FIRMWARE
The product is delivered ex-works with a specific firmware version, which is displayed on the product label.

LABELING
The product is delivered ex-works with a label (Fig. 1) attached on its bottom side (Fig. 2).

This label contains important product information (e.g. certification information) and may not be removed or damaged. In case of a label wear-out, contact ELATEC. Once the product has been integrated into a host device, the label might not be visible anymore. In this case, specific requirements related to the labeling of the host device might apply. For more information, refer to the integration manual of your product and the documentation related to the host device.

 ACCESSORIES

The product can be delivered with the following optional components:

• Development board for interface testing
• PCB antenna (HF) for TWN4 Mini EVP SE M HF.  TWN4 Mini EVP SE M HF has been tested with this antenna. The certifications and approvals granted to TWN4 Mini EVP SE M HF are only valid when the RFID module is used with this antenna. The use of TWN4 Mini EVP SE M HF with another antenna is not part of the approvals granted to the module. In case TWN4 Mini EVP SE M HF is used with another antenna, a separate approval, additional testing, or new authorization for use with this specific antenna is required.  Refer to Chapter “Product family” for more information about the antenna.

In addition, ELATEC also offers cables of different types (e.g. USB, RS-232) in various lengths for connecting their RFID modules to the intended host devices. Refer to the ELATEC website for more information.

MODE OF OPERATION

The mode of operation described in the following chapter is based on a standard ELATEC RFID reader module 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 ELATEC 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.
4.1 OPERATING MODE
To start operating the reader module, it simply has to be connected directly to a host device.
4.2 POWER UP
Once the reader module is connected to the host device, it detects the type of communications cable (e.g. USB, RS-232), with which it is connected to the host.
In case of RS-232:

• A version string is sent via RS-232 to the host device.
• A 5 V external power supply is required and must meet the following conditions:
  • ES1/PS2 classified power source according to IEC 62368-1
  • Short-circuit current < 8 A

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

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

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

DETECTION OF A TRANSPONDER
If a transponder is detected by the reader module, the following actions are performed:

• Send the ID to the host. By default, the USB devices send by emulating keystrokes of a keyboard. RS-232 devices send the ASCII code of an ID.
• Sound a beep.
• Turn off the green LED.
• Blink the red LED for two seconds.
• Turn on the green LED.

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

SUSPEND MODE
Only applicable for USB version of reader modules:
The USB version of reader modules supports the USB suspend mode. If the USB host signals suspend via the USB bus, the reader module 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 normal operation mode, this is also signaled via the USB bus. Therefore, the reader module will resume normal operation too.
