Host Communication

Host communication comes through the 9-pin female D-sub

connector. Both RS-232 and RS-422 standards are supported as

ordered from the factory or service center

Power Requirements

Power comes in from 8 to 10 volts DC. The Fixed Reader uses

less than 2 amps. Intermec supplies 9 volts DC at 2.4 amps

from Intermec power supply, p/n: 351-066-001.

User I/O

A general purpose I/O (Input/Output) connector provides signal

lines in and out of the reader allowing monitoring and/or con-

trol of external devices or functions.

The connector for this is a 13-pin female circular DIN. The

mating male connector you need for mating with this is an In-

termec p/nL 351-184-001.

9, 10, 11, 12, 13 GROUND though individual 10 ohm resistors

Outputs and inputs have 12 volt transient suppression devices

to ground at the connector. Output signals are driven by

2N3904 NPN transistors (low level) with a 100 kohm pull--up

to +5 volts through a silicon diode, giving about a 4.3 volt high

level. An output can be pulled high from an external source as

high as 40 volts. This will however tend to pull the other out-

puts higher (through two 100k resistors). The low level will be

about 0.1 volt up to about 30 mA. The output low voltage will

ITRF91501 Reader Quick Start Guide

climb higher as the sink current increases. There is no protec-

tion on this. You need to ensure that their load won’t require

thereadertosinkmorethan50mA.

Input signals should be 0 to +1.5 volt for a low input and +3.5

to +5 volts for a high input. Each input has a 1.1 kohm resistor

in series with clamping diodes, but only about 1µA is used until

the input exceeds the 0 to +5 volt input range. There is also a

weak (100 kohm) pull--up to +5 volt on each input.

Connecting and Getting Started

WARNING: FCC regulations limit exposure to

radiofrequency (RF) radiation. To comply with

these regulations, operators of this device must

maintain a distance of at least 23 cm. (9.1

inches) from the cover on the antenna assembly

(The cover on the antenna is the dome shaped

surface). While the device is on, the operator’s

body and parts of the body such as eyes, hands,

or head, must be 23 cm. (9.1 inches) or farther

from the cover of the antenna assembly.

FCC regulations also require that the antenna

assembly of this device be installed in

accordance with the installation procedures to

allow the operator to comply with the limit.

Antenna Installation

Ensure that you read the above warning before installing the

antennas and using your Reader product.

ITRF91501 Reader Quick Start Guide

Front view of the antenna

1. Review the locations for your Reader products. Ensure

that you have carefully considered the safe distances for

product placement for workers and any other personnel

that may get in the RF path.

2. Place the radio and antennas with cabling are easily ac-

cessible for installation and troubleshooting.

3. Use the mounting bracket to attach the antenna to a

fixed surface.

4. Attach the antenna to one of the four antenna ports on

the back of the Reader.

The following illustrations are a couple of examples for Reader

installations.

EXAMPLE 1: Shipping Dock Door, showing two antennas at each

shipping door. Two antennas in a crossing pattern

provide angular diversity to improve read capability

when tag orientation is unknown.

WARNING: While the device is on, the operator’s body and

parts of the body such as eyes, hands, or head,

must be 23 cm. (9.1 inches) or farther from the

cover of the antenna assembly.

when tag orientation is unknown.

The frames for these stations are PVC tubing with RF reflec-

tive Mylar liner X2. Ensure that an 9.1 inch (23 cm) distance

from the antenna assembly is maintained to limit people’s ex-

posure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

parts of the body such as eyes, hands, or head,

must be 23 cm. (9.1 inches) or farther from the

Connecting the Antenna to the Reader

1. Connect antenna cable to a port.

2. Connect a reverse-sex SMA terminator (Intermec p/n

345-004-001) to any port that does not have an antenna

attached.

"NOTE: Each port must have either an antenna or a termina-

tor connected.

Problem Solution

Doesn’t recognize tag 1. Check to ensure antenna is connected

to jack on Reader.

2. Ensure Reader is connected to your

computer.

3. Ensure computer is plugged into ac

outlet and computer is turned on.

4. Ensure tag is within range of antenna.
