1 INTRODUCTION

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

 T-BT 1320 & T-BT1315 (ISO 15693), HF

The reader is able to find simultaneously more than one High Frequency (HF - multi read)
transponder

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS

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

You can not use cable other than the 3.5m coaxial 50Ω cable supplied by

Datamars. Additional extension cables at disposal.

2. PC/Terminal or Ethernet
Connect the serial white cable from the connector marked “Host” to any serial port (COM) on
your PC or the reader “R-IN 1300 MID” can be connected to the LAN just like a PC (Ethernet
cable & RJ-45 connectors).

A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN 1300 MID” reader is also possible, with
an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more
details on how to do this.

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 light “Tag” stop flashing (~20 seconds).

R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 4 (29)

Green light on

IMPORTANT:

 Please place the antenna as far as possible from metal surfaces to avoid possible

reading interferences and avoid mounting it in places where 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.

3 OPERATION WITH TERMINAL

For operation with terminal use any kind of terminal, e.g. Windows HyperTerminal with the following
settings:

• Bits per second 115200

• Data bits 8

• Parity None

• Stop bits 1

• Flow control None

3.1 LIST OF THE COMMANDS OF THE READER

All commands must be followed by a carriage return (ENTER).

General Commands

*d Detect:

*i Interrupts any continuous mode operation (does not disable the

*x List of the commands and settings
*v Firmware Version

*se Settings:

*st Store UIDs

*dw Download UIDs (this command is coupled with *st – see above)

Explanation

returns the UID-list of all the HF transponders in the field
continuous mode)

Displays the current settings (Notice that the settings are maintained
after power off)

Usage: with the command “*st” switch from the state “Store UIDs off” to the state
“Store UIDs on”. Then start reading with the command “*d”. The detected tags are
not sent to the output devices but are cumulated internally. Using now the command
“*dw” the reading process is stopped and the cumulated detected UIDs are sent to the
output devices all at once.

3.2 GENERIC SETTINGS

General settings

*rd Restore default settings

*co[_] Continuous mode:

*rh[_] Remove headers:

R-IN1300 MID Manual – v. 1.2 – August ‘08 6 (29)

Explanation

Any previously user defined settings will be deleted and re-

placed by factory defaults.
Confirmation: “Default settings restored”
*co1 continuous mode on (default)

*co0 continuous mode off
*rh0 does not remove the headers

*rh1 removes the headers (default)

*ec[_] Echo:

*ec0 echo disabled (default)
*ec1 echo enabled
“echo” makes it possible to view the characters sent to the reader.

*sa[_] Stand alone mode:

*sa0 stand alone mode disabled (default)
*sa1 stand alone mode enabled (detect)
When stand alone mode is enabled, the device will start reading
as soon as it is turned on.

*nl[_] New Line character(s) selection:

*nl0 line feed and carriage return (0x0D 0x0A) (default)
*nl1 line feed (0x0A)
*nl2 carriage return (0x0D)
*nl3 carriage return and line feed(0x0A 0x0D)

*pw[_] Output power:

*pw[0 .. 4000] range of power from 0 to 4000 mW (default 2000
mW)

- Example *pw2000
The selected output power is an approximate value.

*dt[_] Time between UIDs:

This parameter inserts a time delay between the transmission of
codes.
*dt[0..200] range of time between UIDs from 0 to 200 units
