REVISION 1.0, 2009-05-27
The IDT is a RFID Read-/Write-Device (short: reader) which is compatible to read and write to
4k-Mifare cards. All functions of reader can be controlled over USB- Interface or RS232-interface
which allows data exchange with a host computer. This includes:
• switch on/off RF-Field
• read/write to a transponder
Mounting and Connection
The reader generates a magnetic field with the frequency of 13.56MHz which is influenced by any
electrically conductive material in close proximity to the device. When mounting the unit, a
distance to any such material of minimum 10 cm is required to ensure that there will be no
significant degradation of the performance in terms of read range and reliability. Mounting the unit
directly to metal would result in a severe reduction of read range down to zero functionality. Care
should be taken when testing the device after mounting at a problematic environment: Read ranges
and performance vary from card to card and very much from card to tag or key-fob.
When mounting multiple readers, the distance between readers should be minimum 1 m in order to
avoid degradation of performance due to interference.
