Installation instructions for PREMIUM-EM and PREMIUM-MF

If the mounting plate is used, the reader cable may be brought out of one of four exit points on the mounting plate: top, bottom, left or right. This enables the cable to be run on the surface of the wall. 

If no mounting plate is used, a minimum hole size of 6,5 mm must be drilled in the wall at the cable exit position as shown above to allow the cable to exit perpendicular to the reader.

The optional mounting plate may also be used when mounting the reader on a metal surface to reduce the negative effects of metal on the read range.

DATA / DATA1

Outputs RFID tag code in selected format

WHITE

CLOCK / DATA0 / TTL-TX

Outputs RFID tag code in selected format

GREY

CARD PRESENT

Pulses low when an RFID tag is detected. It stays low while the module output is active

Note : LED and BUZZER inputs are active low. The input is internally pulled high and may be pulled low by an open collector transistor or driven low by the output of a 5V CMOS or TTL gate.

Output mode selection

 The 6-way switch is used to select the output format and LED mode. The required setting is selected from the following tables:

RED/GREEN with single control line (GRN-LED)

Note : In LED Mode 2, both RED and GREEN leds are controlled by the GRN-LED input. When the GRN-LED input is floating or pulled high, the RED led is on and the GREEN led is off. When the GRN-LED input is pulled low (connected to 0V) the GREEN led is on and the RED led is off. The YELLOW led is always off.

Continuous/Single Transmission Mode Table

Mode

SW6

Operation

Continuous

ON

While a tag is in the reader’s field the reader will continuously transmit the code in the format chosen by DIP-switches 1-4. The repetition period is dependent on the format chosen but varies between 65ms and 100ms.

Single

OFF

Single transmission when tag is brought into the field. Tag must be removed from field for at least 1 second before a read of this tag is possible again.

 

Note : this “continuous transmission” mode can not be guaranteed to work properly on some controllers, depending on the data interfaces. However, the “single transmission” mode will work with all controllers. It is therefore recommended to test this function prior to site activation.

Power Connections

The reader has an internal low dropout 5V regulator and so for maximum performance the input voltage must be smooth DC between 5.5V and 13.6V. The reading distance is unchanged for input voltages between 5.5V and 13.6V. For input voltages below 5.5V the read range drops off slightly as given in the specifications earlier. If 5V is supplied to the reader this should be noise-free to achieve maximum possible read ranges.

Note that the read range will increase if the input voltage increases.

Tuning the antenna

Under the front cover is a variable capacitor, which may need to be adjusted to re-tune the antenna in different environments.  To tune the antenna, switch SW6 on (continuous mode).  Now put a card in the field and adjust the variable capacitor until the unit is beeping repeatedly (beep...beep...beep...beep...).  The best tuning is when the gap between beeps is shortest.
