The device may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
The operation manual should be kept readily available at all times for each user.
Unauthorized changes and the use of spare parts and additional devices which have not been
sold or recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shocks or injuries. Such
unauthorized measures shall exclude the manufacturer from any liability.
The liability-prescriptions of the manufacturer in the issue valid at the time of purchase are valid
for the device. The manufacturer shall not be held legally responsible for inaccuracies, errors,
or omissions in the manual or automatically set parameters for a device or for an incorrect
application of a device.
Repairs may only be undertaken by the manufacturer.
Installation, operation, and maintenance procedures should only be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Use of the device and its installation must be in accordance with national legal requirements
and local electrical codes .
When working on devices the valid safety regulations must be observed.
Before touching the device, the power supply must always be interrupted. Make sure that the
device is without voltage by measuring. The fading of an operation control (LED) is no indicator
for an interrupted power supply or the device being out of voltage!
Special advice for wearers of cardiac pacemakers:

Note:
A wrong polarity of the DC voltage will destroy the reader
3.2.1 Supply voltage
The reader ID ISC.M02.M8-B has to supplied by a limited power supply (e.g. NEC Class 2/LPS
power supply) according IEC EN 60950, only.
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 1 m.
Note:
A wrong polarity of the DC voltage will destroy the reader
Supply voltages outside the specifications may destroy the device.

3.2.2 RS232-LVTTL-Interface (3,3V)
The length of the cable to the RS232 LVTTL interface should be kept as short as possible, and
must in any case not exceed 1 m.
The transmission parameters for the interface can be software-configured.

3.2.3 Connection of the external antennas
Up to 8 external antennas can be connected.
For the connection of the external antennas 8 antenna connectors (X1..X8 respectively A1..A8) are
available.
The connector type is U.FL-R-SMT from the company Hirose. .
Alternatively a 16pin connector can be used for the connection of the antennas.
Figure 1 shows the pin assignment.
Figure 1: Antenna connector‘s
Note:
The maximum antenna cable length should not increase a maximum length of 50cm
(24inch)
The input impedance for the antenna must be calibrated to a value of
50   (3   3°).
A not correct tuned antenna can destroy the reader.
The optimum working quality of the antenna should be in a range of QB = 10...20.
For measuring the working quality the antenna must be connected with a 50  -source,
e.g. a network analyzer or a frequency generator
When connecting an antenna, ensure that it does not exceed the permissible limits pre-
scribed by the national regulations for radio frequency devices.
The ultraminiatur coax connector can be used for up to about 20 connection cycles. For
the disconnection the „Extraction Tool“ must be use according to the recommendation
from the manufacturer.

3.3 Installation notes
The reader module has been designed for the installation in a device.
3.3.1 Mounting
The reader module can be mounted by using 4mm (M4) screws.
Component side: the maximum head diameter should not increase more than 8mm.
Preferred no metallic screws should be used (DIN7985).
Alternatively internal hexagon screws can be used (DIN 912).
Component underside: conductive materials can have a diameter of 6mm.
Non-conductive materials can have a diameter of up to 10mm.
The mounting orientation of the reader module is arbitrary. The component side on the top is
the preferred orientation.
Check the planed mounting place first for suitability.
3.3.2 Influence
Be aware of the following possible environmental factors when installing the module into another
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

3.3.3 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 reader module into another device, be sure therefore that a clean, noise-free
power supply is used.
3.3.4 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.
