2.2 Block Diagram
Figure 1: iCLASS SE Reader Module Block Diagram
2.3 Theory of Operation
2.3.1 Power Modes
• Normal Power Mode (NPM) – The module is constantly powered on and polling for
cards. The module is never asleep in this mode. Use this mode with an external
power supply. The module is always ready to receive a command from the host.
• Ultra Low Power Mode (ULPM) – This power mode was designed for fixed
location battery powered applications (for example, door or cabinet lock). The
module is constantly monitoring the antenna for an impedance shift to detect a card
presented to the antenna. Once detecting an impedance shift on the HF antenna,
the module wakes up and polls for cards in the field. If a card is detected in the RF
field, the module reads the card data, pulses the Card Present line, outputs the card
data, and goes back to sleep within a configured period of time to conserve power.
Note: If developing a handheld unit, operate the iCLASS SE Reader Module in Normal
Power Mode and disable the power when not in use.

after autonomous output
2.3.2 Module – Transponder Interaction
• Autonomous Mode – The iCLASS SE Reader Module is intended to automatically
access and report the secure payload or the serial number (UID/CSN) of a
transponder. Thereby it acts on its protocols and applications configuration to
automatically report the payload on its Wiegand, UART and/or SPI ports.
Advanced Protocol Interface Mode (API) – The host communicates with the
transponder in the field through the iCLASS SE Reader Module’s serial protocol.
(UART or SPI is required)
Note: API calls are available in ULPM after the module outputs its autonomous data
(configuration dependant).

2.4 Peripheral Circuits
The following section details recommended peripheral circuitry.
2.4.1 External Pull-up Resistors
External pull-up resistors may be required on the UART Tx and MOSI lines to prevent floating
I/O anomalies.
2.4.2 External Noise Filter
If false card detections occur in Ultra Low Power mode, or the host has spectral noise, a line
filter designed to block frequencies in the 10 KHz to 50 KHz range is beneficial when inline
with the power line.
2.4.3 Adding External LEDs and Beeper
The Cathodes are connected through an external resistor to the RED or GREEN LED
connector port signals. The OEM supplies current limiting resistors for modules.
The value of these resistors depends on how much current is provided for the LEDs.
Consider the combined voltage drop of the resistor and OEM75 output low voltage on these
signal lines when selecting the LED brightness.
2.5 Transitioning from the OEM50, OEM75 and eProxL Modules
Provided are suggestions for transitioning from the HID OEM50 and eProx Lock modules to
the OEM75.
2.5.1 OEM50
If you are transitioning from an OEM50 – here are the differences.
• The OEM50 connector is a 2 X 6 0.1" space pin header or PWB hole pattern.
• The OEM50 has a two-wire interface to the antenna and the iCLASS SE
Reader has a 2-wire interface for NPM and a 5-wire interface for ULPM
applications. Therefore, it is possible that the OEM50 antenna will work with
the SIO Processor Board in NPM.
• The harness and signal changes to adapt the signals from the OEM50 2 X 6
pattern to an OEM75 1 x 9 1.25mm pattern are the following.
Note: The additional P2 for HSI and SPI interfaces are 1 x 8 1.25mm pattern.

(1996.10) specification, except Voh is 3.3VDC
max, and not 4.0 to 5.5 VDC
OEM50 is inverted logic
Pin 4 Wiegand Data0
Wiegand data output is per the SIA AC-01
(1996.10) specification, except Voh is 3.3VDC
max, and not 4.0 to 5.5 VDC
OEM50 is inverted logic
Pin 5
Power On Reset
Same as P701 pin 3 /Reset function
Pin 6
Hold
Similar to P701 pin 4, however /Hold is low active
2.5.2 OEM75
The SE32XX module I/O is directly pin-for-pin compatible with the OEM75.
The OEM75 antennas are incompatible with the SE32XX module.
ULPM average current remains the same while peak current is higher for the SE32XX
module.
2.5.3 eProx Lock Module
The eProx® Lock connector is the same as the SE32XX connector P701.
CAUTION: The connections between the SE32XX and the eProx Lock modules are
reversed.
A straight-thru cable will not work. Twist the cable 180 degrees to ensure that Pin 1 on one
module correctly mates with Pin 1 on the other module.
The two-wire 125 kHz antenna for the eProx Lock may not be interchangeable with an
SE32XX Prox antenna.

5.2 Current Draw
The following measurements were performed with a 50 Ohm load connected to the HF
interface. In the case a real antenna is connected to the iCLASS SE Reader Module’s power,
consumption changes depending on the presence of a transponder and its relative position to
the antenna. For that reason, find guidance for changing power consumption for particular
antennas in section 6 RF Interfaces.
The power consumption is independent of the supply voltage, as the iCLASS SE Reader
Module uses a linear regulation system.

