3.2.1 Supply voltage
The reader has to supplied by a limited power supply (e.g. NEC Class 2/LPS power supply) ac-
cording IEC EN 60950, only.
The ID ISC.M02-B must be supplied only by a regulated power supply.
If switching power supplies are used with the module, be sure that there is adequate filtering.
Noise from the power supply can result in a reduction of the read/write range of the module.
The cable length from the power supply should be as short as possible, and should in any case not
exceed 3 m.

about „5“.
•IF there is a RS232 to TTL converter used without external power supply it may be nec-
essary to switch on the COM Port parameter “RTS” and “DTR” manually.

3.3 Display elements
The ID ISC.M02 Reader Module has a green LED (V1) and a red LED (V2) which are used as dis-
play elements (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5: Position of LEDs V1 and V2
The functions of both LEDs can be configured using software protocol. It is also possible to control
both LEDs directly using an additional software protocol.
Table 3.3-1 shows the standard setting for V1 and V2.

V1 Green •Flashes 4x after a reset.
•Flashes continuously at a frequency of 2 Hz.

3.4 Operating elements
3.4.1 Operating/Programming Mode: Jumper J1
Jumper J1 is used to configure the operating and programming mode of the ID ISC.M02.
In standard operation the jumper is set to Position 1-2 (see Fig. 4.3.1-1). The reader is then in
normal operating mode.
If the jumper is set to Position 2-3, the integrated hardware bootloader starts after a reset. Since
the reader’s firmware however also has a software bootloader, the hardware bootloader option
should be used only for installing the software bootloader.
For additional information about programming the reader, see the corresponding Application Note
“N21101-xe-ID-B” „Firmware Update“.
Jumper position Mode
1 - 2 Standard setting :
The reader is in normal operating mode.
2 - 3
Activation of the hardware bootloader:
After a reset the reader’s CPU starts its hardware
bootloader, which can then be used for new pro-
gramming.

3.4.3 Retuning the internal antenna: Trim capacitor C65
The antenna of the ID ISC.M02 can be detuned as a result of various ambient conditions such as
nearby metal objects (see 8.5.1. Metallic surroundings). This detuning can be compensated to
some degree using the trim capacitor C65.
Fig. 8: Trim capacitor for retuning the antenna
The integrated antenna can be retuned with the aid of an oscilloscope (bandwidth ≥20 MHz). To
do this, short the GND terminal of the oscilloscope probe with the probe point and hold it over the
circuit board of the ID ISC.M02. The probe then forms a measuring loop for the radiated magnetic
field of the ID ISC.M02. The distance between the oscilloscope probe and the ID ISC.M02 should
be between 0 and 3 cm.
Use the software command „RF-ON“ (0x6A) to turn on the HF field of the ID ISC.M02. A 13.56
MHz signal should be visible on the oscilloscope screen.
To tune the internal antenna, now set the signal amplitude of the 13.56 MHz signal to maximum
using trim capacitor C65.

Use caution when the maximum value of the signal amplitude is reached at the minimum or maxi-
mum position of the trim capacitor (Fig. 10). This usually means the antenna is too severely de-
tuned by the surroundings and can no longer be fully compensated by the trim capacitor.

After the antenna has bee tuned, check it again for maximum range and any communication gaps.
NOTE:
•Notwithstanding the possibility of retuning the antenna as described here, the distance
between the reader and the surrounding metal surfaces must be at least 3 cm. Note that
even other circuit boards may act like metal objects depending on how much copper
they contain.

3.5 Installation notes
Be aware of the following possible environmental factors when installing an ID ISC.M02 into an-
other device :
•Effects from nearby metal objects
⇒Detuning of the integrated antenna
⇒Impaired propagation of the antenna’s magnetic field
•EMC effects on cables
⇒Impaired communication between reader and transponder
•EMC effects from magnetic fields
⇒Impaired communication between reader and transponder
3.5.1 Metallic surroundings
When installing an ID ISC.M02 into another device, be sure that there are no metal surfaces or
objects in the direct vicinity of the reader if possible. These can detune the antenna and thus re-
duce the magnetic field of the integrated antenna. This will in turn result in reduced read distances
for the reader.
The distance between the reader and a metal surface should be at least 3 cm. Note that
even other circuit boards may act line metal objects depending on how much copper they
contain.
If a metallic surrounding cannot be avoided, stable function should at least be ensured by keeping
the distance as great as possible.
The area between the antenna and transponder as well as the area on the other side of the tran-
sponder should also be kept clear of metal parts.
Since any change in the metallic environment will result in detuning of the integrated antenna and
therefore to impaired function, no moving metal parts, such as metallic fans, should be allowed in
the vicinity of the reader.
3.5.2 EMC effects on cables
In spite of the internal EMC filters inside the reader, high levels of noise on the supply voltage can
result in impairment of the communication between the reader and transponder.
When installing an ID ISC.M02 into another device, be sure therefore that a clean, noise-free pow-
er supply is used.

ID ISC.M02
FEIG ELECTRONIC GmbH Page 20 of 27 M20301-4e-ID-B.doc
3.5.3 EMC effects from magnetic fields
Since in this type of RFID-Technology the communication between the reader and transponder
takes place by modulation of a magnetic field, alternating magnetic fields in the vicinity of the an-
tenna can have a negative impact on its function.
Sources of such magnetic interference fields include coils within a primary or secondary switching
power supply.
When determining the position of the reader and antenna within a device, check the device for any
possible sources of interference as described above. If necessary, use shielding to suppress such
interference.
