Correct Usage
1. Do not install model V690-HMG01, model V690-D8KR01 and model V690-L01 in the following areas:
• Place exposed to the direct sunlight.
• Humid place where moisture condensation may occur.
• Place affected by vibration or impact.
2. Preliminary check of installation site.
This device uses the frequency band 2450 MHz for the communication between an antenna and tag. Some of radio equipment, such
as wireless LAN, cellular phone, personal handyphone system and transceiver, motor and switching power supply may generate a
radio wave (noise) which affects the communication with a tag. If you must use this device near such heater, we would like to ask
you to check the influence in advance.
To minimize general influence of noise, follow the instructions below:
• Ground any metallic material located around this device according to Class D (Class III).
• Wire this device keeping away from high voltage and heavy current.
3. Ambient environment and communication range
• The communication range varies depending on the installation site environment. This is because a metal material and the ground
reflect a radio wave, and water and human body absorb it. Locate an antenna and tag in the communication range and check the
radio wave environment in advance.
• The Read/Write antenna model V690-HMG01 has a communication test command to check the radio wave environment at a
working site. (Refer to Section 3-5.)
4. Be sure to ground any ground terminal according to Class D (conventional Class III). Otherwise, performance may deteriorate.
5. Cleaning of model V690-HMG01, model V690-D8KR01 and model V690-L01
• Do not use any thinner. Resin material and case paint are dissolved by thinner.

2. Possible trouble due to radio interference
• Communication failure in RFID system
The radio wave from an ID tag to antenna is weak and, therefore, the communication between the antenna and ID tag may fail due
to radio interference caused by any other devices. Keep sufficient space between the RFID system and any other devices. For the
space, refer to Section 7-6.
• ID tag battery power loss
An electronic circuit in the ID tag is started by a radio wave of other device and the battery power may be consumed considerably.
V690 has a tag power-saving function (refer to Section 3-7) to control the battery power. Nevertheless, the battery power may be
still consumed depending on a working environment. So, keep sufficient space between the ID tag and any other devices. For the
space, refer to Section 7-6.

Chapter 3 Functions
3-1 Single/FIFO/Multi Mode Access Function
You can use one of the three communication modes according to the number of tags in the communication area and the situation. The
communication mode can be specified in the communication designation in a command.
(1) Single mode
In the Single mode, the communication is made to one tag in the antenna communication area. In the Single mode, only one tag must be placed in the antenna communication area. If two or more tags are in the antenna communication area, a
communication error occurs.
(2) FIFO mode (First-In First-Out)
The FIFO mode enables to access the tags coming in the communication area
sequentially one by one. When the communication to one tag has been completed,
the tag is prohibited from communicating. So, even if there is any tag, which
ended the communication, in the antenna communication area, the communication
can be made to the next target tag. When the tag prohibited from communicating
has gone out of the antenna communication area, such tag can communicate again.
(3) Multi mode
When there are several tags in the antenna communication area, the Multi mode
enables to access all those tags. By using the Selective Access function, the communication can be made to a specified tag of those in the antenna communication
area.
Correct Usage
When you use the FIFO mode, only one tag must be placed in the antenna communication area. If two or more tags are
in the antenna communication area, a communication error occurs. Then, the communication cannot be recovered from
failure unless only one tag is in the antenna communication area.
3-1
3-2 Communication 2 m Mode/5 m Mode Switching
The communication 2 m mode and 5 m mode can be switched to each other by a command from a host device. Use either one depending on a working site.
For the command, refer to Sections 5-9-2 and 5-9-3. The default value is the 2 m mode.
For the communication area of 2 m mode and 5 m mode, refer to Section 7-1.
3-2
3-3 Radio Wave Channel Switching
In this RFID system, a range from 2437.5 to 2462.5 MHz in the 2450 MHz frequency band can be divided into ten, and 10 channels (at
2.5-MHz intervals) are available. Those channels can be switched by a command from a host device. Use them to prevent the mutual
interference between antennas or interference caused by any other devices.
For the command, refer to Sections 5-9-2 and 5-9-3. The default value is Channel 5 (2450 MHz).
Channel
2450 MHz frequency band
Correct Usage
Due to dispersion of frequency, the frequencies of adjacent channels may overlap each other. Do not assign consecutive numbers to the channels of adjacent antennas.

