RFM-S Transmitter Field Testing Guide

With Warning Statements

Confidential

A. Set Up TTS Reader:

Serial Comms: RS-232 19200 baud No Parity etc. standard stuff. The cable (null modem) runs out the top of the reader; connect to any DB-9 port on your host computer. Use a Straight through cable (male-female) if you need to extend the length.

B. Set up TTS with RFM-S Transmitter:

The RFM-S Transmitter must be inserted in Slot #1 (the left most) of the RF Rack.

C. List of Commands: (power on default)

IAGTEST Help Menu - NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE PT <2-28 hex #> - Program Tag, MASK data must match RT - Read Tag IP - Initialize Tag (FP ff's) FP <2-28 hex #> - Factory Program Tag, MSb must be 1 LP <2-28 hex #> - Lock Program Tag, MSb must be 1 TP <6 hex #> - Trim Program Tag, MSB (FF), IDLE(XX), ACTIVE(XX) (with VERIFY ON, FP is performed with TP data) TL - Lock Trim Values in Tag IC [<#>] - Iteration Count, # of triggers per RT/PT PW [<#>] us - Pulse Width, either 20, 33 or 40 us REPEAT [<#>] - Repeat Count, repeat PT/RT/FP/TP # times - ESC to stop DELAY [<#>|OFF] - Repeat Delay, repeat cycle delay, OFF for no screen updates DETAIL [ON |OFF] - Repeat Detail ON/OFF, show full data during repeat cycles INC [ON |OFF] - Repeat Increment ON/OFF, increment last 4 bytes during PT STAT [ON |OFF] - Repeat Statistics ON/OFF, displays on last cycle VERIFY [ON |OFF] - IP/FP/LP/TP Verify ON/OFF (PT always verifies) PD [<#>] - Program Delay. TXDATA delay between TRIGGER and IP/FP/LP/TP data (NOT header): # us = ~ PD x 2.4 + 60 ex. 250 (default) = ~ 660 us (nominal) CONFIG - Return Configuration Summary

D. Procedure to test and activate RFM-S:

In idle mode the reader generates NO RF. (RFM-S transmitter light off). To turn on the RFM-S transmitter do the following:

1) Set the iteration count to a large number ( IC 1000 )

2) Issue a read transponder command ( RT )

The iteration count is the number of 20 microsecond trigger pulses the reader will issue for every RT command.

for ic=1000 the reader will transmit for about 6-7 seconds. for ic=2000 the time is around 13 seconds. Max is 32767

Ignore all other commands.

E. Example:

ic 1000 //user input IC=1000 //reader confirms

rt //user input READ ERROR //after 1000 trigger pulses (about 6 secs later) reader //responds with "READ ERROR" since (we assume) no transponder //has been read.

(The iteration count is persistent. It remains the same unless changed or the reader is reset).

F. Warning Statement:

This device complies with Part 90 of the FCC Rules. Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer may invalidate the user’s authority to operate the equipment
