4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your ISC.PR100 Proximity Reader:
- Mounting: Securely mount the reader in the desired location using appropriate fasteners. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid mounting near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
- Power Connection: Connect the 12-24VDC power supply to the designated power input terminals. Observe correct polarity.
- Data Interface Connection: Connect the reader to your host system using either the RS-232 or RS-485 interface, as required by your application. Refer to the device's pinout diagram for correct wiring.
- Antenna Placement: Position the reader's antenna (if external) or the integrated antenna area to optimize read range and performance for your specific transponders.
- Initial Power-Up: Once all connections are secure, apply power to the device. The reader should perform a self-test and indicate readiness (e.g., via an LED indicator).
5. Operating Instructions
The ISC.PR100 operates by detecting ISO-tags 15639 transponders within its read range. Operation is typically controlled by a host system via the connected interface (RS-232/RS-485).
5.1 Basic Operation
- Ensure the reader is powered on and connected to the host system.
- Place an ISO-tag 15639 transponder within the reader's effective range (up to 180mm).
- The reader will detect the transponder and transmit its data to the host system according to the configured communication protocol.
5.2 Communication Protocol
Detailed information regarding the communication protocol (commands, responses, data formats) for RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces can be found in the technical documentation provided by FEIG. It is essential to configure your host system to match the reader's communication settings (e.g., baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits).
6. Maintenance
The FEIG ID ISC.PR100 Proximity Reader is designed for low maintenance. However, regular care can extend its lifespan and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Environment: Maintain the operating environment within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ISC.PR100, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on. | No power supply; incorrect voltage; faulty cable. | Check power connections and supply voltage. Ensure cables are not damaged. |
| Cannot read transponders. | Transponder out of range; incorrect transponder type; interference; faulty reader. | Ensure transponder is within 180mm range. Verify it's an ISO-tag 15639. Check for strong electromagnetic fields nearby. |
| Communication errors with host system. | Incorrect interface settings (baud rate, etc.); faulty data cable; software issue. | Verify communication settings match between reader and host. Check data cable integrity. Consult host system software documentation. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact FEIG technical support.
