For proper integration of modules in the final products it is required that following detailed and comprehensive instructions are followed by the integrators so that any subsequent associated party (grantee, host manufacture, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), integrator, or end-user) can clearly understand the conditions and limitations for authorized uses of the modular transmitter:
Do not exceed the DC power supply voltage of 5.5V. The power supply has to be a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) type compliant to EN 60950-1. The DC power supply should have an output current limited to 500mA DC to avoid fire hazard in case of a short circuit into the module or cable. Do not use the modules into an explosive ambient. Do not use any liquids or solvents to clean the modules. Follow the ESD instructions from this Manual. Do not place any electrical conductive or ferromagnetic parts into a distance of 30mm from the PCB surface (measured perpendicular to it in both top and bottom direction) or 10mm coplanar with the PCB from any edge of the board, in order to avoid distorting the antenna characteristic. Use only the protocol and commands described in this document to control the modules. If the FCC / IC / CE identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label should contain the following, as applicable by model:

The general structure of the communication is that the host sends a request to the RFID Board in a defined format. The RFID board then responds to the request in a defined time frame with a defined format. No spontaneous messages are sent by the RFID boards. The communication protocol is compatible to the ISO/IEC 13239 Standard. Supported TAGs Communication Protocol B40420B40421 1-7 Important User Information Communication Protocol Timing Diagram Description Symbol Time period before start of the request telegram or after end of a response transmission, where no signal on the communication line is allowed. This is defined to ensure that no collision of transmitting happens. Time period for the request telegram to be send. Depends on the baud rate and data length. Time period between request and response Time period of the response length. Depends on the baud rate and data length. tStart\End tReq tGap tResp Commands Port SettingsThe default setting for the serial interface is: 57.6 kbps, 8N1.

The boards have both the option to firmware update in field (in installed and powered state) during serial communication interface, according to following procedure. Send / respond the following commands Initiation, Get Inventory for ensuring the RFID Reader Board is working fine Set the new baud rate (For example: 115000-8-Even-1) : 0x01 Communication settings are changed and updated in the Application code execution Then send / respond the following commands Initiation, Get Inventory for ensuring the RFID Reader Board is working fine with new baud rate Start firmware upgrade and Firmware Data - to upgrade the new firmware command and write the new .hex file data to the flash (hex file available from Beckman Coulter) Firmware upgrade command is issued firmware will jump to boot Boot loader will receive new firmware data with changed communication settings But after successful programming of new application hex file, the RFID board will communicate with default communication settings (57600-8-None-1). RFID board needs power cycle after successful firmware upgrade process.
