Thank you for purchasing this product of TowiTek!
This user guide contains many important instructions on
safe and proper use of this product. The purpose of this
user guide is to make sure you always will get best
performance andan reliable operation of your new product.
LEASE FULLY READ THIS USER GUIDE!
The handling of products operating with electric current requires you to
follow the rules from V E such as V E 0100, V E0550/0551, V E 0700,
V E 0711 and V E 0860 or other local rules in your country.
• TowiTek modules are not designed and authorized for use in life support
or life saving applications! o not use the product for applications in
which a temporary or permanent failure or malfunction could cause
damage to persons or propery.
• If the module is used to switch currents greater 24V it is necessary to
have the installation done with no voltage applied and performed by a
trained professional authorized for such work. The module may only be
used in such application if it was installed in a safe to touch enclosure.
• The module must only be used in dry and clean environment. The use
near water, heavy dirt and/or high humidity is dangerous and not
permitted.
• The product must not be used in conjunction with any type of flammable
liquid or gas or other environment with risk of spark triggered
explosions.
• Never exceed the limits or ratings listed in the 'Technical ata' section at
the end of this user guide.
• If the module is used in schools or educational facilities or similar
institutions the operation must be supervised by trained and authorized
staff.
• The product itself and all parts thereof (including packing material) are
not suitable toys for childern! (choking hazard, risk of electric shock, ...)
Intended use for this product
The TowiTek Long Range RFI Reader operating on 125kHz is designed
to read the I information from RFI tags and transmit this data to an
connected access control system.
The unit is equipped with two data interfaces
• Wiegand 42-Bit interface
• RS-485 serial interface operating with 9600bps / 8N1
connection wire assignment
The 6-wire interface cable uses this color coding for the signals:
red power supply +12-15V C
black power supply 0V ( ata - GN )
green Wiegand42 Interface 'WG0'
white Wiegand42 Interface 'WG1'
blue RS-485 Interface 'A'
yellow RS-485 Interface 'B'
ower supply requirements
The power supply voltage needs to be stabilized and there must be no
high frequency noise (ripple voltage) since this could significantly reduce
the obtained reading range.

Data format on the Wiegand 42 interface
On the Wiegand 42 interface a sequence of 42 pulses (bits) is transmitted
on the 'WG0' and 'WG1' lines
Both output signals are open collector type. The connected access control
terminal will pull up the lines to +5-12V level in quiet state.
For a complete I -code transmission 42 negative pulses with a duration of
100µs each and delay of 2 mS between consecutive pulses are sent.
epending a logic '0' or '1' the pulses are transmitted on the 'WG0' or
'WG1' line.
The I -code of the transponder is 40Bit and two parity bits are added for
validation of the transmission. The transmission starts with an added
'even' parity bit for the first 20 data bits and ends with added 'odd' parity bit
calculated from the later 20 data bits.
E (b0 ................ b19) (b20 ................ b39) O
Example:
1 0101 1101 0001 1010 0010 0001 0100 0110 0011 1100 1
The parity bits are calculated for the first 21 bits of the transmission
always having a even number of ones while the last 21 bits will always
have a odd number of ones.
Data format on the RS-485 interface
The data output on the RS-485 interface will start immediately after the
transmission on the Wiegand interface is completed.
The 40 bit of the I -code are send as 5 consecutive bytes without any
additional packet framing, header or checksum added.
The transmission speed is 9600 bps (104µS per bit). The transmission
uses 8 data bits, one start bit and one stop bit (8N1).
Mounting instructions
The RFI reader can be mounted to an even surface using the 4 holes in
the corners.
The antenna must be installed on a non-metallic surface since metal
objects will degrade the reading performance of the Antenna significantly.
