1 INTRODUCTION

The Datamars R-IN1300 High Frequency (HF) RFID-reader, designed to work in industrial environment, is resistant to
vibrations, electromagnetic interferences and is able to detect the following transponder technologies:

 T-BT 1320 & T-BT1315 (ISO 15693), HF
 I-Code 1, HF
 T-BT 7xxx serie, LF (only with Datamars R-IN7500 reader connected externally)
 Other types of transponders could be read in “Combo” mode.

The reader is able to find simultaneously more than one High Frequency (HF - multi read) transponder
Frequency (LF – single read) chip at the same time if you have a R-IN7500 Low Frequency reader connected externally.

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS

1. Antenna:

Connect the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the connector marked as “HF Antenna”

2. PC/Terminal

Connect the serial white cable from the connector marked “Host interface” to any serial port (COM) on your PC

3. Power

Connect the power cable 100 – 240 V AC and be sure that it is well fixed.

4. Turn the reader on an check if the green LED (Power) is on.

IMPORTANT:

Please place the antenna as far as possible from metallic surfaces to avoid possible reading interferences and
avoid mounting in places where a regular ventilation is not granted. After the reader is turned on for some time the
temperature might increase.

Do not plug/unplug any connectors while the reader is turned ON.

Installation & Operation Manual V 1.5 4 (23)

In case you have a R-IN7500 LF reader installed you can keep the same configuration. You just need to unplug the serial
cable from the PC and connect it to the R-IN1300 reader to the connector marked as “ Secondary Reader”.

If you have a new R-IN7500 NMS:

1. Connect the Low Frequency (LF) Antenna to the connector marked “Ant.1” on the reader

2. Connect a serial cable the connector “RS-232” mentioned on the R-IN7500 to the connector “R-IN7500”

mentioned on the R-IN1300 reader .

3. Connect the power cable

4. Turn the reader on

Keep a distance between the LF and the HF antenna (min. 1m) in order to not influence the reading

distance.

2.1 MOUNTING

The reader can be simply laid down on the table or be mounted on the wall or under a table using the appropriate wall
mounting system.
