Module version with asynchronous RS232- and USB-Interface;

2. Performance Features of the Reader

The Reader ID ISC.MRMU102 is designed for reading of passive data carriers, so-called „Smart
Labels“ at an operating frequency in the UHF band between 860 MHz and 960 MHz. Transponders
according to EPC Class1 Gen2 are supported. Optional an Upgrade Code for the reading of ISO
18000-6-C transponders is available. The reader is designed for application with small tag popula­tion.

The reader module is equipped with 3 SMA connectors for conduction of external antennas (ANT1
– ANT3). Additional an integrated antenna (ANT4) is available.

For Host communication the reader provides an asynchronous RS232 interface and an USB inter­face.

The reader is designed for use in applications with small tag populations. Maximum 10 tags at the
same time into the antenna field can be processed.

2.1. Available Reader Types

The following reader types are currently available:

4.1.2. Internal Antenna ANT 4

Additionally the reader is equipped with an internal antenna (ANT4). The internal antenna supports
far field transponders as well as near field transponders. The internal antenna is located in the bot­tom left corner of the housing and is marked with an antenna symbol. The maximum read range of
the antenna in combination with a far field transponder is approx. 40 cm. In combination with a
near field transponder the maximum read range is approx. 5 cm.

4.2. Power Supply via Connector X1

The reader needs to be supplied by an external voltage of 12 V DC to 24 V DC. Connect the 12 ­24 V DC/

NOTE:
Reversing the polarity of the supply voltage may destroy the device.

The unit has to supplied by a listed NEC Class 2/LPS Power supply, only
