Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device. 830-0719-02 Model 5102-6060 HF 13.56 MHz RFID Antenna, 60x60mm with 35mm diameter center hole, MMCX connector 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 3 Section 1 General Information Revision 9/21 This manual provides information pertaining to the installation and operation of the Model HF-3020 13.56 MHz Reader. This series of Readers is available as a single piece solution Reader + internal Antenna in enclosure, or Reader with external Antenna as a two piece solution, or as board level PCBA components. See part numbers on page This Reader is unique in that it can operate with four different types RFID Tag chips, ISO 15693, ISO 14443A, ISO 14443B, and NXP's original Icode1 (the latter not being an ISO standard). Under these standards there are varying amounts of Tag memory, all of which include a non-alterable UID (unique identification) section that acts as a RO (read only) random identifier. This Reader and the RFID Tags can also be provided as a proprietary product for brand protection applications. This Reader is simple to use, plug & play, in that all commands and reports are represented in standard human readable ASCII. It is not necessary to convert commands to hex nor translate the outputs from hex as this work is done in our processor. The Reader operates as both a transmitter and receiver, providing a high frequency electromagnetic field at 13.56 MHz to energize and activate an electronic transponder (RFID Tag). Once the Tag is energized it modulates its data back to the Reader which in turn detects and demodulates this data for delivery to the serial or USB port. 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 4 Revision 9/21 Tag Memory Generally, HF RFID passive Tag chips, containing a EEPROM with encoded data, have no finite life for read only operations and a finite life of 100k writes. There exist a plethora of HF Tag chips available on the market, thus Tag memory is not discussed in detail herein. RFID, Inc. can provide a specific memory organization map dependent upon the chip and size of memory you intend to use. Data is represented in Hexadecimal and each byte will appear as two characters. The valid characters are 0 to 9 and A to F, so if a page has 8 bytes the reader will display it as 16 hexadecimal characters. If a block has 4 bytes the reader will display it as 8 hexadecimal characters. ISO15693 The Transponder ID is 64 bits long (8 bytes). Example <LF>E0078077CDCD153E<CR> Most ISO15693 transponders are divided in blocks of 4 bytes (32 bits) represented by 8 hexadecimal characters. Example <LF>05 00000578<CR> In some very rare cases an ISO15693 transponder will be divided in blocks of 64 bits. The reader automatically recognizes these types of transponder and adjusts its data size to it. If you are not familiar with the block size of the transponder in use, it is recommended to read a block from it to discover the block size ISO14443-B The Transponder ID is 32 bits long (4 bytes). Example <LF>008B78B5<CR> Transponders are divided in pages of 8 bytes (64 bits) represented by 16 hexadecimal characters, when reading a page the reader first sends the two digit page number followed by a space and the 16 characters of data. Example <LF>05 0000000000000056<CR> Here are some examples of memory sizes available. With new chips being added to the market from time to time, this list may not be up to date. ISO 15693 256 bits 512 bits 576 bits 1k bits 2k bits 2k Bytes 10k bits ISO 14443A 512 bits 320 Bytes 1k bits 4k Bytes 8k bits ISO 14443B 1k bits 2k bits 4k bits 8k bits 16k bits 32k bits 64k bits 14190 E.

