1 INTRODUCTION
The Datamars “R-IN1300 MC” High Frequency (HF) RFID-reader, designed to work in industrial
environments, is resistant to vibrations, electromagnetic interference and able to detect the following
transponder technologies:
T-BT 1320, T-BT1315, T-BT1311 (ISO 15693), HF
T-BT 7xxx series, LF (only with Datamars R-IN7500 reader connected externally)
I-Code-1
Other types of transponders could be read in “Combo” mode.
The reader is able to find simultaneously more than one High Frequency (HF - multi read)
transponder1and one Low Frequency (LF – single read) chip at the same time if you have a
R-IN7500 Low Frequency reader connected on the Secondary Interface.

Antenna Light on when the antenna is not tuned or is near metallic objects or
not connected
HF High Frequency reading is ON

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
1. Antenna:
Connect the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the connector marked as “1”.
You can not use cable other than the 3.5m coaxial 50Ωcable supplied by Datamars
SA. Additional extension cables at disposal.
2. PC/Terminal or Ethernet
It’s possible to connect the reader in three possible ways:
(1) Use the white serial white cable from the connector marked “Host” to any serial port
(COM) on your PC.
(2) Use the USB cable from the connector USB Device to any USB port on your PC(serial
emulation).
(3) Connect the reader to a LAN just like a PC (Ethernet cable & RJ-45 connectors)
Adirect Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN1300 MC” reader is also possible, with
an Ethernet Cross Cable (supplied together with the reader). Refer to Appendix A for more
details on how to do this.
3. Power
Connect the power cable 100 – 240 V AC and be sure that it is well fixed.
4. Set the Power Switch to ON and check if the green LED (Power) is on.
5. Wait until lights “Tag” and “Antenna” stop flashing (~10 seconds).
Green light on

IMPORTANT:
Please place the antenna as far as possible from metal surfaces to avoid possible
reading interferences and avoid mounting it in places where regular ventilation is not
granted.
If the light “Antenna” turns on, the antenna might be too close to metal surfaces, not
tuned or the coax cable may be damaged.
After the reader is turned on for some time the temperature might increase.
If you install more than one “R-IN1300 MC” with antenna, be sure to set *mi1
(modulation index 30%).
Do not plug/unplug any connectors while the reader is turned ON.
If you have a new R-IN7500 NMS:
1. Connect the Low Frequency (LF) Antenna to the connector marked “Ant.1” on the reader.
2. Connect a serial cable “RS-232” mentioned on the R-IN7500 to the connector “Secondary
Interface” mentioned on the “R-IN1300 MC” reader.
3. Connect the power cable.
4. Turn the reader on.
Keep a distance between the LF and the HF antenna (min. 1m) in order not to influence the
reading distance or use a combo antenna (A-ST1330 CBO) to read LF and HF transponders at
the same time with the same antenna.
Although R-IN1300 MC is protected against ESD, to avoid reader malfunction make sure
that no direct electrostatic discharge will happen into the reader case, antennas or even on
metallic parts directly in contact with the reader enclosure or antennas structure. Typical case
is ESD from metallic cart coming in contact with tunnel antenna metallic structure and
shielding.
2.1 MOUNTING
The reader can be simply laid down on the table or be mounted on the wall or under a table using its
appropriate wall mounting system.

3 ‘SINGLE CHANNEL MODE’VERSION
The functions of the reader are grouped into categories. Each category is dedicated to a specific task
i.e. reading UIDs in different industrial environments, exchanging data with the reader via serial and
Ethernet connections, monitoring the reader’s activities and so on.
The most important categories of commands are made available per default by the reader which is
thus able to perform tasks normally required in standard industrial environments. A special category of
commands is used to enhance the capabilities of the reader for special purposes. This special
category is not active per default: it must be activated typing the reader specific license-code.
The license-code can be requested by contacting Datamars and it is activated via terminal with
command *li immediately followed by the code itself or via browser typing the license-code in the
License-Tab.
The basic version of the reader, the so-called R-IN1300 MC SCM, can thus be upgraded to the more
powerful version, the so called R-IN1300 MC.
R-IN1300 MC SCM readers only use Antenna 1, Splitter and Rx and thus they can only be used in
Single Channel Mode.
R-IN1300 MC readers can use Antenna 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Splitter and Rx.
Given a reader, it is possible to know whether it is a MC SCM or MC using the version-command (*v)
given by terminal or opening a browser-connection to the reader (see next chapters)

4 OPERATION WITH TERMINAL
For operation with terminal use any kind of terminal, e.g. Windows HyperTerminal with the following
settings:
•Bits per second 115200
•Data bits 8
•Parity None
•Stop bits 1
•Flow control None
4.1 LIST OF THE COMMANDS OF THE READER
All commands must be followed by a carriage return (ENTER).
General Commands Explanation
*d Detect:
returns the UID-list of all the HF transponders in the field
*i Interrupts any continuous mode operation (does not disable the
continuous mode)
*x List of the commands and settings
*v Version (ARM + DSP)
*se Settings:
Displays the current settings (Notice that the settings are maintained
after power off)
*st Store UIDs
Usage: with the command “*st” switch from the state “Store UIDs off”
to the state “Store UIDs on”. Then start reading with the command
“*d”. The detected tags are not sent to the output devices but are
cumulated internally. Using now the command “*dw” the reading
process is stopped and the cumulated detected UIDs are sent to the
output devices all at once.
*dw Download UIDs (this command is coupled with *st – see above)
*li[_] Enter the reader-specific license code (upgrade). The license code is
a 16-char long sequence (allowed chars 0,1,2…9, A,B,C…F (case
insensitive))
Example: *liA03E45BC08C532BC
4.2 GENERIC SETTINGS
General settings Explanation
*rd Restore default settings
Any previously user defined settings will be deleted and
replaced by factory defaults.
