1 Microreader Overview
The microreader evaluation board (RI-STU-MRD2) is a complete USB-based reader module providing the
hardware and software to communicate with TI's low-frequency (LF), half-duplex (HDX), and advanced
transponders for programming and tuning after the production phase.
The USB reader-writer stick contains the RI-STU-MRD2 DIL module, which is mounted on an antenna
base board with a USB connector. The RI-STU-MRD2 is backward compatible with the RS232 based RI-
STU-MRD1 reader module.

General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation Module (TI HV EVM) User Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Always follow TI's set-up and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their recommended electrical rated
voltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help ensure your personal safety and the safety of those working
around you. Contact TI's Product Information Center http://support.ti.com for further information.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury, property damage, or death due to electrical shock and
burn hazards.
The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open framed, unenclosed printed circuit board assembly. It is
intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments, solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise and
knowledge of electrical safety risks in development and application of high voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application are
strictly prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitable qualified, you should immediately stop further use of the TI HV EVM.
1. Work Area Safety:
(a) Keep work area clean and orderly.
(b) Qualified observer(s) must be present any time circuits are energized.
(c) Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface electronics are energized,
indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the purpose of protecting inadvertent access.
(d) All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes, and other related apparatus used in a
development environment exceeding 50Vrms/75VDC must be electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off
(EPO) protected power strip.
(e) Use a stable and nonconductive work surface.
(f) Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No freehand testing whenever
possible.
2. Electrical Safety:
As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM may have fully accessible and
active high voltages.
(a) De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs, and electrical loads before performing any electrical or other diagnostic
measurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely de-energized.
(b) With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations, wiring, measurement equipment
hook-ups, and other application needs, while still assuming the EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.
(c) Once EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.
WARNING
While the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical
circuits as they could be at high voltages capable of causing electrical
shock hazard.
3. Personal Safety:
(a) Wear personal protective equipment; for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields or protect EVM in an
adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.
Limitation for safe use: EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.
