1Introduction
This document will describe the components of the AMP 4/8 and the procedure how to do the first
set up of the reader.
The main features of the reader are listed below:
up to 8 antennas connectable
integrated RS232 or USB interface
3 different types of controlling possible (RS232/USB, with the reader ARE i2, with digital in-
puts)
power supply from 9V DC to 30V DC (see chapter 2.3)
compact housing
the protection class of the housing is IP65
2Installation
To ensure a proper function of the AMP 4/8 you have to follow the steps in following chapters. The
installation should be done by trained people.
2.1 Mounting of the housing
The AMP 4/8 can be mounted to any other mechanic construction. It is recommended to protect the
housing against heavy mechanical interactions and drippy fluids.
With the help of the plastic bars, the reader can be mounted or screwed on to the most fastening
elements without open the housing of the device.
2.2 Grounding of the AMP 4/8
The AMP 4/8 should be grounded. The connector is placed at the side of the housing (6.35 mm flat
contact).
To avoid EMV-problems, the cable to ground ought to be very short with low impedance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------5/20--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention!
The topology of the ground wires must be done in the right way (according state of art).
2.3 Connecting of the plug
Attention!
Be sure that the grounding of the reader is well done and the power supply is not connect-
ed(chapter 3.2). Otherwise the electronic may be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Figure 1: connecting the plug
Put on the sealing 2 to the SAB Cab (A).
Plug in the SAB Cab to the connector at the bottom of the reader device (B).
There is only one way to plug in the SAB Cab to the connector rim of the reader.
Fasten the SAB Cab with the help of the screws.
To meet the protection class of IP 65, it’s necessary to apply a turning moment of 0.5 Nm to the
screws.

2.4 Connecting of the power supply cable
The reader has to be supplied with 9..30V DC. The maximum output power of the power supply has
to be 1.2 Watt. Be sure that you use the right polarity.
It is very important to power the AMP with a clean ground (without any electrical interferences).
The best way is, to use the same ground as the reading system.
2.4.1 Using the connecting cable for AMP und ARE i2 (RS232)
Power supply: brown = + 9 .. 30 Volt
white = ground
2.4.2 Using the switchboard cable for AMP (RS232)
Power supply: brown = + 9 .. 30 Volt
white = ground
Interface: green = RXD (Dataout AMP 4/8)
yellow = TXD (Dataout AMP 4/8)
grey = ground
2.4.3 Using the switchboard cable for AMP (binär)
Power supply: brown = + 9 .. 30 Volt
white = ground
binary control: green = B0
yellow = B1
grey = B2
pink = B3

2.4.4 Using a self assembled connecting cable
Using the following SAB cabs you can assemble your own connecting cable.
ID 70211
SAB cab with 1 PG9 cable pipe
ID 70215
SAB cab with 2 pre-assembled cable pipes
ID 70219
SAB cab without any cable pipe
You can use any shielded five-pole cable. The allowed diameter of the cable must be in the range
from 3,5 to 8mm. For this case, IP 65 is reached.
Attention!
The minimum voltage at the readers input mustn’t be lower then 9V.
The maximum length of the serial RS232 cable is 15m.
2.4.4.1 Assembling of the cable pipe
Breakthrough the prepared areas at the surface of the SAB Cabs. There are two prepared areas seen
at the SAB Cab: central and at one side of the cab.
The o-ring (3) has to be assembled proberly to the cable pipe (4) to ensure the protection class IP
65.

Figure 2 Assembling of the cable pipe
Bring the nut (2) of the cable pipe inside of the SAB Cab (1).
To fasten the nut please use the right tool (17mm).
2.4.4.2 Mounting of the cable
The cable must be mounted in following steps:

Remove all inner parts from the cable pipe at the SAB Cab (1) ( nut (5), cable fastener (3), pipe(4))
(see Figure 4)
Put all the removed parts (nut (5), cable fastener (3), pipe (4),) and the cable pipe of the SAB Cab
as well (1 to 4) to the cable.
Figure 3 Mounting for the cable
Remove the outer isolation of the cable at a length of 6cm .
Remove the isolation of the wires at a length of 6mm and stick a covering hull to the litz wire.
Put the cable to the cable pipe. The length of the cable coming out the SAB Cab must long enough to
do all further installation steps in an easy way.
Stick the pipe (4) into the cable fastener (3).
Stick the cable fastener (3) into the cable pipe.
Connect the cables into the right places of the MINI-COMBICON-Connectors (6).
The pin assignment is shown in the figure below.
Put the MINI-COMBICON-Connectors into the SAB cab. Look after the color coding.

4Instruction set / structure of the instruction set
4.1 Generall
The command set described below defines the transfer of data on the serial interface.
The commands consist of a command code and optionally of a parameter value. Commands are ter-
minated by the control character <CR> (13h). The control character serves as command line termi-
nator.
Command codes and parameters, that means all letters and numerical values, are principally trans-
mitted as a sequence of ASCII characters (the value 255 (decimal) consequently as 32H, 35H,
35H; the command RST as 52H, 53H, 54H).
