Scope The RM100 from MaxID Ltd is a multi-protocol radio frequency identification (RFID) reader designed to support all electronic product code (EPC)-compliant UHF RFID tags. The RM100 is an industrial-class OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) reader that provides all of the RFID control functions required to power and communicates with passive RFID tags. The RM100 was designed to integrate into handheld portable data terminals, printers, label applications, mobile computers and other OEM devices. It is a high-performance reader that collects, writes, processes and communicates information from all classes of EPC RFID tags. The RM100 leverages advanced digital filter technology to deliver superior interference management and are optimized to read tags in both clean and noisy radio environments.

Scope Introduction The RM100 RFID reader/writer makes use of a simple interface at present. The simple interface used at present is sufficient for demonstration and evaluation purposes. The simple interface provides access to the setting up of the RFID reader as well as reading and writing various types of tags. This interface will be upgraded to the new EPCGlobal Reader interface when this specification is stabilised. Purpose This document has been provided as a reference for developers making use of the RM100 RFID reader using the simple protocol. Physical interface The RM100 reader is connected via an RS232 serial interface. The parameters for the interface are: Speed:38400 bits/sec Bits per character: 8 Parity:Even Stop bits:1 Definitions TermDefinition End-of-document marker EPCElectronic Product Code EPC 1.19Philips’ version of EPC tag based on the UCODE tag [7] EPC Class 1First generation Class 1 EPC tags based on Auto- Id Centre specification [4] EPC Gen 2EPCGlobal Class 1 Generation 2 UHF RFID [6] ETSIEuropean Telecommunications Standards Institute FCCFederal Communications Commission (USA) IPX“Tag talks first” tag [3] RFIDRadio Frequency Identification (tags) UCODEPhilips’ tags based on ISO18000-6 type B [2] 868 MHzETSI frequencies Single channel in 869.4 to 869.65 MHz [10] [11] 15 channels in 865.0 to 868.0 MHz [12] MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface Project - RFIDID 1147Version 1.213 September, 2005Page 5 of 17 TermDefinition 915 MHzFCC frequencies 50 channels from 902.75 MHz to 927.25 MHz in 500 KHz steps using frequency hopping Supporting Documents [1]EPCTM Tag Data Standards Version 1.1 Rev.1.24 – EPCglobal Standard Specification – 1 April 2004. http://www.epcglobalinc.org/standards_technology/EPCTagDataSp ecification11rev124.pdf [2]ISO/IEC FDIS 18000-6 Information technology – Radio-frequency identification for item management – Part 6: Parameters for air interface communications at 860 MHz to 960 MHz …

RF Exposure Info

MaxID RM100 RFID reader interface Project - RFID ID1170 Version 0.1 18 October, 2005 Page 12 of 24 6.4 Installing the software Insert the CD-ROM into drive. Under windows select “Run” “Browse” from the start menu Choose setup.exe from the CD-ROM and follow the easy steps displayed on the PC 6.5 Installing the Patch Antennas The RM100 Module can operate from a single antenna (combining with a circulator) or from a dual antenna set. Studies show that, in order to be exposed to RF levels that approach the safety limits adopted by the FCC, it would be necessary to remain very close to a UHF RFID antenna for a significant amount of time. For further information on this topic refer to the Web sites at www.fcc.gov/cgb www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety 6.5.1 Dual Antenna set For the dual antenna configuration, mount the antennas 500mm apart (centre-to- centre). Mounting the two antennas closer or further apart will have a decrease in tag read range. Never perform tests when the two antennas are facing each other with less than 50mm separation. It might cause permanent damage the module 500mm A minimum separation distance of 30cm to 60cm has been suggested as a way to minimize exposure to the human body.

Introduction The RM100 from MaxID Ltd is a multi-protocol radio frequency identification (RFID) reader designed to support all electronic product code (EPC)-compliant UHF RFID tags. The RM100 is an industrial-class OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) reader that provides all of the RFID control functions required to power and communicates with passive RFID tags. The RM100 was designed to integrate into handheld portable data terminals, printers, label applications, mobile computers and other OEM devices. It is a high-performance reader that collects, writes, processes and communicates information from all classes of EPC RFID tags. The RM100 leverages advanced digital filter technology to deliver superior interference management and are optimized to read tags in both clean and noisy radio environments.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING ! This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
