.
2. Insure cable exiting from the rear panel is perpendicular to the rear edge of the
enclosure.
3. Insure that a non-metal table is used.
4. Metal affects radio signals. Keep any metallic objects clear (at least 1meter
away) of the enclosure.
5. Nearby external sources of electrical interference, such as sources of RF signal
transmitters (portable two-way radio, cellular phones, etc.) and/or nearby EMI
noise producers may contribute to disturbing the electrical environment of the
reader. Depending upon the external noise signal strength of the nearby
transmitter, the performance may be reduced or the tag signal may be masked
by the external signal, resulting in a non-operation.

6. Maintain all equipment wiring a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) away
from other wiring such as AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring or
wiring to electric locking devices, etc.
7. Do not install the equipment in areas where sources of broad spectrum EMI
noise may be present. Examples of EMI broad spectrum noise producers are
motors, pumps, generators, AC-DC converters, un-interruptible power supplies,
AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer monitors, and CRTs.
8. WARNING: Opening the sealed enclosure can expose you to high voltages. No
user serviceable parts inside.

3.3 Grounding Requirements
BiStatix Technology requires a RF ground when used in the MonoPole Mode to provide
a return path for the exciter current. The power supply that is used to operate the BDR1000 will provide this path as long as the required local ground is connected at the AC
source.
This ground can be either an earth ground or a local ground as required for the
particular application. In any event the ground connection should be made as shown
below.
Ensure that the ground of the
three terminal power cord is
connected to Earth ground.
If a three terminal receptacle is not available, a
three terminal to two terminal adapter may be used.
It is important that the ground lug on the
adapter is connected to Earth ground.

OPERATION
4.1 Reader Operation
An on/off switch is provided on the rear panel to apply power to the BDR-1000. At power
TM
up the BDR-1000 will perform a “Beepflash ” and then place the LED in a “Solid Green”
state. At this time the BDR-1000 will read a properly programmed tag if it is presented.
The power up sequence also configures it to communicate with a host controller via
RS232 (see communication interfaces Section1).
Figure 5 below demonstrates a monopole tag presentation (preferred method of reading
tags for the BDR-1000). Upon reading the tag an audible (beeper)and visual (LED Flash)
feedback is provided to verify that the tag has been read (see section 4.3 for details).
Figure 7 BiStatix Read Mode Monopole Tag Presentation
4.2 Programmer Operation
Commands from the Host Computer can configure the BDR-1000 to act as a Tag
Programmer and allow it to program tags or cards. Complete documentation and
Application Software for this mode is provided with either the BDK-1000 or the SDK1000. Refer to the installation manual provided on the CD that accompanies these
products for information. Figure 8 below demonstrates a DiPole tag presentation
(preferred method for the BDR-1000) to program the contents of a tag. Both audible and
visual indicators provide feedback to the user when the tag has been programmed and
confirmed (see section 4.3 for details).
This diagram will show a typical Program Mode presentation in
the Di-Pole configuration. The tag will be placed upon the BDR1000 label in the correct position.

6 BDR1000 to BXR610 Compatibility
WARNING: Two different BiStatix RFID applications exist at this time. One is for Access Control
Applications and the other is for Industrial Applications. The BDR1000 is an Industrial BiStatix
RFID system. It utilizes a firmware package called Fiji which is different from the one used in
Access Control systems. The BXR610 is also BiStatix RFID system but the intent of this
application is for Access Control. The BXR610 uses an ACP tag for operation and will not
function properly with a Fiji tag. In the same manner the BDR1000 uses a Fiji tag for operation
and will not function properly with an ACP tag.
In either case when the incorrect tag is presented to these product the hardware will still perform
TM
a Beepflash to acknowledge reading but the tag data will be misinterpreted and transmitted
incorrectly. The follow is an outline of the compatibility of the two systems.
Reading Tags
1. If presenting a ACP tag to a BDR1000 the output will be the UID field only.
2. If presenting a Fiji tag to a BXR610 the output is undefined at this time.
Programming Tags
1. If writing to an ACP tag with a BDR100 the tag will become a Fiji tag and will no
longer function with access control technology.