6 RF Interfaces
Depending on the configuration, the iCLASS SE Reader Module offers up to two different RF
interfaces.
• HF interface for 13.56 MHz transponders
• Prox interface for 125 kHz transponders (SE32x0APx only)
6.1 HF Interface (13.56 MHz)
The HF interface is optimized for operation with 50Ω tuned antennas.
Figure 7: HF Interface
The impedance of 50Ω allows for integrated antennas, as well as remote antennas
connected through a coax cable. Use a coaxial connection whenever operating the module in
Normal Power Mode, if possible.

6.1.1 Ultra Low Power Mode
To allow for the ULPM, take additional measures at the antenna circuit. A transistor, as well
as two additional measurement lines, is introduced to enable the low power card detection
circuit on the iCLASS SE Reader Module.
Figure 10: Tuning Network with ULPM Support
For Transistor Q1, a ZXM61N02F type or similar is recommended.
Note: Only the HF interface is capable of detecting transponders in ULPM. However, Prox
transponders may be recognized by the HF interface. If supporting Prox credentials in the
ULPM, concentrically rearrange the Prox and HF antenna.
6.2 Prox Interface (125 kHz; SE32x0APx only)
The Prox interface is optimized for connection to the HID Prox antenna 6500-101-03. If this
antenna or one with equal electrical characteristics is used, no additional components are
required.
Figure 11: iCLASS SE Reader Module Prox Interface with Antenna
The onboard capacitor of 2nF and the external antenna coil build a serial resonator. Choose
approximately 125 kHz for the resonance frequency. An additional 33Ω resistor is used to
control the quality factor of the antenna.
If the used antenna has a different electrical characteristic than the HID 6500-101-03 Prox
antenna, external components may be necessary to adjust resonance frequency and quality
factor to the desired value.
The desired quality factor of the system is between 5 and 15 depending on antenna size.
HID provides additional documents, support and services for antenna design and support.
These documents may require service level agreements. Contact your sales manager for
more details.

7 Antennas
All antennas offered for the iCLASS SE Reader Module are optimized for a free air
environment. A free air environment is one in which there are no external effects on the field
produced by the antenna and which might degrade its performance (for example, metal or
stray capacitance).
When an air-tuned antenna is placed near metal, its tuning is affected causing a degradation
of read performance.
All air-tuned antennas are optimized for a 50mm interconnect cable length. Different cable
lengths may also lead to performance degradation and optimization may be required.
Environment deviations (from free air, as well as antenna interconnect cable length and
routing the HF antenna interconnect cable along metal) require performing antenna
optimization to ensure that the RF interface operates optimally within the integrated
environment. It is suggested that the antenna and antenna interconnect cable be integrated
into the end product to mirror a free air environment.
7.1 Basic Antenna Operation
Credentials obtain their power from the magnetic field generated by the antenna of the
reader. At the operating frequency of the reader, this interaction is similar to the operation of
an air core transformer. When an antenna is energized by an alternating current, the induced
magnetic field is directly proportional to the area enclosed by the antenna loop. The larger
the loop, the more excitation current is required to produce the same level of magnetic flux.
That flux covers a larger area and so the read range is extended. Other external factors
affect the magnitude of this induced magnetic field. Magnetic lines of flux when generated by
a loop antenna are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. This is known as the
right-hand rule, the magnetic field wraps around the wire in the direction of current flow.
7.1.1 Inductive Coupling
An inductively coupled transponder usually consists of a single chip and an attached coil,
which is used as an antenna.
Most inductively coupled transponders are passive, meaning that power is supplied by the
reader. To this end, the reader produces a magnetic field that the transponder uses for
power.
Figure 12: Inductive Coupling Principle
Mathematically, treat the coupling as a simple alternating magnetic field. The wavelength at
the frequencies of interest is much higher than the distance between the tag and reader (22.1
m at 13.56 MHz). Both antenna coils (transponder and reader) have a parallel capacitor,
creating a parallel resonant circuit. The capacitor is chosen to achieve a resonance frequency
near the working / carrier frequency of 13.56 MHz.
Interpret the arrangement of the two coils as a loosely coupled transformer, with a coupling
factor that varies with position and geometry.

agreement, please immediately return this document to HID Global Corporation, 15370 Barranca Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92618-3106.
7.1.2 Load Modulation
As previously mentioned, interpret the inductively coupled system as a transformer. Putting a
transponder (with a SRF around 13.56 MHz) into the magnetic field of a reader absorbs
energy from the field. This loading of the reader’s antenna, caused by the transponder, is
represented as transformed impedance at the antenna.
To communicate with the reader, the transponder switches an additional load resistor across
its own antenna. This results in a further impedance / voltage change at the reader’s antenna.
Therefore, the credential does not actually transmit.
Figure 14: Load Modulation Principle
7.2 Antenna Integration
Magnetic field antennas operate optimally within a free-air environment because the magnetic
field propagates perpendicularly with equal magnitude to the back and front of the antenna.
Antenna performance degradation due to Eddy Current loss begins at the point where a
metallic plate begins to enter the periphery of the magnetic flux lines of the magnetic field.
Note: Magnetic field losses due to Eddy Currents are not recoverable.
Magnetic field loss is extremely important. As loss increases, the available magnetic field to
power a credential and for the credential to load modulate is reduced, thus, affecting RF
performance of the system.
7.2.1 Steps to Integration
Due to antenna parasitic shift and eddy current losses, RF implementation should be fully
planned out prior to an industrial/mechanical design. This requires experimentation to be
completed including the proximity of metal obstructions in the proximity of the antenna
(including the LF antenna for HF+LF applications).
7.2.2 Antenna Interconnect Cable
The antenna interconnect cable is also designed to be routed in a free air environment.
Routing the antenna interconnect cable across metal structures shifts the antenna
characteristics and requires optimization.
7.2.3 Training and Assistance
HID Connect Applications Engineering staff will provide RF integration review and conceptual
training for integrators. In addition, HID provides antenna optimization and design services
through a Customer Product Opportunity Program.
7.3 4090A10 HF Antenna
Figure 15: 4090A10 HF Antenna
The 4090A10 HF antenna has an impedance of 50Ω and is optimized for operation with a
50mm ribbon cable. The antenna is tuned for a free air environment.

