Model 811

Operation/Service Manual

1.0 Welcome to the Model 811

The Model 811 is a high speed, compact RFID tag dispenser and
applicator that is compatible with a full range of MARKEM products.

1.1 What is in this Manual?

The Model 811 manual addresses the basic installation, operation
and care of the RFID tag dispenser , as well as safety, maintenance,
troubleshooting, and service information.

1.2 Glossary

active tags – tags that use batteries as a source of power (can be

either partial or complete power); there are tags with replaceable
batteries and tags that have the batteries inside a sealed unit –
sometimes called unitized active tags

addressability – ability to address bits, fields, files or other portions
of storage in a tag

AK – “Acknowledge” communications response
antenna – conductive elements that radiate and/or receive energy

in the radio frequency spectrum to or from the tag

SECTION 1 General Information

bi-directional – a tag that can be read or written from either side
capacity – amount of bits or bytes that can be programmed into a

tag; these may be bits accessible to the user, or the total number,
including those reserved for the manufacturer (such as parity or
control bits)

converted RFID – Assembly of an inlay sandwiched between an
adhesive and substrate (usually paper stock) which is then die cut
into a specified size

dispenser – the enclosure that houses the electronics, LUI,
mechanical components, and tape drive system.

electronic tag – a tag that has an electronic RFID tag embedded
within it

EMC – electromagnetic compatibility
frequency – number of times a signal makes a complete pass

through its maximum and minimum values and returns to the same
value (cycles)

gap - the distance between tags (or labels) on the liner (or backing),
measured from the bottom of one tag to the top of the next tag

inlay - an RFID microchip attached to an antenna and mounted on a
substrate; essentially an unfinished RFID label

10008547aa 06/06 m® 1–1

SECTION 1 General Information

LUI – Local User Interface; keypad on the Model 811
misread – a condition that exists when the data presented by the

reader does not match the corresponding data in the tag

NAK – “Negative Acknowledge” communications response
passive tags – An RFID tag without a battery. When radio waves

from the reader or programmer reach the chip's antenna, the energy
is converted by the antenna into electricity that can power up the
microchip in the tag. The tag is able to send back information stored
on the chip.

programming – adding information to or altering a tag
programmability – data and identification information must be

entered into tags in order for them to become identifiers of specific
objects; this capability is called programmability

programmer – tag contents can be changed by a set of electronics
in close proximity or in electrical contact with them; those electronics
and their packaging are called a programmer

RFID – Radio Frequency IDentification. A method of identifying
unique items using radio waves. Typically, a reader communicates
with a tag, which holds digital information in a microchip.

RFID tag: see tag
range – distance at which successful reading and/or writing can be

attained
read – decoding, extraction and presentation of data from

formatting, control and error management bits sent from a tag
readability – ability to extract data under less than optimal

conditions
read rate – maximum rate at which data can be read from a tag,

expressed in bits or bytes per second
read/write – many applications require that new data, or revisions to

data already in the tag, be entered into the tag while it is still
attached to its object; tags with this capability are said to be
reprogrammable and are called read/write tags, memory cards, or

memory modules
reader – device containing the digital electronics that extract and

separate the information from the format definition and error
management bits; digital electronics perform the actual reading
function; these read electronics may also interface to an integral
display and/or provide a parallel or serial communications interface
to a host computer or industrial controller

reader/writer – the set of electronics can change the contents of the
tags while they are still attached to their object; they are called the
transceiver or reader/writer (see reader)

1–2 m® 10008547aa 06/06

SECTION 1 General Information

reprogrammable – many applications require that new data, or

revisions to data already in the tag, be entered into the tag while it is
still attached to its object; the ability to read from and write data to
the tag while it is attached to its object is called in-use
programming; tags with this capability are said to be
reprogrammable and are called read/write tags, memory cards, or

memory modules
scanner – the antennae, transmitter (or exciter) and receiver

electronics are integrated in a single package called the scanner;
they may be combined with additional digital electronics, including a
microprocessor in a package called a reader

tag – A microchip attached to an antenna that is packaged in a way
that it can be applied to an object. The tag picks up signals from and
sends signals to a reader . The transceiver plus the information
storage mechanism attached to the object is referred to as the tag,
transponder, electronic tag, code plate, and various other terms.
Although transponder is technically the most accurate term, the
most common term and the one preferred by the Automatic
Identification manufacturers is tag.

transceiver – see reader/writer
transponder – see tag
unitized active tags – see active tags
verify – assure that the desired operation was performed correctly
WebU I – Web User Interface
write – transfer of data to a tag; the tag’s internal operation of

storing the data, sometimes including the data, in order to verify the
operation

write rate – rate at which information is transferred to a tag, written
into the tag’s memory and verified as being correct; it is quantified
as the average number of bits or bytes per second in which the
complete transaction can be performed

4.0 Safety Information

The Model 811 has been designed to meet various safety
standards. To alert you to potentially hazardous situations, labels
and messages appear on the machine and throughout the manual.

CAUTION refers to a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in personal injury.

4.1 Machine Safety

High Voltage
This safety label is located on the ourside of the rear cover of the

machine and indicates that line voltages are inside.
To prevent injury from electrical shock, the power cord should be

removed from the electrical outlet before performing troubleshooting
or repair.

Electronic troubleshooting must be performed by personnel trained
to troubleshoot electrical circuits.

Pinching/Crushing

SECTION 1 General Information

This safety label is located on the drive pressure roller and indicates
that operators should be careful not to pinch or crush their fingers.

Earth
This safety label is located inside the machine and indicates an

earth point.

4.2 Modifications to the Model 811

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by MARKEM
that could affect FCC Compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the machine.

CAUTION: Applicator cylinders have been factory-set to 27 PSI for
safety . If the t amp applicator cylinders are operated over 27 PSI, the
machine must be protected by guarding, supplied by the customer.
Do not adjust the tamp applicator regulator pressure above 27 PSI
unless guarding is in place.

2.0 Assembling the Stand (Optional)

If the optional stand was purchased, it will need to be assembled.
The stand comes in two boxes: the T-base is in one box and the
upright is in the other.

SECTION 2 Installation Guide

1. The T-base is in two parts with the feet and casters already
attached. To assemble the T-base, remove the bolt and washer.
Fit the two pieces together and then re-install the bolt.

2. To install the upright, remove the nut and washer from the
upright. Place the upright onto the T- base by guiding the floating
bolt into the proper hole. Re-install the nut and washer.

3. The crank is assembled at the factory. However, using an allen
wrench, the handle needs to be flipped to the opposite side of
the mating piece.

4. A package of M6 button head screws is provided for mounting
the machine to the L-piece. The mounting plate is attached to the
upright with the hardware loosely in place to receive the L-piece.
Remove the 2” bar from the L-piece. The Model 811 has its own
longer 2” bar attached to its main plate and does not use the bar
provided on the stand.

5. The cable channel is already installed onto the upright from the
factory . Remove the cable cover by gently prying and snapping it
off. It will be re-installed after all the cables and tubes have been
connected.
