Trade marks Windows, Windows NT and other names of Microsoft products which are mentioned in this manual are trade marks or registered trade marks of the Microsoft Corporation. Other trade marks and product names mentioned in this manual are trade marks belonging to their legal owners and are hereby acknowledged as such. 1.2. System requirements for operating the Key Reader To install and start the Key Reader software, your system must meet the following minimum requirements: • Pentium (at least 100 MHz) or higher processor • Windows XP (32Bit or 64Bit), Windows Vista (32Bit or 64Bit), Windows 7 (32Bit or 64Bit) • Installed Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (32 Bit Version) • 9 MB free storage space • A free serial or USB interface • CD-ROM Disc Drive 1.3. Unpacking the Key Reader Please check the packaging for possible damage during transport. If the packaging is badly damaged, you should not install the device. In this case please refer to your Service Partner. 1.4. Scope of supply • Key Reader with standard USB connection cable • Installations-CD with the operating instructions as a PDF file Figure 1: scope of supply
Huf Tools Automation · Prüftechnik · Formenbau · Kunststofftechnik · RFID Systeme · Lasertechnik Page 5 of 24 2. Operation The device reads data from car keys of different types via its IR Interface. An inductive field (125kHz) generated by the device supplies the car keys with energy. Communication between the Key Reader and the car keys is realized by using infrared (890nm) LEDs. The Key Reader has an USB connection and will be supplied from the USB port. After connecting the SLS to the computer it will be recognized automatically by Windows. A message is displayed on the screen and the driver installation starts. After successful installation, the Key Reader is ready for operation. The device status is indicated by the upper LED: Description Upper LED SLS-Status SLS not working off SLS in working condition but no communication to PC yellow SLS in working condition communication to PC running green SLS malfunction of memory flashing red Firmware Download in progress blue The device scans automatically for a valid car key. The inductive field is switched on and off periodically. If a valid key is inserted, the key will be supplied with energy from the inductive field and sends an infrared message to the Key Reader. After receiving the message from the key, the device will identify the key as valid and the data transfer starts automatically. Now Key Reader sends an infrared message to the key to request the data. The key then answers with the requested data by sending an infrared message back to the device. The received data will be stored in a memory of the Key Reader. The data transfer between car key and Key Reader is indicated by the lower LED: Description Lower LED Car Key Communication Status SLS reading data flashing blue Data transfer complete blue Error while reading data red Car Key contains no data flashing red The key data is stored in the memory of the Key Reader. A special software on the computer collects the data via USB.

Installing the SLS.dll The SLS.DLL represents the application interface (API) between an application program and the SLS. It must be stored on the target system to enable the functions for different applications. The installation location could be different and depends on the operating system. Furthermore it is important, that the java runtime environment 1.6 is installed as 32Bit Version for every operation system, because the SLS.dll is a 32 Bit API and doesn’t work with a 64Bit java runtime environment. 3.4.1. 32Bit Windows Operating System The SLS.DLL has to be copied to the windows subdirectory System32. 3.4.2. 64Bit Windows Operating System The SLS.SLL has to be copied to the windows subdirectory SysWOW64.
Huf Tools Automation · Prüftechnik · Formenbau · Kunststofftechnik · RFID Systeme · Lasertechnik Page 23 of 24 4. Flashing of the Firmware The firmware of the Key Reader can be updated with a standalone windows application (FlashTool). To change the firmware, all applications that use the Key Reader have to be closed. It is possible to download any version of the firmware to the SLS. So it is possible to downgrade the SLS. It is not possible to back up the current firmware of the SLS. Now the FlashTool to update the firmware could be started. The place, where the FlashTool is started, is irrelevant. No more files are needed. Figure 36: Windows application to download the new firmware The button “Start Download” starts the download of the firmware. During the download the upper LED of the SLS illuminates blue. After a successful download the SLS will restart and the new firmware is active. Figure 37: Completing the download Close the download application and the Key Reader could be used from any other application again. If the download was not successfully finished and the Key Reader doesn’t works correctly, try to download again the firmware.
