About the IM4
The Intermec IM4 module is designed to let you easily incorporate reading
and writing RFID tags into your computers, printers, and other mobile
devices.The IM4 is an enhanced Intermec replacement for the existing IM3
module and the RFID PC card.
IM4 Module
The IM4 is a PCMCIA Type II card package with a standard 68-pin
connector. You can use the IM4 in most worldwide RFID applications.
Intermec versions of the IM4 cover the UHF band from 865 MHz to 928
MHz.
When integrated into your computer, the IM4 connector functions as
either a PC card module (default) or as a serial module.
Note that the IM4:
• has different pinouts functioning as a PC card module versus a serial
module. To use the IM4 as a serial module, you need to tie to ground
pins 7, 44, and 45.
• may have heat dissipation requirements. In most situations, the IM4
Overtemperature mode adequately protects against very high
temperatures. However, if you use the IM4 in a high duty-cycle
application, you may want to attach a heatsink.
• has certain power requirements. The PC card slot must be able to
supply power for the card. Most laptop PC card slots do not supply
enough power.
• has antenna connector requirements for its one antenna.
