Safety Instructions

  • The device may only be used for the intended purpose designed by the manufacturer.
  • The operation manual should be conveniently kept available at all times for each user.
  • Unauthorized changes and the use of spare parts and additional devices that have not been sold or recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shocks or injuries. Such unauthorized measures shall exclude any liability by the manufacturer.
  • The liability prescriptions of the manufacturer in the issue valid at the time of purchase are valid for the device. The manufacturer shall not be held legally responsible for inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in the manual or automatically set parameters for a device or for an incorrect application of a device.
  • Repairs may only be executed by the manufacturer.
  • Installation, operation, and maintenance procedures should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
  • Use of the device and its installation must be under national legal requirements and local electrical codes.
  • When working on devices valid safety regulations must be observed.
  • Before touching the device, the power supply must always be interrupted. Make sure that the device is without voltage by measuring. The fading of an operation control (LED) is no indicator for an interrupted power supply or the device being out of voltage!
  • Special advice for wearers of cardiac pacemakers:
  • Although this device doesn’t exceed the valid limits for electromagnetic fields you should keep a minimum distance of 25 cm between the device and your cardiac pacemaker and not stay in the immediate proximity of the device’s antenna for any length of time.

Performance Features of the Readers

Connections

Depending on the reader variant different connectors are available. Figure 3: Connection overview displays the arrangement and Table 2: Connectors shows which connector can be used for the different interface cables.

FEIG-ELECTRONIC-MR102-RFID-Reader-FIG-3

Connector Description
ANT 1 Antenna terminal ANT 1 (Impedance 50Ohm)
X1 Power supply 12 – 24VDC
X2 RS232 Interface
X3 USB Interface
X4 10/100Tbase Ethernet interface with RJ-45 (PoE)

Antenna terminal ANT 1
A SMA socket is provided on the circuit board for connecting the external antenna.

The maximum tightening torque for the SMA socket is 0.45 Nm.
Caution: Higher tightening torque will damage the connector.

Terminal Description
X4 Connecting the external antenna (input impedance 50W)

Table 3: Connecting the external antenna

Note

• The input impedance for the antenna must be calibrated to a value of 50 ).
• If the antenna ID ISC.ANT340240 is used at a minimum distance of 20cm to any necessary metal parts. Otherwise, there is a danger that the reader will be destroyed.
• The optimum operating Q factor of the antenna should be in a range of QB = 10…20. To determine the operating Q the antenna must be supplied with a 50 Ohm source such as a network analyzer or frequency generator.
• When connecting an antenna, ensure that it does not exceed the permissible limits prescribed by the national regulations for radio frequency devices.

DC Voltage supply on antenna connector ANT1
The reader can provide a DC voltage on the antenna output ANT1. With this DC voltage, an external LED can be supported for example.

Note

  • This DC voltage (7,5V± 1V) is designed for low current (max. 5mA) only.
  • Only antennas can be used which are designed for DC voltage and do not shortcut DC voltages.
  • For the connection of other devices (e.g. VSWR-Meter), it is necessary to check if DC voltage is allowed.
  • This DC voltage is not sufficient for powering the ID ISC.DAT tuning board.

Power supply

Power supply via X1
The reader has to be supplied by a limited power supply according to EN 62368-1 Chapter Q.1, or with a NEC Class 2/LPS certified power supply.

  • The external wiring for the power supply must be compliant with
  • IEC 60332-2-1 and IEC 60332-2-2 for Wire Cross Section < 0.5 mm2
  • IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-1-3 for Wire Cross Section > 0.5 mm2
  • Connect the 12-24 V DC/ supply voltage to socket X1 on the circuit board.
  • Direct current symbol

FEIG-ELECTRONIC-MR102-RFID-Reader-FIG-14

Note

  • Reversing the polarity of the supply voltage may destroy the device.
  • The unit has to be supplied by a listed NEC Class 2/LPS Power supply, only

Power supply recommendations
To take full advantage of the Reader’s performance, you must use a sufficiently regulated and low-noise power supply. When using a switching power supply, be sure that its internal switching frequency is less than 300 kHz. See also: Accessories

RS232 Interface (ID ISC.MR102-A)
Interface parameters can be configured via software protocol (e.g. ISOStart)

Ethernet-Interface on X2 (10/100Tbase)

  • The Reader has an integrated 10 / 100 base-T network port for an RJ-45. Connection is made on X2 and has an automatic “Crossover Detection” according to the 100BASE-T Standard.
  • With structured cabling CAT 5 cables should be used. This ensures a reliable operation at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
  • The prerequisite for using TCP/IP protocol is that each device has a unique address on the network. All Readers have a factory-set IP address. Interface parameters can be configured via software protocol (e.g. ISOStart).