RS232 has a maximum effective distance of 50', use RS232 to RS422 converters if distance up to 2k' is necessary. Whatever cable is selected, it should fit within the range allowed by the cable gland providing wire access to the Smart Antenna. The cable gland will accommodate diameters of .090 to .265 inches. Power & Communication Connections Regulated power supplies are preferred, linear power supplies are acceptable, switching power supplies should never be used as they affect the Smart Antenna's read range performance. Take care that while some supplies are labeled as regulated, they are actually switching. Contact the source of your supply or contact RFID, Inc. technical support with the make and model number of your supply. RFID, Inc. can provide an AC adaptable power supply suitable for use with this Reader. 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 7 Revision 9/21 Antenna Connection Readers with the Antenna mounted in the enclosure incorporate a pre-connected Antenna. Readers in an enclosure for use with an external Antenna have an SMA connector ready for adaptation. Readers at a PCB level have 2 connection points for co-axial cable as shown below for Antenna connection. USB Reader Version The USB Reader version is power over USB however some older PC's USB ports do not offer sufficient power so there is the option to use external power as well, see photo below. J3 Pins For Power 24V+ and GND and RS232 JP1 Pins External Power/USB Power in selector header. J6 & J7 Pins Place shunts on inside pins for USB power and outside pins for external power. Early versions of this PCB incorrectly printed J6 power options. Use the inside/outside rule explained in the previous sentence. RS232 Reader Version The serial Reader comes with either a quick connect jack mounted into the enclosure or pigtail wiring ready for adaptation to your own supply. With the pigtail power wiring you will see a set of 2 wires, white and black. White is +voltage and black is ground. If you ordered the quick connect power jack then you probably also ordered the mating AC adaptable power supply. J3 Pins Pin 1 is nearest to inscription "J2". PIN# 1 2 3 4 5 SIGNAL NAME +VDC IN 0VDC or Ground Signal Ground Tx Transmit Rx Receive 9 pin D-SUB Female If you have a Reader with 9 pin D-sub, the connections are pre-wired to act as a null modem with pins 2 and 3 being crossed. No null modem cable is necessary. 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 8 Drawing Revision 9/21 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 9 Section 2 - Quick Start Installation Guide Revision 9/21 Reading Mode This Reader has three reading modes, commands for selecting these modes are detailed in section 3: Single Tag Report Mode - meaning a Tag's base memory (UID) will be read and reported once. The Reader is defaulted to the Single Read Mode although any change will be held in non-volatile memory. Duplicate Tag Report Mode - meaning a Tag's base memory will be continually read and reported. Polling Tag Report Mode - whereby a Tag will only be reported if the Reader is queried and an RFID Tag is present to the Reader. Note that ISO 14443 type Tags are meant only to be polled, however in the Single and Duplicate read modes our Reader operates in a mode that polls continuously in order to present data without you the user having to poll the Reader although the normal Polling mode is fully functional. This is why you will see an "e" message at the end of either reading routine. Reading Tags Simply power the RS232 Reader or plug in the USB port to your host and an LED will illuminate. Solid illumination indicates power is applied and the Reader is ready for operation. If the Reader is in the correct reading mode, presenting a Tag at this point will result in the LED blinking off and back to solid indicating a successful read has been achieved. Preparing to interface the Smart Antenna to your PC There two options available to you for achieving Tag data to your PC screen, one to include log or text files. RFID, Inc. is also happy to provide the VB code, free of charge, we have written for our demo program. If you have already interfaced the Reader to a terminal program or your own software, upon powering the Reader you will see a power up message from the serial Reader. The USB version has no power up message. Generic Terminal Program Any common terminal emulation program can be used, for example HyperTerminal, ProComm, Teraterm, Putty, etc. RFID, Inc.'s free of charge Terminal Program - RFID, Inc. provides a free software demo program called "RFID UHF Term or "RFID Demo Terminal Programmable" downloadable here https://www.rfidinc.com/resource-center/. It may appear in your Programs menu as RFIDIncUHFTerm. It is important to follow these steps in order for the program to scan and identify the ports available on your computer. (1) Plug the RS232 9 pin connector into your computer (use an RS232 to USB converter if no 9 pin connector is available on your computer) or use the direct USB to USB connection. (2) Power the Reader on (not necessary for USB). 