Introduction This document will describe the components of the Compact Reader System ARE i2 / RS 232 and the procedure how to do the first set up of the reader. The main features of the reader are listed below: integrated RS232 Interface with tunable baudrate ...
It is recommended to protect the housing against heavy mechanical interactions and drippy fluids. Attention! The side of the housing showing the antenna symbol must not be brought next to a metal surface. This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in turn reduces the reading range considerably.
Figure 1: Connecting of the plug Put on the sealing 2 to the SAB Cab (A). Plug in the SAB Cab to the connector at the bottom of the reader device (B). There is only one way to plug in the SAB Cab to the connector rim of the reader. Fasten the SAB Cab with the help of the screws.
3.3.2 Using the switchboard cable ID 70212 Power supply: brown = + 9 .. 30 Volt white = ground Data interface: green = RXD (readers data input) yellow = TXD (readers data output) grey = ground 3.3.3 Using a self assembled connecting cable Using the following SAB cabs you can assemble your own connecting cable.
Attention! The minimum voltage at the readers input mustn’t be lower then 9V. The maximum length of the serial RS232 cable is 15m. 3.3.3.1 Assembling of the cable pipe Breakthrough the prepared areas at the surface of the SAB Cabs. There are two prepared areas seen at the SAB Cab: central and at one side of the cab.

Mounting of the external antenna / of the AMP 4 / AMP 8 If you have an i2 with external antenna the connector is on the topside of the reading device. You just have to plug the antenna into the connector and bold it on. Alternative you can connect an AMP 4 / AMP 8 with this connector, too.
Visual signal lamps To show the operational state or results there are 5 LED at the side of the housing. A E G L1: twinkles, if the processor works. ARE i2 L2: twinkles one time after successful instruction L3: twinkles one time after bad instruction L4: lit, if the reader receives data’s at the serial data port (Rx) L5: lit, if the reader sends data’s at the serial data port (Tx) Figure 6: Visual signal lamps...
All numbers (e.g. sectors, blocks) are in the hexadecimal format (see chapter 9). With the command CS you can change to the alternative instruction set. If the reader is set to alter- native instruction set, you can change back to the AEG ID instruction set via the command AEG (see chapter 5.3.3).
5.1.2 Output format Generally, every input terminated by <CR> is acknowledged by the reader. The following response protocols are different: 5.1.2.1 Instruction specific output After entering a valid command without a parameter value, the system answers by sending the param- eter value and <CR>.

Operating Modes of the Reader There are two operational modes defined: MD 0 - continuous mode MD 2 - the reading process is triggered by the serial interface In the next capters can you find a detailed functional description. The default mode is MD 0.
exciter processor reading cycle reading cycle reading cycle interface NoRead reading process Figure 8: Software triggered reading operation with TOR>0 Please note: The TOR parameter is only active, if the GT-Command is applied. Within the time span defined by the value of TOR no NoRead will be output on the interface! MD 0 - Continuous Reading When operating continuously the exciter is switched on permanently.
XOFF/XON). Send the command „VER <CR>“ to the reader. The reader answers with the actual firmware version (e.g. AEG ID V1.23). Send the command “MD <SP> 0 <CR>” to the reader. The reader sends No Read messages (e.g. „FFFFFFFFFF“ or „XXXXXXXXXX“), while there is no transponder in the antenna field available.
Instructions To avoid any reduction of the reading distance of the reader, the antenna must not be brought next to a metal surface. This could lead to a significant change of the properties of the antenna circuit, which in turn reduces the reading range considerably! To get reliable readings, the distance between antenna and transponder must be within the specified reading volume.
