1-2.2. Description
The Tag Reader has a modern, stylish-look, with a clean panel, which includes two indicators
(green and red) and a large LCD. Its operation is very simple: to start a fuel purchase, the cus
waves the tag or card in front of the unit. After the tag is recognized and validated, clear messages
shown on the display guide the customer and help him to complete the transaction. In addition to
the LCD, an internal buzzer beeps to provide audio feedback and the status of the current operation
is indicated by the green and red indicators.
One or several TRs can be installed in a single station for improved service. In this case, all TRs in
the station should be connected to the same single CFN PLUS (e.g. Fuel Truck Controller or others)
via RS-485.connection.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1-3.1. Main Features
The TR is based on advanced technology, implemented by two microcomputer subsystems: one for
handling the secure communication protocol with the tag/card, and the other for communication
with the station Controller and for controlling the operation of TR.
The Tag Reader includes a single cable carrying power and RS485 communication.
The Tag Reader user interface (UI) can easily be adapted to the customer requirements. For
flexibility, the Tag Reader uses a standard communication protocol, and the displayed messages are
controlled by the station Controller.
The message contents and language can be selected by the system operator, and the microcomputer
application software can be updated in the field.
1-3.2. Supported Cards/Tags Options
Tag Reader has several configurations and can support various cards and tags, including: MiFare,
magnetic fuel and fleet cards and optional payment contact less cards.
1-3.2.1. MiFare Tag/Card
This is a contact less card that can be used as a fueling card by the driver at the gas station. When
the card is presented next to the TR, it reads the card / tag data and transmits it to the station controller
in the gas station. Upon verification and approval, the station Controller activates and releases the pump
valve, so fuel can be dispense to the vehicle.
Four types of tags are recognized:
Driver’s tag: this tag is used to identify a specific driver. Therefore, fuel dispensing is
allowed only after the vehicle has been identified by means of its Vehicle Identification Unit
(VIU).
Vehicle’s tag: this tag is used to authorize fuel dispensing and charging.
Attendant’s tag: permits operation of any fuel nozzle from the TR, by a station attendant.
Technician tag: this tag is used to setup TR RS-485 address, as explained in para. 1-3.4.
Figure 1-2. MiFare Tag, General view

Tag Reader Installation Guide
1-3.2.2. Magnetic Stripe Fuel Cards
If the TR is equipped with an optional magnetic card reader, at the right-hand side of the unit, the
driver can use a magnetic stripe card.
A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data. The magnetic stripe is read by
physical contact and swiping past a reading head.
The driver may have a vehicle fuel card or personal driver card.
1-3.2.3. Payment Contact Less Cards (optional)
Payment contactless cards such as the PayPass® cards enable the driver to pay using a standard
credit or debit card which has contact less capabilities.
This allows the home-base station to be semi-public and accept payment from occasional customers
and process the transaction through the bank or local processing network.
TR has an optional PayPass reader to support these types of cards
1-3.3. Serial Communication Interface
The TR has a balanced bidirectional RS-485 communication interface, which connects to the CFN
PLUS of the gas station or tanker truck.
This interface is used to communicate with the station controller.
The power and communication cable has five wires: two power supply wires, two wires for the
communication interface and one Ground Wire (see
Figure 1-3).

1-3.4. Assigning Tag Reader RS-485 Address
1-3.5. Assigning TR RS-485 Address
To enable communication with the station controller, the TR must be assigned a unique RS-485
address. This address must be selected by the system operator, during the planning stages of the
system installation or upgrading.
The RS-485 address of the TR can be programmed in two ways:
Contact less mode: the address is selected using the Technician tag. The selection is
performed using a simple interactive process: The Technician tag is brought close to be read
by the TR, which then starts sequentially displaying the addresses in the allowed range.
When the prescribed address is displayed, the Technician tag is removed.
By a PC directly connected to TR RS-485 interface.
