Warning: Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation

● The radiated output of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device

should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

● The end user must avoid any extended human RF exposure directly in front of the UHF Reader, up to a

distance of 30 cm, when unit is switched on.

● When servicing the equipment and selecting a location for the antennas, it is important to note that a

minimum distance of 30 cm is required between personnel and the IPICO antennas to comply with the radio

frequency exposure limit.

● The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 30 cm from

all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

● The following safety precautions should be observed:

- Do not touch or move the antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

- Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or

Touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

- Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; this

behaviour may cause damage to the radio.

2. Cable Connections

2.1 Proposed wiring scheme

Refer to Figure 3. The proposed cables to use are a 4 pair 0.75mm2 Multi-stranded Mylar cable or INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET (CAT 5 or 6) cable for data and power - typical BELDEN reference BLDN7924A-BK. The following constraints will apply when using a single cable for both the data and power:

a. Scenario 1a. In case the ON/OFF switch input will be used, (SW+, SW- ) the cable limitation is 6m for both cable types.

For the Industrial Ethernet the blue pair can be used for the switch input whilst the brown pair can be used for the

power supply feed.

b. Scenario 2. In case the ON/OFF switch input will not be used, the switch wires can be parallel joined with the PSU

wires. In this way the cable length limitation is 15m. For the Industrial Ethernet the blue pair can be joined for the PSU GND connection and the brown pair can be joined for the PSU +12V connection.

CAUTION: The reader chassis is connected to the GND pin internally. During reticulation make sure no ground loops are formed between the reader and the host. When reader is

mounted outside please ensure additional power and data line surge/lightning protection.

NOTE: For longer cable runs the PSU voltage may need to be adjusted so that the current

consumption is approx 1.35 Amp for 2W ERP.


PAGE 10 OF 28

The connector system is based on the Souriau UT061412SH series. The cable clamp and pins are

provided and should be connected as below:

* Not available at present (Q3 2009)

** Dry contact input to switch RF transmitter ON when closed. Reader firmware must be configured /

Figure 4. RS 232 and Wiegand interface

The Wiegand settings can be changed under software control using the isolated RS232 interface.

Default settings is:

a. 26-Bit code. For a 24 bit ID, bits 16 to 39 of the IPICO Tag ID are used (least significant 24 bits excluding the CRC + 2 parity bits).

b. Tpw = 50us, Tpi = 1.8ms and a code retransmit rate of 100ms.

c. D0 and D1 are open-collector outputs. User need to supply external pull-up resistors to

VCC at the host device.

Data format

The 26 bits of transmission from the reader to the panel consists of two parity bits and 24 code bits. The bits are transmitted in the order described. The first bit transmitted is the first parity bit, P1, it is even parity calculated over the first 12 code bits. The last bit transmitted is the second parity bit, P2, it is odd parity calculated over the last 12 code bits: CODE FORMAT 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

4. Status Indicator

Figure 6. Reader status indicator

The status indicator alternates red and green when power is applied and will have intermitted green

flashes that indicate communications or tag activity.

5. Operations overview

The IPICO reader is designed as a read/write (RW) reader. The reader modulates READ commands to the tags in order to interrogate the tag. Depending on the application new DATA can be updated on the tag using a modulated WRITE command. Read commands will typically be 5ms in duration with a response from the tag in 300us for 64bits. A WRITE command will typically be longer and will average around 35ms.

During a read event, the reader will energise a tag(s) (can be a few milliseconds i.e 7ms), followed by modulating a READ command in order to ‘get’ DATA from the tag. The reader decode the incoming signal and place a time/date stamp on it, whilst buffering the data temporarily until such time it can be send, on the communication port, to the host. If multiple DATA pages are received from the same tag before the packet is send to the host, a hit counter is increased. This hit count is included in the communication packet to the host. The RF unit does a full quadrature down conversion, and both in-phase and quadrature phase signal (I and Q) are decoded.

Readers can also read Read/Only (RO) and TTO enabled tags. In TTO mode the tag can present the DATA pages automatically together with the ID.

