Revision 9/21 Section 1 – General Information This manual provides information pertaining to the installation and operation of the Model HF-3020 13.56 MHz Reader. This series of Readers is available as a single piece solution Reader + internal Antenna in enclosure, or Reader with external Antenna as a two piece solution, or as board level PCBA components.
Revision 9/21 Tag Memory Generally, HF RFID passive Tag chips, containing a EEPROM with encoded data, have no finite life for read only operations and a finite life of 100k writes. There exist a plethora of HF Tag chips available on the market, thus Tag memory is not discussed in detail herein. RFID, Inc. can provide a specific memory organization map dependent upon the chip and size of memory you intend to use. Data is represented in Hexadecimal and each byte will appear as two characters.
Revision 9/21 Here is an example of a memory map for a 1k bit (1024 bits) Tag Block Byte 0 (LSB) Byte 3 (MSB) -4 UID0 UID1 UID2 UID3 -3 UID4 UID5 UID6 UID7 -2 Reserved for Control Bytes -1 Reserved for Write Access 0 32 bit data, 8 bytes 1 32 bit data, 8 bytes 2 32 bit data, 8 bytes 3 32 bit data, 8 bytes 4 32 bit data, 8 bytes ……. ……………………………..
Revision 9/21 Specifications The USB version of this Reader is powered over USB.
Revision 9/21 Antenna Connection Readers with the Antenna mounted in the enclosure incorporate a pre-connected Antenna. Readers in an enclosure for use with an external Antenna have an SMA connector ready for adaptation. Readers at a PCB level have 2 connection points for co-axial cable as shown below for Antenna connection.

Revision 9/21 Section 2 - Quick Start Installation Guide Reading Mode This Reader has three reading modes, commands for selecting these modes are detailed in section 3: Single Tag Report Mode - meaning a Tag’s base memory (UID) will be read and reported once. The Reader is defaulted to the Single Read Mode although any change will be held in non-volatile memory. Duplicate Tag Report Mode - meaning a Tag’s base memory will be continually read and reported.
Revision 9/21 (3) Execute the RFIDIncUHFTerm Program. Select “Scan Ports” found upper right. This allows the program to scan which port address is connected to the Reader. In the upper left, under “Ports” use the pull down menu to choose the port discovered. (4) Set the baud rate and remaining communication settings, default is 115200 baud, 8 data bits, None Parity, 1 stop bit and None Flow Control (115200, 8, N, 1, N).
Revision 9/21 Section 3 - Operating the Reader This section explains operational commands and input received back from the Reader, commands, operating modes, and responses. Note: All commands are issued in ASCII CAPITAL letters, and they are preceded by an open square bracket and ended with a closed square bracket. Some symbols and all numbers are permitted. No spaces are permitted.
Revision 9/21 Single Mode Command - [S] This command causes the reader to enter SINGLE MODE. In this mode the reader will only report the Tag ID once when it arrives within antenna range. The Reader continues to read the ID but does not report it again. As long as a Tag is continually present to the Reader only 1 read will be reported however if the Tag leaves the Reader’s RF field briefly and is re-presented the read will be re-reported.
Revision 9/21 Tag Data = Response = Carriage Return or Reader Response: e Where: = Line Feed e = Response indicating no Tag is present = Carriage Return Version Request Command - [I] This command request the Reader’s firmware version. Host: [I] Where: I = command Reader Response: Version 1.08 (example) Where: = Line Feed Version 1.
Revision 9/21 Write Page – [WXXDDDDDDDD] Where XX = Page, DDDD… = Data in Hex Enter the W command followed by a two digit page number and 8 digits of data to write (data must be hexadecimal values).
Revision 9/21 Reader Responses: 05 1234123412341234 e Where: = Line Feed 05 1234123412341234 = page address and data held in that page = Carriage Return Write Page – [WXXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD] Where XX = Page, DDDD… = Data in Hex To use this command you must first have previously selected the Tag with command 0 and successfully entered the password with command 1. Enter the W command followed by a two digit page number and 16 digits of data to write, data must be hexadecimal values.
Revision 9/21 Ensure the Reader is in the correct Tag Mode specific to your specific ISO Tags, for example 15693. Change the Tag Mode using the [B] command. The LED is on and blinks when a Tag is presented but I see no data on my PC. Ensure communications are established by re-powering the Reader (RS232 only) and looking for a startup message or enter an invalid command which should bring the response of a question mark (?).