7.3.2 Typical Read Ranges with Standard Transponders
The following read ranges are for indication only. The read range of a transponder may vary
significantly depending on antenna size and quality factor. Table 17: 4090A10 HF Antenna
with Standard ID1 Transponders shows tested card self-resonance frequency to provide an
indication for the antenna design difference.
For these read range tests, the transponder serial number was read. No cryptographic

7.3.4 ULPM Card Detection Range
The card detection range in Ultra Low Power Mode depends on the loading effect the
transponder imposes on the iCLASS SE Reader Module’s antenna. That means that cards
with lower loading effect will generally have a shorter detection range.

Note: If the card detection range exceeds the actual read range, the reader may wake up but
not read the transponder successfully at this distance.
7.3.5 RF Properties
Provided is an overview on the RF properties of the 4090A10 HF antenna in combination with
the iCLASS SE Reader Module. The modulation waveforms were measured at a distance of
10mm. Parameters may vary per unit due to component tolerances. The compliance of the
modulation waveforms is essential to ensure the interoperability with various transponders in
the field.
All measurements were performed in accordance to the ISO/IEC10373-6 standard.
Note: The following graph shows that at distances smaller than 12mm, the detuning of the
Reference PICC used for the measurement causes the field strength to decrease. Observe
similar behavior with transponders that introduce a loading effect of similar magnitude.

7.3.6 Power Considerations
If a transponder is presented to the 4090A10 HF antenna, the impedance of the antenna is
bound to change. The magnitude of the impedance change depends on various factors like
Geometrical relationship between the antennas (coupling)
Impedance/power consumption of transponder
…
This leads to a change in power consumption of the reader. The following table provides an
overview on power consumptions recorded with different transponders.

8 Regulatory
8.1 RoHS
The SE32XX RoHS Declaration is located from the iCLASS SE Reader micro-site.
8.2 REACH
The SE32XX REACH Letter is located from the iCLASS SE Reader micro-site.
8.3 Safety
The following describes HID iCLASS SE Reader module regulatory guidelines.
• UL Recognition (Recognized Component) to UL294 for the USA and CSA
C22.2 No. 205 for Canada. The mark is cRUus where the R is backwards.
• OEM Final Product UL Listing
Because HID OEM Modules are cRUus recognized, UL treats them as a recognized
component and therefore must be evaluated by UL in the final product for UL Listing.
• Transient surge protection (transorbs) is not provided for the SE32XX module.
• The iCLASS SE Reader module is intended to be part of a reader. The reader
in which the iCLASS SE Reader module is used must translate the 3 VDC
module Voh signalling to 4 to 5.5 VDC Voh SIA AC-01 (1996.10) signalling
requirements.
The UL File for the iCLASS SE Reader Module is BP6568, Category Code ALVY2. View
from the public UL Directory at http://database.ul.com/cgi-
bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/index.htm.
8.4 Product Radio Certifications
The iCLASS SE Reader Module was tested under the FCC rules and Industry Canada rules
for a Modular Approval and therefore the following shall apply: (reference below FCC/IC ID)
• Provided that the Antenna, Antenna to module cable and tuning network have not
been changed in any way, the Final Product label may Contain the FCC ID.
Provided no other radio devices exist within the final assembly.
• The End User/Manufacturer, will not need to repeat the intentional emissions testing
(actual radio certification), however the un-intentional emissions testing will need to
meet the FCC and IC requirements with the module installed into the final assembly
or product. This also applies to CE Marking as defined by the R&TTE Directive.
• However, in many cases, the module may need to be retuned, due to the affects of
the product enclosure and assemblies within this enclosure, and the de-tuning affect
that this may have on the radio circuitry. In this case and if other radios exist, C2PC is required
• In the event that the HID OEM modules Kit is modified in any way, the radio
transmitter operating at either 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz and the module is integrated
into the OEM’s final product, Radio Certification is required for the final product.
• Obtain FCC Certification by submitting the final product to a Telecommunications
Certified Body (TCB) laboratory that performs the testing and issue the FCC Grant.
Standard: Part 15, Subpart C.