3-7 ID Tag Power-Saving Function
The tag has the two power-saving functions below.
♦ Function to prevent battery power loss due to radio wave emitted from any other radio
equipment (Enabled always)
If any radio equipment is located near a tag, the tag operates (ready to operate) because the tag’s receiving band is wide. As a result, the
tag battery may be consumed. (Refer to "Notes on Interference to Second-Generation Low-Power Data Communication System (Wireless LAN), Cellular Phone, etc." at the beginning of this manual.)
To prevent this power loss, the tag has a function to enter a sleep state (refer to "Appendix 1 - Glossary") against a radio wave emitted
from any other radio equipment.
• The V690 antenna sends a wake instruction (refer to "Appendix 1 - Glossary") at every 100 msec after emitting a radio wave and the
tag operates (ready to operate).
• When the tag receives a radio wave emitted from any other radio equipment, the tag may operate (ready to operate). However, unless
receiving a valid wake instruction, the tag returns to a sleep state in 2 seconds.

3-7 ID Tag Power-Saving Function
♦ Function to prevent battery power loss due to neglect when tag works (Enabled always)
When you use the antenna with a repeat command (refer to (3) in Section 5-2-1), due to a trouble in a working site, the tag may be left
in front of the antenna which is emitting a radio wave, although the tag operates (ready to operate). Then, the tag battery is consumed.
To prevent this power loss, the tag has a function to enter a sleep state when a waiting time for sleep (refer to a chart below) has passed.
If the tag cannot receive a valid command within a waiting time for sleep after receiving a valid command, the tag enters a sleep state.
A default value of waiting time for sleep is 480 seconds (8 minutes). To change waiting time, specify "SLEP" as address in the Read/
Write command. (Refer to Sections 5-7-1 and 5-7-3 to 5-7-5.)
To recover the tag from the sleep state:
• Turn OFF the power supply transmission of the antenna and turn ON it again.
• Take the tag out of the communication area and place it in the communication area again.

(2) Antennas
Keep sufficient space between the antennas according to Section 7-5. If sufficient space cannot be obtained:
• Assign the most different channel numbers to the radio channels of adjacent antennas. (Refer to Section 3-3.)
• Permit only one of antennas to transmit a radio wave so that those antennas do not transmit radio waves simultaneously.
(3) Tag rotating position to antenna
The antenna and tag use "circularly polarized wave" as radio wave to communicate with each other. So, the tag can communicate with
the antenna at any rotating angle.
The maximum communication range varies depending on the rotating angle of the tag. Refer to Section 7-3.
• Conceptual diagram of circularly polarized wave
The arrows show the directions of vibrating surface. The radio wave propagates while the vibrating surface is rotating.

(4) Influence of external objects
• Radio wave absorbers: water, human body, water screen, water-absorptive material, etc.
A radio wave (microwave) penetrates anything (solid body and liquid) other than metal, but it is attenuated while penetrating. In particular, water absorbs a radio wave extremely. When a radio wave penetrates the water, the radio wave is absorbed considerably. Also, the
radio wave is attenuated remarkably in a human body which contains much water. So, any solid body and liquid must not exist between
the antenna and tag.
A general-purpose plastic plate with thickness of or glass plate a few millimeters does not absorb the radio wave, and the radio wave
attenuation is not a serious problem in this case. However, the radio wave attenuation varies depending on a type of material and/or
thickness of external objects which the radio wave penetrates. Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance.
When the communication is performed through the plastic plate or glass plate which absorbs the radio wave so much, such plastic plate
or glass plate may be covered with water due to rain. The radio wave may be attenuated by this water screen and the communication
may fail. Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance and take great care not to get out of the communication
range during an operation.
Dry wood and paper do not attenuate the radio wave so much. However, wood and paper absorb water easily. The wet wood and paper
may attenuate the radio wave considerably. Execute the communication experiment in a working site in advance using both of dry
materials and wet ones.
A part of radio wave

