0039A02C-253/IDE-SD-MIF-AGFA

REVISION 1.0, 2008-04-02

The IDE_SD_MIF_AGFA is a RFID Read-/Write-Device (short: reader) which is compatible to all

Mifare cards. The reader also supports ISO14443A/B and ISO15693 and all cards compliant to

these standards. It provides a serial interface RS232 to output or exchange data with a host

computer and a 13,56MHz inductive interface to supply power to and exchange data with the

Mifare/ISO compliant card (or other available form-factors such as tags, key-fobs).

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 0.5 m in order

to avoid degradation of performance due to interference.

To connect the device to a Host computer, please make sure the host system provides an 6-pin plug

connector intended for connection of the reader

Operation

Whenever the device is connected to a proper power supply, it will switch on the internal antenna

and periodically scan for a card. Once a card has been detected, the card number is read, the data

converted and sent to the host system through the serial interface. To enable the device to read

cards, tags and key-fobs successfully, they should be placed centred above the reader.
