Manual and Specification SIH-21002 GeneralAs this technology is based on radio frequency, one must exercise the following op-erational and mounting instructions to achieve best operation:Metal affects radio signals. Normally the antenna has to be as far away aspossible from any metal object and it’s damping influence on the magneticfield. Only this leads to the best distribution of the magnetic field in the read-ing range. Very important as well is not to have “short circuits”, in the vicinityof the antenna, damping the magnetic field. A “short circuit” is any metal nearthe antenna, building a “metallic ring”, so that currents introduced by the RF-field can flow, destroying the energy needed for the tag to operate.Care must be exercised to reduce or eliminate unwanted signals (so calledinterference or noise) from external sources. The reading range may be re-duced by following noise sources:portable two way radiocellular phonesswitching power suppliescomputer monitorsfrequency converters (e.g. motor control systems) The read range is depending uponperformance of the readersize of the antennasize of the tag (the bigger the better)orientation of the tag antenna plane to the reader antenna planequality of the tagmatching of reader antenna size and tag (-antenna) sizeenvironmental, electrical noiseIf influence of metal can not be fully avoided a tuning of the antenna is re-quired and will improve reading rangeDocument no. 0000.000.000 Version: 0.4 Page 3 of 23
Manual and Specification SIH-2100Important notice:Scemtec reserves the right to make changes to the product described in thisspecification without notice.This product is not developed to be used in safety-critical applications andtherefore must not be used in such applications.2.1 System DescriptionThis manual describes the electronic-parts of the SIH-2100 HHR 13.56 MHz ReaderSystem. This Hand-Held-Reader “HHR” electronics are designed as a multi-tagSystem to read and write information stored on transponders (tags). A USB 2.0 fullspeed compatible interface and a Blue-tooth interface-port is available as well.2.2 Supported Transponder TypesThe reader-electronic is compatible with standards ISO/IEC 15693- 2 andISO18000-3 "A."2.3 Reading / Writing TAGsSeveral tags in the field can be read or written simultaneously (anti-collision). Theduration of the reading/writing process depends on the number of tags in the field.Generally, there is no max. number of tags that are permitted in the field at thesame time.Other operating-modes see respective software manual.Document no. 0000.000.000 Version: 0.4 Page 4 of 23

Manual and Specification SIH-21004 Software FunctionThe standard firmware SIH-2xxx hand-held device is designed to give the user asimple possibility to scan tags as well as using all the extend functionality of thisreaders.Therefore one of the 3 Modes can be used:Interface Mode: Using the scemtec's stx/etx protocol the reader will executeall supported stx/etx commands like “Get Inventory”, “Read Tag”, “Write Tag”,“Print Message on the Display” etc. The data collected in collect mode cantransferred to a host and cleared via stx/etc commands.Collect Mode: Read Tags and store the content in the internal memory. Read Mode: Read Tags and show the contents on the display.The Default Mode can be set with STX/ETX Command. After pressing the PowerButton, the HHR starts up in the Default Mode. The Modes can also changed with the Mode Button.4.1 BluetoothThe HHR can be connected to a PC by evaluation the blue-tooth workspace andconnecting to the service serial interface or comport.Once the connection is established data can transferred from/to HHR.4.2 USBConnecting the device to a PC a virtual comport is available. The Interface can be used to configure the HHR as well as transferring data fromthe HHR to the Host.4.3 Collect ModeIn this mode it's possible to collect transponder data and store it in the non volatilememory of the reader.Each reading will create a dataset.The content of the dataset can be configured and the data can be transferred to thehost via the USB-interface or Bluetooth.

Manual and Specification SIH-21004.3.1 FunctionIf the Default Mode is set to Collect Mode, the HHR starts up in Collect Mode afterpressing the Power Button.Now it's ready to collect data.Pressing the Read Button starts the reading of Transponders. If no Transpondersare read for “Read Off Time” the HHR switch off the reading unit. Pressing the ReadButton again will start a new reading.The HHR will switch off after the “Reader IDLE Time” if no Transponder are read orButton pressed.4.3.2 Display content:1....0: Tag Contentnnn: Number of Tags in fieldmmmm: Number of stored DatasetsA: Battery state.C: Collect Mode selected.No. [Time Stamp] [Tag ID] [Data 0] ...
