August 2001 Series 7000 Reader Reference Guide7Draft DocumentFCC ID: A92RU1001A1.1 DescriptionThis document describes the features and operational characteristics of the RI-RU1-001A-00 Series7000 Ultra-High Frequency Reader as shown in Figure 1. The Series 7000 Reader operates at afrequency of 915MHZ and is compatible with Tag-it UHF inlays and tags.The reader provides nine coaxial connectors for supporting up to nine external antennas. Eachantenna plugs into its own connector on the rear panel of the reader. The reader can be configuredto read inlays in the following modes:• Collective or selective data to be read from a single inlay.• Collective or selective data to be read from multiple inlays without requiring sorting or unpacking.• Classes of inlays to be filtered according to user-defined criteria.This technology employs an interrogation feature that enables applications to uniquely identify allinlays in the scan field, without misidentification. It also uses a protocol that maintains a uniform per-inlay scan time, regardless of the number of inlays in the scan field. The protocol provides a flexiblesoftware application interface that can be customized to the specific needs of particular industries orapplications. This reference guide provides the details that are necessary to properly interface anduse the reader as a part of an integrated system. Figure 1: RI-RU1-001A-00 UHF ReaderProgramming InterfaceThe Series 7000 Reader is designed to operate as a part of a host-based reader system, whichessentially relegates the reader to be a slave to the host. Host-to-Reader serial communications areaccomplished within data packets, which occurs at RS-232 levels using 57,600. By definition, thehost is always the primary station and initiates all communication sequences.
