The RFID readers of the TWN4 Slim family can also be installed on a wall, host device or any other appropriate surface using the specific TWN4 Slim mounting frame. This frame can be easily fixed with the delivered adhesive pads. To do so, proceed as follows:

  1. Connect the reader to the host device as described in Chapter “Connection to a host device”. Make sure that the USB cable is correctly seated in the cable strain relief before connecting the cable to the reader.
  2. Using the adhesive pads, fix the reader to the mounting frame first, then fix the mounting frame with the reader to the desired location (e.g. printer, machine, wall).
  3. Make sure that the reader and the mounting frame have been fixed correctly to avoid any damage to the reader or unintentional removal of the USB cable.

Refer to Chapter “Accessories” for more information about the TWN4 Slim mounting frame.

MOUNTING HOLES

The RFID readers of the TWN4 Slim family are equipped with two mounting holes that can be used to fix the reader. In this configuration, the readers are delivered with a specific inlay designed with two mounting hole cutouts that enable proper use of the mounting holes (Fig. 6).

Proceed as follows to fix the reader using the mounting holes:

  1. Connect the reader to the host device as described in Chapter “Connection to a host device”.
  2. Place the reader in the desired mounting location.
  3. Using a screwdriver and the mounting holes, fix the reader with two plastic screws Ø 3.0 mm1.
  4. Make sure that the reader is firmly seated and connected and that the housing and other components are not damaged2.

1 Please be aware of the influence of metallic materials on or in direct vicinity to the reader. These materials could reduce the reading performance of the reader. Thus, it is necessary to use non-ferromagnetic screws (e.g. plastic screws) when fixing the reader through the mounting holes.
2 The readers of the TWN4 Slim family consists of a thin plastic housing and sensitive electronic components. When fixing a reader using the mounting holes, do not overtighten the screws to avoid any damage to the housing or the components on the circuit board.

CONNECTION TO A HOST DEVICE

CONNECTION WITH FLEXIBLE MICRO USB CABLE

This chapter applies to the TWN4 Slim, TWN4 Slim JP and TWN4 Slim LEGIC reader models only.
Before connecting the reader to the host device with the flexible micro USB cable, the following safety information must be read carefully and understood:

  • The reader is equipped with a flexible cable that can be safely and easily turned to 180°, which facilitates the installation process. However, the cable shall not be pulled excessively or twisted if not necessary.
  • The flexible cable is an integral component of the reader and may not be replaced or extended.
  • The micro USB connector on the flexible cable is a sensitive component that requires particular attention. When plugging a host cable in and out, the connector must always be held, e.g. with a thumb.
  • After a host cable has been plugged in, the micro USB connector may not be held or blocked when turning the flexible cable.
  • When turning the flexible cable, it is important to use the largest bending radius to avoid overbending or excessive kinking of the cable.

Proceed as follows to connect the reader to the host device:

  1. Hold the micro USB connector on the reader with a thumb and insert the host cable carefully.
  2. If the installation of the reader requires the flexible cable to be turned, do not hold or block the connector when turning the flexible cable and try to use the largest bending radius.
  3. Do not twist the cable or connector if not necessary. In case the reader is installed in a printer integration pocket, it is necessary to plug the host cable in the connector and turn the flexible cable first before inserting the reader in the HIP cover.
  4. Do not insert the cable in the connector and do not bend the connector when the reader is installed in the HIP cover.

CONNECTION WITH MICRO USB CONNECTOR

This chapter applies to the TWN4 Slim MK2 and TWN4 Slim MK2 LF HF reader models only.

Before connecting the reader to the host device with the micro USB connector, the following safety information must be read carefully and understood:

  • The reader is equipped with a micro USB connector that enables a quick and easy connection to the host device. Once an appropriate cable has been plugged in to the micro USB connector, the cable shall not be pulled excessively.
  • In addition, the USB plug connector of the cable should not be held and twisted excessively when the cable is plugged in to the micro USB connector of the reader. Otherwise, the micro USB connector of the reader might be damaged.

To connect the reader to the host device, it simply has to be connected through the micro USB connector using an appropriate USB cable.

MODE OF OPERATION

The mode of operation described in the following chapter is based on a standard ELATEC RFID reader equipped with two LEDs. Depending on your product (number of LEDs, installed firmware, etc.) and in case the product settings have been modified with the AppBlaster tool, the information below might differ from your product configuration when in operation. In particular, the color and sequence of the LEDs on your product might be different.

OPERATING MODE

In order to start operating the reader, it simply has to be connected directly to a host device.

POWER UP

In case of an external power supply unit is used, the following requirements must be satisfied:

  • ES1/PS2 classified power source according to IEC 62368-1
  • Short-circuit current < 8 A

ENUMERATION

  • Once the device has been powered up, it waits for completion of the enumeration by the USB host.
  • As long as the reader is not enumerated, it is in a minimum power consumption mode, where both LEDs are turned off.

INITIALIZATION

After powering up and enumeration, the device turns on the built-in transponder reader logic. The green LED is turned on permanently. Some RFID readers need some kind of initialization, which is performed in this step. After successful initialization, the device sounds a short sequence, which consists of a lower tone followed by a higher tone.

NORMAL OPERATION

  • As soon as the reader has completed the initialization, it enters the normal operation mode. During normal operation, the reader searches for a transponder continuously.

DETECTION OF A TRANSPONDER

If a transponder is detected by the reader, the following actions are performed:

  • Send the ID to the host. By default, the USB device sends by emulating keystrokes of a keyboard.
  • Sound a beep.
  • Turn off the green LED.
  • Blink the red LED for two seconds.
  • Turn on the green LED.

Within the two seconds timeout, where the red LED is blinking, the transponder, which just has been recognized will not be accepted again. This prevents the reader from sending identical IDs more than one time to the host. If during the two seconds timeout of the red LED a different transponder is detected, the complete sequence restarts immediately.

SUSPEND MODE

The reader supports the USB suspend mode. If the USB host signals suspend via the USB bus, the reader turns off most of its power consuming peripherals. During this operation mode, no detection of transponders is possible and all LEDs are turned off. Once the host resumes to normal operation mode, this is also signaled via the USB bus. Therefore, the reader will resume to normal operation too.
