As this technology is based on radio frequency, one must exercise the following operational and mounting instructions to achieve best operation:
Metal affects radio signals. Normally the antenna has to be as far away as
possible from any metal object and it’s damping influence on the magnetic
field. Only this leads to the best distribution of the magnetic field in the reading range. Very important as well is not to have “short circuits”, in the vicinity
of the antenna, damping the magnetic field. A “short circuit” is any metal near
the antenna, building a “metallic ring”, so that currents introduced by the RFfield can flow, destroying the energy needed for the tag to operate.
Care must be exercised to reduce or eliminate unwanted signals (so called
interference or noise) from external sources. The reading range may be reduced by following noise sources:
portable two way radio
cellular phones
switching power supplies
computer monitors
frequency converters (e.g. motor control systems)
The read range is depending upon
performance of the reader
size of the antenna
size of the tag (the bigger the better)
orientation of the tag antenna plane to the reader antenna plane
quality of the tag
matching of reader antenna size and tag (-antenna) size
environmental, electrical noise
If influence of metal can not be fully avoided a tuning of the antenna is required and will improve reading range

2.1System Description
This manual describes the electronic-parts of the SIH-2100 HHR 13.56 MHz Reader
System. This Hand-Held-Reader “HHR” electronics are designed as a multi-tag
System to read and write information stored on transponders (tags). A USB 2.0 full
speed compatible interface and a Blue-tooth interface-port is available as well.
Manual and Specification
SIH-2100
2.2Supported Transponder Types
The reader-electronic is compatible with standards ISO/IEC 15693- 2 and
ISO18000-3 "A."
2.3Reading / Writing TAGs
Several tags in the field can be read or written simultaneously (anti-collision). The
duration of the reading/writing process depends on the number of tags in the field.
Generally, there is no max. number of tags that are permitted in the field at the
same time.
Other operating-modes see respective software manual.

3.10 Application Memory
For storing Application specific data 1MBit of non-volatile memory can be used.
Document no. 0000.000.000Version: 0.4Page 7 of 23
4Software Function
The standard firmware SIH-2xxx hand-held device is designed to give the user a
simple possibility to scan tags as well as using all the extend functionality of this
readers.
Therefore one of the 3 Modes can be used:
Interface Mode: Using the scemtec's stx/etx protocol the reader will execute
all supported stx/etx commands like “Get Inventory”, “Read Tag”, “Write Tag”,
“Print Message on the Display” etc. The data collected in collect mode can
transferred to a host and cleared via stx/etc commands.
Collect Mode: Read Tags and store the content in the internal memory.
Read Mode: Read Tags and show the contents on the display.
Manual and Specification
SIH-2100
The Default Mode can be set with STX/ETX Command. After pressing the Power
Button, the HHR starts up in the Default Mode.
The Modes can also changed with the Mode Button.
4.1Bluetooth
The HHR can be connected to a PC by evaluation the blue-tooth workspace and
connecting to the service serial interface or comport.
Once the connection is established data can transferred from/to HHR.
4.2USB
Connecting the device to a PC a virtual comport is available.
The Interface can be used to configure the HHR as well as transferring data from
the HHR to the Host.
4.3Collect Mode
In this mode it's possible to collect transponder data and store it in the non volatile
memory of the reader.
Each reading will create a dataset.
The content of the dataset can be configured and the data can be transferred to the
host via the USB-interface or Bluetooth.
Document no. 0000.000.000Version: 0.4Page 8 of 23
4.3.1 Function
If the Default Mode is set to Collect Mode, the HHR starts up in Collect Mode after
pressing the Power Button.
Now it's ready to collect data.
Pressing the Read Button starts the reading of Transponders. If no Transponders
are read for “Read Off Time” the HHR switch off the reading unit. Pressing the Read
Button again will start a new reading.
The HHR will switch off after the “Reader IDLE Time” if no Transponder are read or
Button pressed.
