User Manual

1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
We want to thank you for purchasing this Standalone Reader.
With this unit you have acquired a product built to the latest state of engineering. Its operation is simple and
easily understood. Nevertheless please read this Operation Manual carefully for optimum utilization of all of its
features.
2. Intended Use
The intended use of this Standalone Reader is the acquisition of transponder data by use of an Antenna
Module. These data will be compared by the Standalone Reader with the transponder data stored in an
internal EEPROM. If any one of the stored transponder numbers is recognized the Reader will switch an
output.
Any use other than the one pointed out above is not admissible.
Design and construction of this Module correspond to all European and national requirements for Electro
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). The unit carries the CE-Sign, the conformity has been proven. All appropriate
commentaries and records are in the possession of the manufacturer.
3. Safety Instructions
Important Informations on the Reader Module:
• In conjunction with the Reader Module the Antenna builds a tank circuit creating high voltage at the
antenna terminals. Please avoid any contact to these antenna terminals during operation of the Reader
and especially keep children at a safe distance from the device.
• The RF Reader Family has not been designed to safely lock or secure doors. During prolonged absence
from any room made accessible by a Reader the door must therefore further be locked by means of the
original key.
• In order to guarantee sabotage safe operation do in any case mount the Reader’s electronic circuit -
unreachable for non-authorized persons - inside of the building.
• We cannot take liability for damages caused by improper and/or careless handling of RF Reader products.
For use with the RF Readers specific Transponders suitable for these Readers
are necessary.
Notes on Installation of the Reader Modules:
• The Modules are considered Reading and Controlling Devices of Mode of Operation Typ 1 according to EN
60730 (VDE 0631).
• When installing the Reader and Antenna Modules ensure a clean and dry environment.
• The individual Modules must be dry and free of dust.
• For protection of the power supply line use a slow-acting 2.5 A fuse.
• In case a bell transformer is used to provide the necessary power to the Reader Modules of the RF Reader
it has to correspond with the requirements according to EN 61558-2-8 (DIN VDE 0570 Part 2-8: Special
requirements for bell and ringer transformers).
Notes on Placing and Mounting the Reader Modules:
When mounting Reader and Antenna the following guidelines have to be observed:
• Metallic objects must not be placed between Antenna and Transponder.
• The Antenna should be mounted on non-metallic material (wood, concrete) at a minimum distance of 3
cm from any metallic object.
• The connecting line of the Antenna must not be of any length in excess of 1.5 m. Otherwise the reading
distance stated for the Reader Modules in Section 12. Technical Specifications cannot be guaranteed.
• The connecting line of the Antenna must not be mounted in the immediate proximity of any other line
carrying electric current.
• Two or more connecting lines of any Antennas must not be mounted side by side.
• When mounting several RF Readers inferences of Modules among each other can be avoided if
a minimum distance of approximately 1 m is kept between Reading devices.