• Radio wave reflectors: metal, ground, etc.
Metal reflects a radio wave (microwave) like a mirror reflects light. If there is a metal near an antenna communication area, the communication area is affected by the metal. If a metal is put between an antenna and tag, the communication between the antenna and tag may
fail. Metal, whether metal plate or wire netting, may affect the communication. Also, the ground affects the communication like metal.
As shown below, a radio wave absorber or reflector can be used to interrupt a radio wave. When you interrupt the radio wave, execute
the communication experiment in a working site in advance.

4-1 Read/Write Antenna and ID Tag
• Communication area affected by the ground
If an antenna is installed near the ground, radio waves (microwave) emitted from the antenna and ones reflected by the ground overlap
each other. Therefore, an outline of the communication area becomes ragged and complex. In this case, dead zones may be formed frequently, where no communication can be made to the tag.

(5) Installation environment
Do not install the antenna and tag at any place below:
• Place where the ambient temperature is out of the range between -20 and +60°C for the antenna and -25 and +70°C for the tag, where
the temperature fluctuates considerably and where moisture condensation occurs frequently.
• Place where the relative humidity is out of the range between 35 and 85%RH.
• Place where there is corrosive gas, flammable gas, dust, salt or iron powder.
• Place affected by vibration or impact.
• Place splashed with water, oil or chemicals
4-1-2 How to Install Antenna

4-1-3 Rainproofing of Antenna
The antenna is not waterproof structure. So, do not install the antenna.
If you must install the antenna outdoors, protect the antenna against rain with a plastic rainproof box. To prevent the water droplet coming in the antenna through a cable, be sure to turn the antenna cable section downward.
Example of plastic rainproof box: Model WB-5AJ (Outside dimensions: 571 (H) x 412 (W) x 210 (D) mm, Mirai Industry)
Gap between the antenna surface and window plate is 10 to 20 mm.
Example of protection box
Cover the window with an
acrylic plate, etc. 3 mm in
thickness which a radio wave
can penetrate easily.
Size enough to cover
the entire antenna
including a connector.
If the box is metallic, make
a window on the box. The
window size shall be the
same as the antenna.
Drill a large hole for ventilation
and drainage.
Clamp it to prevent the connector

4-1-4 How to Install Tag
♦ Installation
Install a tag on a flat plane taking care not to bend it by force. As shown below, mount the antenna with two M4 screws, spring washers
and flat washers. Tightening torque is 1.2 N•m (approximately 12 kgf•cm). Do not use any lock paint to fix screws.

Flat washer
(Unit: mm)
♦ Influence on communication performance, adhesive, metal tape, water screen, etc.
• When you apply adhesive, etc. on the tag surface, a radio wave (microwave) is attenuated and the communication area may be
affected. Execute the communication experiment with anything used actually in advance.
• If a metallic tape, etc. is put on the tag surface, a radio wave is interrupted and the communication to the antenna fails.
• If the tag is put on a glass plate with double-sided adhesive tape as shown below, a gap between the glass plate and tag sweats easily.
Moreover, a water screen may be generated. In this case, please note that a radio wave is absorbed and the communication range
may become small.

(2) Single Auto
An antenna waits until a tag approaches the communication area and then communicates with the tag.
To terminate Single Auto:
• When an auto repeat cancel command (C2) is issued, the antenna discontinues Single Auto and becomes ready to accept a command.
• When any other command is issued, the antenna discontinues Single Auto and executes the new command. If the command format
is wrong, the antenna returns the format error response 14 and discontinues Single Auto.
• If a waiting time for tag (refer to Section 5-9-4) is set, when the waiting time for tag has been passed, the antenna returns the no-tag
error response 72 and discontinues Single Auto.
When a command is executed, the tag is in a sleep mode or standby mode.
• Sleep mode (Communication designation SU or SN)
The tag battery power can be saved in the sleep mode. The tag cannot be started in 0.2 seconds immediately after sleep.

