LR-series Installation Manual Doc no. 06-136 01 3.2 System Overview The two main elements of a TagMaster identification system are the Reader and the ID-tag. Peripheral elements are for example a host computer and other external devices, such as traffic lights and barriers. TM00102 Figure 3 System Overview The figure above shows the overview of a TagMaster identification system with a pole-mounted Reader, an ID-tag mounted on the inside of a car windscreen, a host computer, a power supply, and a barrier. 3.3 ID-tags An ID-tag is a device carrying ID information that can be read at a long distance using microwaves. The actual reading range depends on the type of the Reader, the ID-tag, settings of the Reader, and environmental conditions. Standard ID-tags have the shape of a credit card, but are slightly thicker. Each ID-tag has its own unique mark and it is possible to read many ID-tags concurrently. A lithium battery is used in the ID-tag to preserve stored data, get a high communication speed, and achieve a long reading range. There are two types of ID-tags called ScriptTags and MarkTags. ScriptTags can both be read from and written to, while MarkTags only can be read. The front side of the ID-tags must be oriented towards the front side of the Reader. For maximum communication range, the front surface of the ID-tag should be parallel with the front side of the Reader. If the ID-tag is misaligned relative to the front side of the Reader, the communication range is reduced. © TagMaster AB 9 (26)
LR-series Installation Manual Doc no. 06-136 01 3.4 Reader The LR-series Reader is a device for reading ID-tags using 2.45 GHz microwaves. In addition to reading, some Readers also have the capability to write information to ScriptTags (see separate data sheet for specific capabilities of the Reader). The Reader has built-in antennas for communication with ID-tags as well as various serial interfaces for communication with a host computer. 3.5 Environmental Considerations Microwave technology is a reliable solution for identification systems because microwaves are unaffected by the normal electromagnetic background noise found in industries and elsewhere. Note: To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is recommended that the reader is installed so that a separation distance of at least 20 cm or 8 inches from all persons is provided. 3.5.1 Electromagnetic Interference on the Microwave Link Industrial noise is typically present in the kHz and low MHz frequency band. The identification system is only receptive for frequencies closed to 2.45 GHz, so typical industrial noise will not affect the microwave communication. Transients from spot-welding equipment or from switching on other welding equipment, soldering machines, and fluorescent lamps may produce short pulses around 2.45 GHz. In these cases communication is ensured by the identification system by quickly re-transmitting the entire message and in most cases there is ample time for a successful reading. The system has been approved according to the IEC standards. Consult TagMaster if strong microwave fields from nearby microwave sources can be expected, such as microwave dryers, antennas, or radios. 3.5.2 Electromagnetic Interference in Cables By using specified cables, proper shielding, and grounding as well as selecting a suitable communication interface, optimum communication reliability is ensured. For more information about cable specification see section 4.1.2 Cables. 3.5.3 Lightning In order to fully protect the Reader from possible effects of lightning, additional surge protection on the inputs and outputs can be needed. 3.5.4 Temperature For most applications, normal convection cooling is sufficient for the Reader. But if heat is generated close to the Reader, the use of forced cooling or heat shields should be considered. © TagMaster AB 10 (26)

LR-series Installation Manual Doc no. 06-136 01 4 Installation This section describes the procedure of installing the Reader, that is mounting the Reader, installing the necessary cables, and performing an installation test. Read through this entire section before performing the installation. Microwaves penetrate wood, dirt, paint, plastic, and most other non-metallic materials. The TagMaster system employs circular polarisation and can therefore also often be used when metal surfaces are in the vicinity of the antenna and the ID-tag, especially if the ID-tag is moving. In such cases however, adjustment of the Reader and the ID-tag positions and distance may be necessary to find the best arrangement. 4.1 Preconditions The locations of Readers and ID-tags have been specified during the project planning phase, based on considerations of communication distances and movement speeds. The cable paths and cable types have been determined during the project planning phase. The power supply must comply with all relevant safety regulations. The equipment must be disconnected from all voltage sources before any installation or service work is carried out. Capacitors inside the equipment can hold their charge even if the equipment has been disconnected from all voltage sources. Caution! Damage may be the result if the equipment is switched on when parts are removed from the controller board, or if a PCB is removed within one minute after switching off the equipment. 4.1.1 Tools The following tools are necessary for installation: • Screwdriver, Torx T20 • Screwdriver, 2.5 mm flat-bladed • Short metal tube, diameter 16 mm • Hammer • Side cutter • Wire stripper • Crimping tool for ferrules 4.1.2 Cables Cables are not supplied with the LR-series. All cables must be shielded and suitable for the installation environment, for instance indoor or outdoor environment. Use flexible cables with stranded wire. © TagMaster AB 12 (26)
LR-series Installation Manual Doc no. 06-136 01 The terminal blocks used are Phoenix, type PT 1.5, which allow for a cable area of 0.2 to 1.5 mm² (AWG 26-14). Stranded wires must be fitted with a ferrule before being inserted in the termination blocks. The cable for the RS485 interface must be a twisted pair cable and conform to the EIA RS485 standard. A category 5 (CAT 5) cable is required for the Ethernet connection. 4.2 Mounting the Reader Mount the Reader in a horizontal position. In exceptional cases, the Reader can be mounted in a vertical position. Mount the Reader on a bracket and direct the front side of the Reader so that the reading lobe covers the positions of the ID-tags. The Reader identifies ID-tags within the reading lobe that expands in front of the Reader. For optimal performance, tilt and rotate the Reader into a position so that the front side of the Reader is parallel with the front surface of the ID-tag to be read. Align the Reader so that the actual reading range is 60–70% of the specified maximum reading range. TM00103==100%60 - 70% Figure 4 Reading lobe The LR-series Reader is prepared for mounting directly in a bracket on the back side of the Reader. The mounting holes enable the use of VESA 75 standard mounting brackets. © TagMaster AB 13 (26)
LR-series Installation Manual Doc no. 06-136 01 There are several M4 holes which can be used to fasten the reader onto the mounting bracket. The mounting holes are sealed at the base, so the fixing screw must not extend more than 8 mm into the reader. Note: Do not drill any additional holes in the enclosure, as that would affect the sealing specification.