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 10 Revision 9/21 (3) Execute the RFIDIncUHFTerm Program. Select "Scan Ports" found upper right. This allows the program to scan which port address is connected to the Reader. In the upper left, under "Ports" use the pull down menu to choose the port discovered. (4) Set the baud rate and remaining communication settings, default is 115200 baud, 8 data bits, None Parity, 1 stop bit and None Flow Control (115200, 8, N, 1, N). You can also view which port is connected by going to your Desktop, right click on My Computer, choose Properties, Hardware and Device Manager, then open the Ports directory tree. (5) Select "Connect." Presenting a Tag to the Antenna should now bring that Tag data onto the main screen and the lower body of the screen as well. Remove Old Data - This program also offers the ability to "Remove Old Data" by checking this box under "Tag Read Settings," a process of deleting Tag reads from the screen set to the timeouts you choose in the pull down menu. For example if you choose 5,10,15 Timeout, Tag data will begin highlighted in green for the first 5 seconds, then become highlighted in yellow at 5 seconds time, then turn to red at 10 seconds time, and finally be deleted at 15 seconds time. Maximum Tags An option rarely used for HF Tags. This program also offers the ability to time how long it takes to read the amount of Tags you wish to test by choosing the number of Tags under the "Max Tags" setting. You will see the data field to the right increment as the Reader counts how many unique Tags have been read. If you choose 100 as your Max Tags setting, once the Reader has read 100 unique Tags a pop up box will appear advising you the amount of time this procedure took. Save This box will prompt you to save Tag data to a text file with time and date stamp. The main screen area (white) is solely used for display of Tag data. The lower screen area (black) will display Tag data and also allow you to enter commands to the Reader. Note - All commands must be issued in CAPS, preceded by an open square bracket and ended with a closed square bracket [B] for example. There is more in depth information on how to read and write specific portions of Tag memory under the Commands section of this product manual. Single Report Tag Read Mode Place your cursor in the lower screen area and type [S]. This will initiate the Single Report Tag Read Mode and the Reader will respond with "OK." Duplicate Report Tag Read Mode - Place your cursor in the lower screen area and type [D]. This will initiate the Duplicate Report Tag Read Mode and the Reader will respond with "OK." 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 11 Revision 9/21 Section 3 - Operating the Reader This section explains operational commands and input received back from the Reader, commands, operating modes, and responses. Note: All commands are issued in ASCII CAPITAL letters, and they are preceded by an open square bracket and ended with a closed square bracket. Some symbols and all numbers are permitted. No spaces are permitted. Commands are held in non-volatile memory, meaning that if power is taken away from the Smart Antenna the last command or settings will be retained when re-powered. General Commands & Responses (ISO protocol independent) Tag Data Delivery Tag data will be sent to the serial port in the following format. <LF>XXXXXXXX<CR> Where: <LF> = Line Feed XXXXXXXX = Tag data <CR> = Carriage Return 14190 E.

In this mode the reader will only report the Tag ID once when it arrives within antenna range. The Reader continues to read the ID but does not report it again. As long as a Tag is continually present to the Reader only 1 read will be reported however if the Tag leaves the Reader's RF field briefly and is re-presented the read will be re-reported. Host: [S] Where: S = command Reader Response: <LF>OK<CR> Where: <LF> = Line Feed OK = Response <CR> = Carriage Return Duplicate Mode Command - [D] This command causes the reader to enter DUPLICATE MODE. In this mode the Reader will continually report any Tag ID present to the Reader. This mode is mostly used as a test or demonstration mode to visually measure read range.

Illegal command between delimiters the receipt of a message not contained within this specification. Legal but invalid command received i.e. the receipt of [T] Transfer/read request while not in MODE Polling. Troubleshooting My Reader is not responding. Re-power the unit. Ensure the LED is on indicating power is applied? If not, check the source of your supply (change AC outlets or power supplies). The LED is on but does not blink when a Tag is presented. 14190 E. Jewell Avenue Suite 4 Aurora CO 80012 TEL: 303-366-1234 www.rfidinc.com 13.56 MHz High Frequency Reader Operations Manual 16 Revision 9/21 Ensure the Reader is in the correct Tag Mode specific to your specific ISO Tags, for example 15693. Change the Tag Mode using the [B] command. The LED is on and blinks when a Tag is presented but I see no data on my PC.
