SARS MP9111 Owner's Manual About the SARS MP9111 The MP9111 is one of the most advanced 125 KHz proximity readers in the industry. This multi-protocol device supports many of today’s most popular RID tags including: + Oatmeal (Te mic) 5550 « EM Marin H4102 *» Texas Instruments IRIS The MP9111 also supports anti-collision tag protocols including: * EM 4025 + Philips Hi tag 1 The MP9111 recognizes multiple protocols simultaneously during operation.
Applications The MP9111 can be used in a stand-alone type operation, where the application is built into the reader. The reader can also be used in a network of SARS readers connected to a concentration for warehouse tracking or similar applications. Figure 2: SARS Reader Network In all of these cases, the reader can be used as an OEM board within the enclosure of other equipment or with its own enclosure.
SARS MP9111 Owner's Manual Physical Description The MP9111 consists of an RF reader board housed in an ABS plastic case. The board contains the microprocessor, RF circuits, and the digital signal processing circuits. The integral antenna is embedded in the board. Figure 3: Reader Board and Enclosure warehouse, and light manufacturing areas.
SARS MP9111 Owner's Manual The reader board contains four LED indicators to provide the operational status of the reader. The LED are visible on the front panel of the reader.
SARS MPO111 Owner's Manual The reader also has four power and communication interface connectors on the end panel.
Installation This chapter provides information for installing the SARS MP9111. Topics discussed in this chapter include the following: .

SARS Reader for other device) < ( ~Ig| JIG-o— To set up a reader network with RS-232 communications, perform the following steps: o ¢ 1. Insert the 9-pin male plug on the RS-232 cable into the 9-pin female connector on the end panel of the reader. 2. Insert the 9-pin female plug into the 9-pin serial port other device.
3. 4. SARS MP8111 Owner's Manual Insert the AC adapter into a power outlet. Insert the power supply cable into the power connector. Refer to the Samson Multi-Protocol Reader Programmer's Guide for more information on configuring your reader. RS-485 Communication Setup The MP9111 communicates with the Samson Interrogator Control and Concentration Module (ICC) using an RS-485 interface.
SARS MP8111 Owner's Manual N REBEL Cable Foreseen Cord Figure 7: Cable Installation Digital (TTL) Input/Output Setup The MP9111 is equipped with a digital I/O port that provides four logic-level (TTL) input signals and four output signals. This port can be programmed for specific applications using the FORTH interpreter built into the reader.
Operation This chapter provides general information to operate the MPS111.
SARS MP9111 Owner's Manual Reader Power Up ‘When the power supply is connected, the reader produces an extended beep while each LED indicator flashes briefly in sequence. The reader is operational when the Power and Transmit LED remain on, Figure 8: LED Indicators Reader Operational Reading Tags After power up, the reader begins transmitting at the specified frequency. When a tag is placed within range, the reader activates the tag and reads the data. The Sense LED flashes when the tag is successfully read.
SARS MP9111 Owner's Manual Operation with the ICC The ICC provides greater flexibility for accessing readers. With the ICC, you can access your RID data with your own client/ server applications, perform administrative functions from an easy to-use Web interface, perform debug activities on your readers remotely, and much more. The ICC also has a VGA touch screen LCD. The LCD can be used to provide an operator interface for applications running directly on the ICC.
