BF-IDM24 RFID Reader Regulatory Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canadas licence-
exempt RSSs. 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. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR dIndustrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
(2) lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance voids the user's authority to operate this equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Model:
BF-IDM24 RFID Reader Operating Guide Purpose of the Device The BF-IDM24 RFID Reader is intended to read and write ISO15693 / ISO14443 compliant data carriers via magnetic field communication. Variability BF-IDM24 RFID Readers are available in different housings and shapes. Operating Guide Model:
BF-IDM24 RFID Reader Connecting the Device BF-IDM24 devices operate in combination with BIS V processor units when connected to one of the ports labeled with "H1" to "H4". For the connection a shielded standard type 4-wire cable M12 / A-coded is used. 4- wire cable 4- wire cable Picture 1: Example Application To ensure reliable operation in strong EMC environments it is recommended to connect metal housings or dedicated functional ground pins directly to installations ground. The ground connection should be short and stable. Depending on the installation situation an indirect ground connection using a RC combination may be required. For further notes concerning the installation of the processor unit please refer to the operating guide of the processor unit. Operating Guide Model:
BF-IDM24 RFID Reader Installation notes For proper operation at first a suitable mounting position has to be evaluated. The position should respect the recommended clear zones as described. Furthermore, please note that strong electrical or magnetic fields in the close environment may influence the RFID Reader. Precise information concerning clear zones and distances are available on request. For BF-IDM24 Readers are available in different housings respectively shapes different types of installation may be considered. a) Direct In-Hole mounting (Example):

BF-IDM24 RFID Reader Setup and Operation For operation of BF-IDM24 Readers a BIS V type processor unit is needed. The processor unit is used as gateway between higher level controllers and RFID Reader. Any communication from and to data carriers respectively RFID Readers is managed by the processor unit. Further information concerning the operation or parameterization of RFID Readers can be found operating guide of the processor unit. Status Indicators The device will show its status using the 2 LEDs at the corners of the housing. In normal operation state the meaning of these lights are as follows:
Green light "Power" indicates that the device is connected to the processor unit and ready to operate. Orange light "Tag present" indicates that a RFID tag has been detected in front of the transceiver coil.