When an antenna receives a command from a host device, the antenna waits for tag approaching, communicates with the tag whenever
the tag passes the antenna communication area, and returns a response to the host device.
After the command is executed, by specifying the sleep state (S!) as the communication designation, FIFO (First-In First-Out. Refer to
Section 3-1) is enabled.
To terminate repeat state:
• When an auto repeat cancel command (C2) is issued, the antenna discontinues Repeat and becomes ready to accept a command.
• When any other command is issued, the antenna discontinues Repeat and executes the new command. If the command format is
wrong, the antenna returns the format error response 14 and discontinues Repeat.
If a waiting time for tag (refer to Section 5-9-4) is set, when the waiting time for tag has been passed, the antenna returns the no-tag error

5-2 Communication Operation Sequence
5-2-2 Communication Mode with Communication Designation
(1) Polling
When one host device controls several antennas, if a normal auto command is used, a response is returned when the tag communication
has completed. In this case, several antennas return a response. For polling, the antenna returns the response at the request of the host
device. So, some responses are not returned simultaneously and several antennas can be controlled.
To terminate polling:
• When an auto repeat cancel command (C2) is issued, the antenna discontinues Polling Auto/Polling Repeat and becomes ready to
accept a command.
• When any other command is issued, the antenna discontinues a polling mode and executes the new command. If the command format is wrong, the antenna returns the format error response 14 and discontinues Polling Auto/Polling Repeat.
• If a waiting time for tag (refer to Section 5-9-4) is set, when the waiting time for tag has been passed, the antenna returns the no-tag
error response 72 and discontinues Polling Auto. For Polling Auto, the antenna returns an error response and continues Polling
Repeat.
When a command is executed, the tag is in a sleep mode or standby mode according to the communication designation (C!, R!).

5-2 Communication Operation Sequence
(2) Multi
The communication to all the tags in the antenna communication area can be made. Multi Trigger and Multi Repeat commands are
available:
In Multi Trigger, the antenna communicates with all the tags in the communication area when it receives a command. When the process
has completed, the antenna returns the communication end response (termination code 72).
In Multi Repeat, the antenna waits for a tag when it receives a command. The antenna continues to communicate with all the tags coming in the communication area.
To terminate Multi Repeat:
• When an auto repeat cancel command (C2) is issued, the antenna discontinues Multi Repeat and becomes ready to accept a command.
• When any other command is issued, the antenna discontinues Multi Repeat and executes the new command. If the command format
is wrong, the antenna returns the format error response 14 and discontinues Multi Repeat.
If a waiting time for tag (refer to Section 5-9-4) is set, when the waiting time for tag has been passed, the antenna returns the no-tag error
response 72 and continues Multi Repeat.
When a command is executed, the tag is in a sleep mode according to the communication designation (S!).

Refer to Sections, 5-7-3, 5-7-5 and 5-7-7.
Uses an ID code and executes a command to a designated tag.
(2) Radio Wave Transmission ON mode
Usually, an antenna transmits a radio wave after receiving a command from a host device. When the Radio Wave Transmission ON
mode of antenna is enabled, regardless of any command from a host device, the antenna transmits a radio wave always. In the Radio
Wave Transmission ON mode, an application that the ID tag moves fast may be available.
Executes Radio Wave Transmission ON (A1)
Refer to Section 5-9-1.
Executes Read/Write
Mode
Initial value
How to change mode
The antenna does not transmits a radio wave when
it waits for a command. When the antenna accepts
a communication command, the antenna transmits
a radio wave and communicate with a tag. When
the communication has ended, the antenna stops
transmitting a radio wave.

