2.4. Basic Connections
Connecting the MR 100 to your system is fairly easy and includes a simple two step process:
 Connect the MR 100 to the device you plan to use with the reader using the JST 14-Pin Connector. Depending
on the device you wish to connect to you should select between the RS 232 / TTL interfaces before ordering
your MR 100.
 Connect the MR 100 antenna port to your antenna: If you are using a MR 100 with a dual antenna port
connect one to a transmitting and 1 to a receiving antenna. If you are using a MR 100 with a single antenna
port connect the antenna port to the antenna – in this case the single antenna acts as a transmitting and
receiving antenna. Your choice of antenna will vary depending upon the read write distance that you want with
your MR-100. e.g. For a typical read range of 10’ and a write range of 4’ an antenna of 6dBi gain must be
selected.
