MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface 6. Installing the RM100 RFID reader This chapter describes how to install and set-up the RM100 reader. 6.1 Before You Start When first opening the packing carton, check the equipment for any visible signs of damage. Ensure that none of the connectors have loosened during shipping. If any damage is visible, please make a complete record and notify the shipper immediately. Save the packing material for possible use later. 6.1.
MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface 6.2 Hardware Requirements 6.2.1 Power supply The RM100 module was designed to run either from a 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery or from a 3.2V to 4.2Vdc power source. The maximum current requirement is 1.5A 6.2.2 Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) The RM100 module uses asynchronous communication to communicate to 3rd party equipment. The baud rate, parity and data bits are user selectable, with 38400,E,8 shipped as the default values.
MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface 6.4 Installing the software Insert the CD-ROM into drive. Under windows select “Run” “Browse” from the start menu Choose setup.exe from the CD-ROM and follow the easy steps displayed on the PC 6.5 Installing the Patch Antennas The RM100 Module can operate from a single antenna (combining with a circulator) or from a dual antenna set.
MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface 6.5.2 Single Antenna in handheld configuration As mentioned before, the RM100 module uses a circulator to combine the transmitter and receiver RF ports to a single antenna port. The same rules on minimum operation distance apply for the single antenna configuration RM100 Module inside Single antenna + circulator UHF RFID Handheld device Project - RFID ID1170 Version 0.

MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface 8. Description 8.1 RFID Reader The Reader can be divided into two sections namely: 1) Receiver and 2) Transmitter Both the receiver and transmitter share a local oscillator drive to ensure that all signals are in phase with each other. The synthesiser is programmed by the CPU to hop between 902 and 928 MHz. The Synthesizer incorporates a phase lock loop as well as a local oscillator, with an output of –5dBm.