5-3 Communication Response Format
(1) Command
A text section of command consists of a command and option section which specifies information. The antenna receives a range from
STX receiving to ETX correctly and, only when the antenna station No. and DA match, executes a command. After receiving STX,
when the antenna receives STX again by the time the antenna receives ETX, the second STX shall be the beginning of the command.
You can specify whether BCC is enabled or disabled. By default, BCC is disabled. How to specify whether BCC is enabled or disabled,
refer to Section 5-9-7.

After an antenna writes data into a tag, the antenna reads the data from the tag
and check whether the data is correct. If the data is not correct, the termination
code becomes 71. Writing is reliable, but the communication time with verification
read is twice the length of that without verification read.
Without verification read

(3) How to calculate maximum movement speed of tag
The maximum movement speed of tag moving at the front of antenna is calculated as follows:
Travel
Tag
Travel in communication area
Maximum movement speed =
Communication time
Antenna
Example of calculation (1)
Calculate the movable speed of tag, based on the distance 1 m between the antenna and tag and 32-byte read.
If the distance is 2 m in the communication range 2m mode, the area width is 0.8 m.
The communication time of 32-byte read is 12 ms.
Maximum movement speed =
0.8 m
0.8 m
= 4 km per minute (= 240 km per hour)
12 ms
0.012 x 1 / 60 (minutes)
Example of calculation (2)
Calculate the movable speed of tag, based on the distance 4 m between the antenna and tag and 256-byte read.
If the distance is 4 m in the communication range 5 m mode, the area width is 1.5 m.
The communication time of 256-byte read is 19 ms.
Maximum movement speed =
1.5 m
1.5 m
= 4.7 km per minute (= 280 km per hour)
19 ms
0.019 x 1 / 60 (minutes)
Correct Usage
The tag movement time above is a value of the best example. In an actual operation, taking into consideration peripheral objects and radio wave environment at the working site, design a system that a margin was removed from the calculated value and execute a test in the working site.

7-7 Influence of Tag Installation Angle (Reference)
• The maximum communication range can be achieved when the antenna face and tag face are in parallel with each other. If the
antenna and/or tag are inclined, the communication range becomes small. Install the tag paying attention to the tag angle.
• For the tag rotating angle 0 degrees and 90 degrees, deterioration characteristic of communication range depending on the tag angle
is shown below.
• Because of antenna position in the tag, communication range deterioration varies depending on the installation angle (whether "+" or
"-").

