1 INTRODUCTION
The Datamars R-IN1300 MID 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
The reader is able to find simultaneously more than one High Frequency (HF - multi read)
transponder1.
LEDs
Power Light on when the reader is switched on
Tag Light on when one or more transponder are detected
HF High Frequency reading is ON (Led blinks during software update)
Antenna
Antenna TX/RX antenna: for example A-ST1330TT / TTL
Interfaces
Host Connect to any serial port (COM) on your PC with RS-232 cable or to
any other RS232 Terminal.
USB USB device port
Ethernet (Web Server) Connect to LAN with a standard Ethernet cable.
For more info in Ethernet communication please request the
“R-IN1300 TCP/IP Dedicated Protocol” manual to
[e-mail]

2 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
1. Antenna:
Connect the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the connector marked as “Antenna”.
You can not use cable other than the 3.5m coaxial 50Ωcable supplied by
Datamars. Additional extension cables at disposal.
2. PC/Terminal or Ethernet
Connect the serial white cable from the connector marked “Host” to any serial port (COM) on
your PC or the reader “R-IN 1300 MID” can be connected to the LAN just like a PC (Ethernet
cable & RJ-45 connectors).
A direct Ethernet connection between a PC and “R-IN 1300 MID” 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 110 – 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 light “Tag” stop flashing (~20 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.
After the reader is turned on for some time the temperature might increase.
Do not plug/unplug any connectors while the reader is turned ON.
Although R-IN1300 MID 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.

3 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
3.1 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 Firmware Version
*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)
3.2 GENERIC SETTINGS

placed by factory defaults.
