Copyright © 2011 scemtec Transponder Technology GmbH (STT) General: As this technology is based on radio frequency, one must exercise the following operational and mounting instructions to achieve best operation: • Metal affects radio signals. Normally the antenna has to be as far away as possible from any metal object and it’s damping influence on the magnetic field. Only this leads to the best distribution of the magnetic field in the reading range. Very important as well is not to have “short circuits”, in the vicinity of the antenna, damping the magnetic field. A “short circuit” is any metal near the 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 called interference or noise) from external sources. The reading range may be reduced 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 required and will improve reading range

This manual describes the SIR-2010(STK-2010) 13.56 MHz Midrange Reader System, Reader for short. This SIR-2010 Midrange Reader System is designed as a multi-tag system to read and write information stored on transponders (tags). The operating frequency of 13.56 MHz yields a relatively wide reading range of up to 550 mm depending on antenna system (mainly with larger externally attached antennas) and transponder -type and -size. This first generation of SIR-20xx Midrange Readers is based on the hardware developed by scemtec Transponder Technology featuring an RF transmitting power of nominal 500mW @ 50Ω-load. The SIR-2010 13.56 MHz Midrange Reader System is the second product in the SIR-20xx product family. The transmission of data between the reader and a host computer via an USB 2.0 full speed compatible interface and an Ethernet port is available as well. The reader is compatible with standards ISO/IEC 15693- 2 and ISO18000-3 "A."

The reader is ready for operation after a short self-test. The reader carries out a short self-test each time it is switched on. This tests all key components and functions of the reader. Once the diagnosis routines have completed successfully, the software switches to IDLE mode, i.e. the program waits for input via one of the two described ports of the interface to switch to a different operating mode. At this time, the antenna does not yet transmit since the carrier is still switched off. The hardware is in STANDBY operating mode, the carrier is not active, and the energy consumption of the reader is minimal. The carrier is automatically switched on once the reader receives a command from the host sent across the interface, which the reader can only carry out with activated carrier. If there is no input for a longer period of time after executing the command, the carrier is switched off again and the hardware enters the STANDBY mode again as well. 4.2 Reading / Writing Tags Several tags in the field can be read or written simultaneously (anti-collision). The duration 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 the same time.
Manual and Specification SIR-2010 ( STK-2010 ) Document No. SIR-2010 Version: 0.01 Page 6 of 15 4.3 EAS Antitheft EAS is an abbreviation of Electronic Article Surveillance. This operating mode serves to monitor items or articles electronically. The tags in the field are neither read nor written. The only thing determined is whether a tag is in the field with a set EAS mode flag. This mode allows for greater ranges than the read/write mode. When using an external antenna such as the scemtec SAT-A40-LR-O-13MHz with an edge length of 400 mm (available as optional equipment), the detection range can be expanded up to max. 600 mm. Note: EAS mode is not supported by all silicon and transponder manufacturers. 5 Hardware 5.1 Voltage Supply The standard version of the SIR-2010 reader in standard housing is designded for an input voltage range of 6-6,5 Volt / =DC and a tolerance of +/- 0,5 Volt . The following input voltage ranges are thus possible with the rated current consumptions in different operating modes: Input voltage ranges: = DC / direct current 6-6,5 Volt Input voltage - tolerance +/- 0,5 Volt Current consumption of the different operating modes: in STANDBY mode: @ 6 Volt / DC power supply ≤ 100 mA while operating(carrier on):@ 6 Volt / DC power supply ≤ 550 mA For the SIR-2010 reader system is a suitable wall plug 6 Volt =DC / 1000mA power supply also as optional accessory available and contactable to the SIR-2010 over a 2.1mm standard barrel connector. 5.2 HF Unit The carrier frequency of 13.56 MHz is generated in the HF unit. The final stage generates an output of nominal 500mW @ a 50 Ω-load. 5.3 External Antenna The reader is only operational with an external antenna. The operating frequency f0 amounts to 13.56MHz with a max. RF output of nominal 500mW @ a 50 Ω-load. Some key parameters of the reader such as range, for example, depend on the used antenna, the used transponder type and size and quality, and the resulting magnetic coupling between the transponder resonant circuit and the transmission/receiver antenna. Normally only one external antenna can be connected with a SMA plug connection located on the front of the cable inlet side (see port labeled “ANT” output). When operating with the external antenna, this antenna should be configured for the optimal resonance frequency of 13.56MHz with ohmic adjustment (nominal ZF = 50 Ω) to ensure the best possible adjustment to the SIR-2010 Midrange Reader System.

This also includes testing the key components and functions of the reader. Should a malfunction occur while using the SIR-2010 Midrange Reader System, simply load the POST diagnosis by turning the unit (or the mains power supply) off and then on again. The displayed error message then helps in solving the problem quickly and reliably.