issued in 1992 and revised in July 2000 into Version 3.0
ASCII
American Standard Code for the Information Interchange. American standard character code. This is almost the same as JIS 7 unit
code for alphanumerical character, except that "¥" in JIS code is "\" in ASCII code.
AWG
Shows a wire size. As the AWG number becomes small, the wire size becomes large. For the cable of this product, cross-sectional
area of AWG22 is approximately 0.45 mm2 and that of AWG26 is approximately 0.18 mm2.
Circularly polarized wave
A wave that direction of electrical field (or magnetic field) is one way and not affected by time and place is referred to as "Linearly
polarized wave". On the other hand, a wave that direction of electrical field varies depending on time and place, i.e., the electrical
field rotates in the radio wave transmitting direction, is referred to as "Elliptically polarized wave". Among the elliptically polarized
waves, a wave that amplitude is constant is the circularly polarized wave.
Command
In this manual, this refers to an instruction from a host device to the Read/Write antenna.
Communication
In this manual, this refers to data communication between a host device and Read/Write antenna. Data communication between an
ID tag and Read/Write antenna is referred to as data exchange.
Data exchange
In this manual, this refers to data communication between an ID tag and Read/Write antenna.
Grounding Class D
Grounding method that grounding resistance is 100 Ω or less. This was formerly referred to "Grounding Class III".
Half-duplex communication
Although this is two-way data transmission, transmission can be performed only in one way at a time. In the full-duplex communication, the data transmission can be done in two ways simultaneously.
HEX
Hexadecimal number. A method to express a numerical value. The hexadecimal numbering system has a base of 16. The numbers
0 to 9 and characters A to F are used. The characters A to F correspond to the decimal numbers 10 to 15.
Host device
A device, such as PC, programmable controller (PLC), etc., to issue a command to the Read/Write antenna.
JIS8
Character code of JIS. There are 8 unit code (8 bits) and 7 unit code (7 bits). JIS8 unit code is for both of alphanumerical character
and Japanese Kana character.
m/s2
Unit of acceleration based on SI (International System of Units). The old unit is "G". 1G = 9.807 m/s2.
Microwave
This product uses 2450 MHz which is recognized as IMS band (for industrial, medical and scientific purpose) in the world.
N•m
Unit of torque based on SI (International System of Units). N is Newton. The old unit is "kgf•m". 1 kgf•m = 9.807 N•m.
Appendix-1
Appendix 1 Glossary
Response
In this manual, this refers to a response returned by the Read/Write antenna after a host device issued an instruction to the Read/Write
antenna.
RFID
Radio Frequency Identification, i.e., automatic identification with radio system. Data about object is stored in the ID tag memory
and the data is read/written by a reader/writer without contacting.
RS-232C
Common physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association). Communication speed 9600 bps can be achieved
in communication range 15 m.
RS-422A
Common physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association). RS-422A is more excellent in noise resistance
than RS-232C and a maximum of 3000 m of communication range is available. Communication is performed through four wires.
Two wires are for sending and the others are for receiving.
RS-485
Common physical interface standard of EIA (Electronics Industries Association). The same line is used for both of sending and
receiving. So, communications can be made through two wires.
Second-generation low-power data communication system
Remarkably applicable wireless LAN which was legislated in 1999. A wide range of frequency band 2400 to 2483.5 MHz can be
used by the SS (Spread Spectrum) system and multiple channels are available. ARIB RCR STD-33 (1999) is the Standard.
Sleep, sleep state
The state that any communication to the Read/Write antenna is not performed. In this state, battery power is used only to back up
data in SRAM and the power consumption is 1/100 or less of the state that the ID tag operates or communicates. Therefore, to
extend the life of the battery of ID tag, we recommend you to put the ID tag in the sleep state whenever the ID tag does not work.
When the ID tag receives a radio wave from the Read/Write antenna, the ID tag quits the sleep state and works.
Specified low-power radio station
A radio station that the antenna power is 10 mW or less. A user is not required to apply a license for radio station. This product is
verified by Technical Regulation Conformity Certification of an official organization before shipment.
SRAM
Static RAM (Random Access Memory). Volatile memory. Data is backed up by battery.
Standby, standby state
The state that all the circuits in a tag are ready to operate after a command is executed. The battery power consumption is the same
as that at an operation such as communication. As a period of the standby state becomes short, the life of the battery can be extended.
Start-stop synchronization
Asynchronous data communication system which does not use synchronizing clock. Communication line is only one. Use it when
synchronizing clock cannot be sent.
Tag
In this manual, this refers to ID tag which is memory media accessed by the Read/Write antenna of the RFID system. As accurate
technical term, this is referred to as "Transponder". We call it "Tag" because "Transponder" is hard to say.
Terminating resistance
Put at both ends of communication line to prevent reflection in the communication line in RS-422A/RS-485.
Time slot
One of the systems that the Read/Write antenna accesses several ID tags. This system adopts the time slot. For example, if "M" (the
number of time slots = 16) is specified in the data exchange designation of a command, the antenna informs the ID tag that there are
16 time slots and every ID tag returns a response according to timing of any of 16 time slots. If responses of several ID tags collide
with each other, the time slots for those tags are rearranged. For "M", if the number of tags are approximately 8, probability of rearrangement is reduced and the total data exchange time is not prolonged so much.
Appendix-2
Appendix 1 Glossary
Wake instruction
A command for identification transmitted at every 100 msec when the Read/Write antenna transmitted a radio wave. The ID tag only
can identify it. When the ID tag receives the wake instruction, the ID tag continues an operation. If the ID tag cannot receive the
wake command, the ID tag enters the sleep state. The ID tag power-saving function described in Section 3-7 is achieved by utilizing
this function.
