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

§ 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)
transponder1 and one Low Frequency (LF – single read) chip at the same time if you have a R­IN7500 Low Frequency reader connected on the Secondary Interface.

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS

1. Antenna:
Connect the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the connector marked as “1”

You can not use cable other than the 3.66m coaxial 50? cable supplied by

Datamars SA. Additional cables at disposal.

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

3. Power
Connect the power cable 110 – 240 V AC and be sure that it is well fixed.

4. Set the Power Switch to ON and check if the green LED (Power) is on.

5. Wait until lights “Tag” and “Antenna” stop flashing (~20 seconds).

Green light on

Installation & Operation Manual V 1.0 6 (19)

IMPORTANT:

Please place the antenna as far as possible from metallic surfaces to avoid possible reading
interferences and avoid to mount it in places where a regular ventilation is not granted.
If the light “Antenna” turns on, the antenna might be too close to metallic surfaces or not
tuned.
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.

In case you have an 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 Interface”.

If you have a new R-IN7500 NMS:

1. Connect the Low Frequency (LF) Antenna to the connector marked “Ant.0” on the reader

2. Connect a serial cable the connector “RS-232” mentioned on the R-IN7500 to the connector
“Secondary Interface” 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 or use a combo antenna (A-ST1330 CBO) to read LF and HF transponders at
the same time with the same antenna.

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.

4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR R-IN1300

4.1 OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

The DATAMARS SA RFID reader R-IN1300 is an integrated analog system for RFID- Applications
(RFID=radio frequency identification) which works at 13.56MHz. It allows to read data stored into ISO­RFID transponders or ISO-Labels at 13.56 MHz. Single- and Multiread operation are supported. The
communication between the reader and the transponder is based on the ISO 15693 (Part 1-3).

All transponders (contact less memories) are powered by a transmitted carrier radio wave at

13.56MHz and are compliant with the ISO 14443-B recommendation for the transfer of power and
signals via radio transmission. For this purpose the reader R-IN1300 amplitude modulates the data on
the carrier using amplitude shift keying (ASK) and the tag replies by load modulating the data on the
carrier.

Once the reader is connected to an appropriate client-network (via dedicated computer) it works
based on the installed software like a server providing the received data from the transponders to the
final client-application.

The service software helps to control and update the reader in a simple and user friendly way.
R-IN1300 supports different antennas as well as multiple configurations. Please ask for the complete

list of antennas at [e-mail].

6 TROUBLESHOOTING

If you run into any problem using your reader, use the following table to troubleshoot the problem. If
the problem persists, contact support at [e-mail] or [phone].

SYMPTOM CAUSE AND/OR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

• Is the antenna cable connected to the
reader?

• Is the antenna connected to the connector
named “1”?

There are transponders on the antenna but the
software displays no UID.

The red light “Antenna” is on.

• Are the transponders you want to read
specified in the options?

• Is the HF led on?

è If the four previous points didn’t solve the
problem turn the reader off, wait 10 seconds
before turning the reader on again

• Is the antenna connected to the right
connector?

è Verify the selected channel.

• Is the antenna placed near metallic objects?

è Move the antenna. Keep 1.5m distance from
any metallic objects.

Bad reading or low reading distance

The reader reads transponder (Tag LED lights
on) but the software displays no UID

• The antenna is near metallic objects or noise

source like electric motors?

è Try to move the antenna and the reader away
from these objects.

• Is the RS-232 cable well connected ti the

Host Interface?

• Is the software set 115200 bps – 8 – N – 1 –

N?

è Verify the connection

Installation & Operation Manual V 1.0 17 (19)

APPENDIX A - CODE LENGTH

In terminal mode you can configure the reader to return the UID code in 4 different formats:

1. *cl0:
standard 16 characters UID

2. *cl2:
The reader returns only the right most 12 digits of the original 16 digit UID.

With this format it is not possible to guaranty the uniqueness of the codes !

3. *cl3:
The reader returns 12 digits code in the fashion of “cl2”, but in this case the first (left) chapter
ranges from “G” to “Z” instead of from “0” to “F”.

With this format it is not possible to guaranty the uniqueness of the codes !

APPENDIX B - I/O PIN CONFIGURATION

A B D C E F G H J K L M T U N V P R S

BINARY INPUTS:

There are 2 binary inputs 5-48 VDC available for customer specific needs. The inputs are isolated
through galvanic opto-couplers.

BINARY OUTPUTS:
Digital Outputs:

There are 7 digital npn-Open-Collector
outputs available: G, H, J, K, N, P, and R.
The 'open collector' output is the
unconnected Collector of an NPN transistor,
made available to the external circuitry that
switches to ground when active. This type
of output can be used with a pull-up resistor
to translate a logic level from one voltage to
another or to drive lamps, relays etc, that
have a positive voltage on one terminal and
require a switch to ground to activate.
All of them are software configurable. The
maximum output current is 500mA. See
picture example.

Relais:

There is a dry free contact (L and M) to
control higher loads which can be controlled
via software.