7. Quick Start

1.1 Show tags

Note: The following set-up is for demonstration purpose only. Installation and applications will be site dependant.

1. Install ShowTags on the controlling PC running on Windowsä 95,98 NT,XP or 2000. It consists of a single .EXE file, which can be downloaded from http://www.IPICO.com to any directory on the controlling PC and run from that directory. From time to time updates are available on the Web at http://www.IPICO.com

2. Start ShowTags. Check the serial port settings. The readers’ serial port factory setting is 9600bps, no flow control, no parity, but it will remember the last setting used. The default setting for ShowTags is the same, but the setting can be changed and saved.

3. Mount the reader on an overhead structure facing downwards (height depending on reader range and tagged object size) or vertically on a pole to such height that the horizontal centreline of the reader is inline with the tags on the objects.

4. Terminate a cable to the selected interface and power termination block on the reader

5. Apply power to the RF unit. Refer to the technical specification regarding the Input voltage requirements for the reader.

6. Present tags into the reader beam.

7. Use ShowTags as a debugging tool to view the tag reading results and to evaluate the different reader commands.

8. The User’s application software can now be implemented.

8. Application notes

1. Some of the IPICO tag antenna formats are dipoles. Like dipoles, they have nulls end-on.

2. Tags should always be orientated in a plane orthogonal to the direction to the reader.

3. Reading speed depends on the tag version used. Please consult IPICO’s support team or your local dealer regarding these specifications.

4. Up to 30 tags can be read per second. This depends however on the total number of tags present in the reader beam at the same time The reading speed will reduce when more than 30 tags are present simultaneously.

5. This reader is compatible with all IPICO UHF tags. See appendix A for available tag types/modes.

6. At 2 W ERP (USA unlicensed) the read range is about 4+ m and at 500 mW, ERP (Europe) the read range is about 2 m depending on the environment and the tags used.

7. Readers operating in small confined spaces can “jam” themselves due to unwanted reflections. Two readers operating simultaneously in close proximity from each other may also influence each other. Please consult IPICO’s support team or your local dealer regarding possible multiplexing/screening strategies.

8. The standard dipole tags must be mounted at least 18 mm away from a metallic or conductive surface, fluids and human bodies. Refer to IPICO’s range of packaged tags in order to plan an application.

9. Reflections from nearby conducting surfaces and multi-path propagation in particular can lead to nulls in the reader field.

10. Please take note that the reader is fitted with a linear polarised antenna and must be mounted correctly, namely vertically.

F1.1

Reader is to automatically Read (N, N=1-14) Memory

page(s) of X4 tag

IS it a RO or RW tag?

READER is now ready and waiting for a tag to come in to the beam. As soon as a tag enters the beam the READER

shall first determine if it is a RO or a RW tag by applying the "Mask" to the start of the ID i.e

058xxxxxxxxxyyyy=RO and

478xxxxxxxxxyyyy = RW NOTE: the following events is per tag that enters the beam

RW

RO

Reader keeps on sending

"aa"+tagID's replies to the SW app while tag is in

the beam

Reader sends"aa"+tagID's

replies to the SW app while tag is in

the beam

Reader starts to modulate the

"READ page (N) data" command to

the tag

Reader will automatically "Retry" to

execute the "READ" command 5 times.

Reader decide if "READ" event is

successful ?

No

Yes

Is "Retry" counter = 5

No

Yes

Reader sends"ad" + tagID's

+ page (N) data replies to the SW app while tag is in

the beam

NOTE: The RW event will be more secure if the DATA in the MEM Pages i.e. Page 1 has

a CCITT CRC included => 48bits Data +16bit CCITT CRC (CRC seed = 0xFFFF)else the SW application may get an "ad"

reply, that must now be tested by evaluating the accumulative I (or Q for the larger

decoders) counts >= 2 to accept the "ad" reply as valid. Reader now wait for the

remainder of the "Redo" time to elaps

..

IS N > W?(W = 1-14) and is User

Application specific
