6. Functional description
6.1 General information
LF reading devices are radio frequency identification systems that use radio transmission to read
or write data of LF transponders (134,2 kHz), which operate as tamper-proof electronic tags. The
LF reading devices communicate with common transponders (134,2kHz) according to ISO 18000-2
and ISO 11785 that are available on the market.
The data is transmitted via the existing interface with the preset transmission parameters. If several interfaces are available and connected to the host, the transmission is always carried out on the
most recently used interface. The data is embedded in a defined communication protocol and
exchanged between the reader and host.
6.2 Basic functions - operating modes
During normal operation, the LF reading device supports various basic functions:
• Heartbeat function, software version query
• Scanning of transponders in the antenna area (UID)
• Reading data
• Writing data
• Locking data
• Setting and reading out parameters
• Setting and querying inputs and outputs
The LF devices can be set in 3 other operating modes by setting the parameters: Polling operation
(optional), sensor-triggered automatic reading and test mode.
6.2.1 Normal operation
During normal operation, the LF reading device is immediately ready for operation after a reset. It
does not perform any automatic actions in this mode (standby). During normal operation, actions are
triggered by protocol commands from the host.
A scanning procedure or reading in the data area is initiated by a command of the host system
using the communication protocol.¬
In addition to the actions triggered by the host, a corresponding message can be automatically sent
to the host and an automatic reading operation can be started by activating or releasing a sensor.
When the reading operation is successful, the read data is immediately transmitted to the host. If
several antenna ports are occupied simultaneously, the reading operations are processed sequentially.
Writing actions (data saved to a transponder) are generally only possible via commands from the
host.
6.2.2 Polling mode
LF reading devices can be set into a continuous reading state, which is referred to as
polling mode. The device then performs reading operations at regular intervals and
outputs the corresponding data of the read LF transponder.
The reading device also continues carrying out protocol messages in polling mode. This
may, however, result in delays in the poll rhythm. The polling functionality is optional
customer-specific available!

The HERMOS LF reading devices support a test mode that facilitates setting up the antenna and
checking the reading ranges during commissioning. HF reading devices feature several DIP switches on the housing. These switches can be used to activate test mode.
The functions in test mode are described on a sticker located on the reading device housing. The
evaluation of the DIP switch depends on parameters
If the device is in test mode, the red status LED flashes at about 1 Hz. The yellow status LED then
indicates the status of the test mode. If the read or write process was unsuccessful, the yellow LED
flashes at the read or write frequency. If the read or write process is successful, the yellow LED
remains permanently lit.
With the existing I / O module, HERMOS LF readers with ASC-W1 protocol also show the successful or incorrect reading of the transponder at the respective first output port. See also behavior of
the output ports in test mode.

Component
Description
Power supply
connection
Three-pin socket for the connection of the 24V DC power supply.
Power-LED
The power LED indicates that the operating voltage is present and
the rea- ding device is ready for operation.
Status-LEDs
The two status LEDs are used for the reading and writing feedback in
test and polling mode. If the device is in test mode, the red status
LED flashes at about 1 Hz. The yellow status LED then indicates the
status of the test mode. If the read or write process was
unsuccessful, the yellow LED flas- hes at the read or write frequency.
If the read or write process is successful, the yellow LED remains
permanently lit.
In normal operation, if an error occurs, the display of this
occurs via the red LED:
Red LED constantly on: read error (no tag)
red LED flashing rapidly: antenna error (tuning, cable
break). This display will reset automatically with the next
valid reading.
After a restart, a short self-test of the LEDs, then display of the
protocol: SECS: The red LED goes on briefly
ASCII: The yellow LED goes on briefly
DIP-switch
DIP-switch 4 starts an automatic antenna
tuning. DIP-switch 3 activates a test
mode.
DIP-switch 1 and 2 serve the antenna selection.
Ethernet interface
The reading device features an Ethernet interface depending on the
de- vice model. The communication with the device can be carried
out via the 10/100 BaseT interface.
RS232 interface
Depending on the device model, the reading device features a RS232
in- terface. The communication with the device can be carried out via
the serial interface (9-pin Sub D)

- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) warns the users that changes or
modifications to the unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure statement (mobile and fixed devices)
This device complies with the RF exposure requirements for mobile and fixed devices. However, the
device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal
operation is minimized.
- FCC §15.105 (a):
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

The unit is exclusively designed for indoor use in an industrial
environment. The unit may only be installed indoors with a temperature
and humidity level with in the range of the specified technical module
parameters.
Never use the unit near or in water.
Never pour liquids of any type over the unit. However, if the unit
should still come in contact with liquid, disconnect it and have it
checked by a technician.
Do not install the device near heat sources such as radiators, heat
regis- ters, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that
generate heat.
Do not install the unit in a flammable environment.
Never expose the device to extreme temperature fluctuations,
since con- densation otherwise develops inside the unit and
causes damages.
Do not install the device in the vicinity of voltage lines or other power
lines with which they could collide (for example, drilling), which could
result in serious injuries or even death.
The device (especially the antenna) should not be installed in the
immediate vicinity of electrical equipment such as medical
devices, monitors, telephones, TV sets and magnetic disks, and
metal objects.
This could result in reduced read and write ranges.
Never use the unit in explosive areas (such as paint warehouses).
Do not use the device in areas where it is exposed to vibrations or
shocks.
The installation location must be adequately illuminated during the
installation.
Never install the unit during a lightning storm.
7. Installation

When installing the antenna, observe the required reading and
writing ranges. The reading device can only be used properly
if the transponder is located within the reading and writing range of the
antenna.
7.5 Installing the antenna
7.5.1 Positioning the antenna
The removal and alignment of the transponder tot he antenna is critical to ensure reliable
reading and writing. The following diagram displays the optimum alignment and position of
the transponder to the antenna. After positioning, the antenna must be tuned to the
ambient conditions.
The tuning function can be started with the DIP switch 4.
Transponder parallel to the antenna axis:
Transponder vertical to the antenna axis:
Transponder is outside the
antenna range
Transponder is within the
antenna range
Transponder is outside the
antenna range
Transponder is within the
antenna range
