7May ’01 Chapter 1. Introduction1.1 GeneralThis document provides information about the S6500 Long Range Reader Module.It describes the reader and how to install it. 1.2 System DescriptionThe HF Reader System Series 6000 works at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. It comprisesa reader, antenna and transponder (for example: smart label) and is used for wire-less identification of a variety of objects.The system works according the “reader talks first” principle which means that thetransponder keeps quiet until the reader sends a request to it. The reader can rapidlyand simultaneously identify numerous transponders in the antenna’s field. It canwrite data to and read data from the transponders; either in addressed mode by usingthe factory programmed read only number, or in general mode to all of the transpond-ers in its field. The read/write capability of the transponder allows users to update thedata stored in the transponders memory anywhere along its movements. 1.3 Product DescriptionThe S6500 Long Range Reader Module handles all RF and digital functions requiredin order to communicate with Tag-it HF, Tag-it HF-I (ISO 15693 compliant) and allother ISO 15693 compliant transponder from various suppliers.The Reader Module is mounted onto a rigid, 6 mm thick aluminium base plate. Themodule has two digital inputs, two digital outputs, a relay output and an asynchro-nous interface which can be configured as RS232 or RS485. The configurability of the interfaces also allows the module to be operated on anRS485 data bus. The address can be assigned either through software or hardware(3 DIP switches).

15May ’01 Chapter 2. Reader Hardware2.4 Reader Module LEDsThere are five (one green and four red) LEDs on the reader. Their location is shownin Figure 2 and their function is described in Table 14. Table 14: Description of LEDsName Description LED V1 (green)“RUN-LED”- If all checks are OK this LED comes on (flashes) when V5 goes out. It indicates that the reader’s internal software is running properly. - Flashing rate approximately 1 Hz. - After a firmware change this LED flashes alternately with V5 until a second reset is performed. LED V2 (red)Diagnostic 1: RF communication / EEPROM status- Short flashing indicates error-free communication with a transponder on the RF interface.- Flashes alternating with V1 after a Reset following a software update.- Flashes alternating with V1 in case a data error while reading the parameters occurred following a Reset. LED V3 (red)Diagnostic 2: Host communication- Short flashing indicates a protocol is being sent to the host on the RS232/RS485 interface.LED V4 (red) Diagnostic 3: Reserved LED V5 (red)Diagnostic 4: Reader initialization / RF error- Comes on during Reader initialization after power-up or after a reset, and goes out if everything is OK.- Comes on to indicate an error in the RF section of the Reader. The error type can be read out via software on the RS232/RS485 interface. - After a firmware change this LED flashes alternately with V1 until a second reset is performed.

18S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide May ’013.1 Introduction3.2 GeneralThe S6500 Reader Module has been designed with easy installation in mind. The fol-lowing information provides you with any details that you will need to know. 3.2.1 Default ConfigurationThe S6500 Reader is delivered with the default configuration as follows: - Communication Interface: 38400 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, even parity - Antenna Connection: Only TX/RX Antenna active - Anticollision procedure: active - Supported Transponder Types: Tag-it HF, Tag-it HF-I (and other ISO 15693 complianttransponders)However, if your system requires that you use the reader with a different configura-tion, you can use the S6 Reader Utility program which is available at our internet sitehttp://www.ti-rfid.com (S/W Tools & Download) to re-configure the reader to your sys-tem’s requirements. 3.3 Mechanical MountingMounting is accomplished using the 4.5 mm diameter holes located in each cornerof the base plate (see Figure 3). If the antenna is properly tuned and there is sufficientair convection along the mounting plate, the reader can be operated without an ad-ditional heat sink at up to 4 W of RF power. If you are going to operate the reader module above 4 W (to fully exploit the reader’sperformance) it must be mounted on an additional heat sink. The heat sink shouldhave a thermal resistance RThK of maximum 0.8 K/W. When attaching the ReaderModule to the heat sink you should strive for as little heat transfer resistance betweenthe base plate and the heat sink as possible. We recommend that you use a heatsink compound.Note:Always ensure that the reader is switched off when making or break-ing connections to it.Note:If you are only using one transponder Type in the application, the reaction time of the reader for transponder read/write operations can be optimized as long as only one transponder driver (not both of them) is activated.
19May ’01 Chapter 3. InstallationFigure 3: Reader Mounting HolesThe tolerances for the position of the mounting holes is ± 0.5 mm. Note:Detuning of the antenna can result in additional heat being generated in the reader. If this happens the reader regulates its output power down until the final stage is once again within its upper temperature limit.150,00 mm160,00 mm100 mm110 mm120 mmø 4,5 mmø 4,5 mmø 4,5 mm ø 4,5 mm
20S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide May ’013.4 Connectors3.4.1 Power Supply ConnectorThe supply voltage is connected to connector X3 on the lower circuit board. Figure 4: Supply Voltage Connector X33.4.2 Antenna Connectors (X1 & X2)The transmit/receive antenna must be connected to the reader via the antenna SMAsocket (X2). The maximum tightening torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm. If you are using a receive only antenna (together with the read write antenna) it mustbe connected to the reader via the antenna SMA socket (X1). The maximum tighten-ing torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm.CAUTIONS:1. Reversing the power supply wires may destroy the device.2. If you are using a switched power supply you must ensure that the switching frequency is below 300 kHz. Notes:1. In order to conform to national requirements for radio devices, the power supply line must incorporate one of the ∅ 28 mm x 20 mm ring cores mentioned in section 1.5. The cable must be wound around the core at least eight times (as shown in Figure 11). The distance between the ring core and the reader connection must not be more than 10 cm. 2. In order to avoid interference, the length of the cable between the power supply and the reader must not exceed 3 m. Notes:1. In order to conform to national requirements for radio devices, each antenna line must incorporate one of the ∅ 28 mm x 20 mm ring cores mentioned in section 1.5. The cable must be wound around the core at least four times (as shown in Figure 5). The distance between the ring core and the reader connection must not be more than 10 cm. 2. When connecting an antenna, ensure that it does not exceed the permissible limits as prescribed by the national regulations for radio frequency devices. X3X112+24 V DCGND!
21May ’01 Chapter 3. InstallationFigure 5: Antenna Line on a Ring Core3.4.3 Isolated Optocouplers Input ConnectorThe input LED's on the optocouplers have an internal input series resistor of 500 Ω.For supply voltages above 10V the input current must be limited to a maximum of 20mA by an additional external dropping resistor (see Figure 6 and Table 16). Figure 6: Optocoupler Input - Internal and External Wiring CAUTION:Reversing the polarity or overloading the inputs will destroy the reader. Notes:1. If the connecting cable is longer than 3 m you must use a shielded cable. 2. You must NOT use the reader’s supply voltage to drive these inputs as the added noise may reduce the effective reading range.

The outputs must therefore be powered by externalsupplies.The outputs are designed to switch resistive loads only.
