Standard Conformity
Introduction
Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on product per-
formance.
1. Installation Site
Do not install the product in the following locations
• Where it is exposed to direct sunlight
• Where it is exposed to corrosive gases, dust, metal chips, or salt
• Where the operating temperature exceeds the range given in the specifications
• Where there are sudden changes in temperature (including locations subject to condensation)
• Where the humidity exceeds the range given in the specifications
• Where vibration or shock exceeding the values given in the specifications is imposed directly on the product.
• Where the product is subject to splashing water, oil, or chemicals
2. Installation
• This device uses the frequency band 13.56 MHz to communicate with Tags. This frequency band is also used as the
ISM band (one of frequencies assigned to medical or industrial heaters). These heaters may affect communications
with a Tag or may damage the Tag if the heater is located near this device. Do not install ID Tags near devices that
use the frequency band 13.56 MHz.
• To minimize general influence of noise, ground any metallic object located around this device according to 100 Ωor
less.
• When using more than one CF Reader/Writer, communications performance may be adversely affected by mutual
interference. Refer to information on mutual interference when installing the system.
p.79
3. Power Supply
• Use the power supply specified in this manual.
p.68
4. Wiring
• Always turn OFF the power supply to the Handy Terminal before inserting or removing the CF Reader/Writer.
• To protect the system from damage due to static electricity, use a wrist strap or other means of preventing static dis-
charge when touching signal wires for terminals or connectors.
5. Cleaning
• Do not use any thinner. Resin material and case paint are dissolved by thinner.
6. Communications
• Power is supplied when opening the COM port on the CF Reader/Writer. Wait for at least 500 ms after opening the
COM port before starting communications.

Features
The V670-CF01 CF Reader/Writer combines the V670-series Antenna and Controller into a single unit with a
CF interface. It has superior portability and operability because it can be by slotting it into a CF card slot (Type
II) on a Handy Terminal. Tag data can be read and written using serial communications from the Handy
Te r m i n a l.
Refer to Ta g s for detailed Tag specifications.
p.70
Ferroelectric memory (FeRAM) is a type of non-volatile memory that can write data much faster than previous types of memory,
such as EEPROM and flash ROM, and it has a semipermanent writing life. Furthermore, the previous types of memory could no
longer hold data if nothing had been written to the memory for a certain period (approximately 10 years). FeRAM, on the other
hand, is far better for data storage because it can hold data as long as data is read or written within a specific period of time.
The following three types of ID Tags (“Tags”) can be used with the CF Reader/Writer.
Model Description
V670-D13F03 The V670-D13F03 ID Tag has a memory capacity of 128 bytes. It is a 40 ×
40 mm square tag with water-resistant properties. It also uses a highly effi-
cient, non-volatile ferroelectric memory, called FeRAM, as internal mem-
ory. FeRAM has a semipermanent life (i.e., it can be accessed 1 billion
times).
V670-D13F01 The V670-D13F01 ID Tag is a 8 ×16 mm rectangular tag. It is highly
chemical resistant because a PPS case and highly chemical-resistant
epoxy resin is used on the exterior. It has the same memory capacity and
performance as the V670-D13F03.
V670-D13F01H The V670-D13F01H ID Tag has the same performance and construction
as the V670-D13F01. It has holes for easy mounting.
