Fixed RFID Reader RF1B1AMUS User Manual V1.00
1 Introduction
This manual describes how to install and use the Fixed RFID Reader RF1B1AMUS
(“Reader”). There are two types of readers: infrared triggered and non-infrared
triggered. Non-infrared triggered readers keep on operating to read the UHF Card
every 0.1 second. The Reader in this manual is an infrared triggered one which
starts to read just after detecting the approach of the UHF Card. Both readers are
ideal for Access Control System.
1.1 Access Control System
Figure 1-1 shows the Access Control System. When a user comes close to the
Reader with an UHF Card, the IR will begin to send signals to the Interface right
after detecting the Card.After the Interface receives signals, it will deliver an
instruction to the RM to read the information of the UHF Card. After the RM
discriminates validity of the UHF Card, the Reader will reflect the status by
changing LED lights and the buzzer. The information is sent to the Control Box to
verify the user’s identity for controlling the Door’s openness. Captions of this
system are listed below:
zIR (Infrared Sensor)：It detects whether anything blocked in front of infrared.
When the object in the range of infrared detecting, IR will send signals to the
Interface.
zInterface：When the Interface receives the signal from IR, it will deliver
instructions to operate the RM.
zRM (Reader Module)：It is in charge of sending and reading radio frequency.
When the RM receives the instruction, it will send or read signals through
antenna to get or write the information from or into the UHF Card.
zAntenna：Induction Area, sending signals from the RM and receiving signals
from the UHF Card.
zUHF Card(optional)：UHF Card here means user identification card. A card
which is compatible to the specifications of EPC Class 1 Generation 2 is a
valid UHF Card.
zControl Box(optional)：It checks user’s information, control the openness of
the Door and provide the power to the Reader.

3 Installation
(1) Connect the signal cable to the Control Box accordingly: red wire to +12V wire,
black wire to the ground, orange wire to weigand0 wire, yellow wire to
weigand1 wire.(Figure 2-2)
(2) Fasten the Wall Mount onto the wall. (Figure 2-1)
(3) Plug the housing of the signal cable (Figure 2-2) to the header (Figure 2-1)
inside the Reader as Figure3-1.
(4) Locate the Reader to the Wall Mount and tighten two M4*20 mm screws to
screw holes (Figure 2-1) of Wall Mount from the bottom side.
(5) Installation completed.
Figure 3-1: Installation Example
※ This device is set with stable power supply of DC +12V.
Please ensure the power type before connecting.

4 Operation
Fixed RFID Reader is an integrated device with built-in antenna. It is user-friendly
without complicated operating procedures. The Reader will be able to start
operation immediately after installation and connecting to power. Its operating
procedures are listed below as Figure 4-1:
4.1 Start Mode
It is called “Start Mode” while the Reader is connected with power. At this mode,
the red LED indictor is on. And the Reader will automatically check its functions: its
green and blue LED indictors flicker twice and the buzzer makes two short beep
sounds. Then, the Reader will step into Ready Mode. The red LED indictor will be
unceasingly lighting when the power is supplied.
4.2 Ready Mode
It is called “Ready Mode” when no UHF Card in the detectable range of the IR. The
red LED indictor is on.
4.3 Read Mode
During Ready Mode, when a UHF Card is coming closer to the Reader and
entering into the detecting range of IR, and green LED indictor is blinking, it means
the Reader is reading the information from the UHF Card and we called it “Read
Mode”. After confirming validity of the UHF Card, the blue LED indictor will flicker
once and the buzzer will make one long beep sound. The information of the Card
will be sent to the Control Box by weigand coding. It depends on the user’s
authority for the Control to open the Door. After previous actions, the Reader will
come back to Ready Mode.
