Functional Description 5.4 Functionality 5.4.1 General Information The LFP Handheld Reader USB is a radio frequency identification system that uses radio transmission to read or write data from LF transponders (134.2 kHz). The core piece is an LF transponder (134.2 kHz) which operates as a forgery-proof electronic tag. The reading unit of the system transmits an energy pulse via the antenna. The transponder is supplied with energy by this pulse. The transponder then sends the stored data back to the device. The reading process takes approx. 100ms (communication between transponder and device). Since a line of sight between the device and transponder is not absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material. The LF Handheld Reader USB reads all 134.2kHz transponders according to ISO18000-2 (and ISO11785) common on the market. 5.4.2 Normal Operation During normal operation, the LFP handheld reader is immediately ready for operation after a reset. It does not perform any independent actions in this mode. Pressing the read button triggers an automatic reading and, if the reading is successful, the data of the LF tag are output. 5.4.3 Polling Mode The reader can be set to a state of continuous reading, the so-called polling mode. The device then performs a readout at regular intervals and outputs the data of the read LF transponder.

The antenna LED indicates the execution of an RFID read or write process. The status LED indicates a successful reading process. In ASCII protocol mode, this behaviour can be activated or deactivated via parameters. Use the menu button to switch the LFP handheld reader to a setup mode to configure the settings. The set button is used to select parameters in the menu and to transfer parameter settings. The read button triggers an automatic reading. The execution of the reading is indicated by the antenna LED, the result of the reading is indicated by the status LED. In setup mode, the read button (1) is used to configure the parameters. The function is identical to read button (2). The USB connection cable is fixed to the LFP handheld reader. The length of the connection cable is adjustable. The function is identical to read button (1). With the integrated antenna, ranges of up to 100mm are possible, depending on the transponder type. An internal signal buzzer is provided for acoustic indication of readings. In both operating modes the buzzer can be activated or deactivated via parameters.

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. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 HERMOS AG Gartenstrasse 19 D-95490 Mistelgau Tel. +49(9279) 991-0 Fax. +49(9279) 991-100 Product Manual Customer Documentation LFP Handheld Keyboardemulation 6. Installation Follow the basic safety instructions in the chapter safety instructions. 6.1 Safety Instructions Version 1.0 07.06.2018 Page 19 of 75 The device is exclusively designed for indoor use in an industrial environment. The device may only be installed indoors with a temperature and humi-
dity level within the range of the specified technical module parameters. Never use the unit near or in water. Never pour liquids of any type over the unit. However, if the unit should still come in contact with liquid, disconnect it and have it checked by a technician. Do not install the device near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not install the device in a flammable environment. Never expose the device to extreme temperature fluctuations, since otherwise condensation develops inside the device and causes damages. Do not install the device in the vicinity of voltage lines or other power lines with which they could collide (for example, drilling), which could result in serious injuries or even death. The device (especially the antenna) should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of electrical equipment such as medical devices, monitors, telephones, TV sets and magnetic disks, and metal objects. This could result in reduced read and write ranges. Never use the unit in explosive areas (such as paint warehouses). Do not use the device in areas where it is exposed to vibrations or shocks. The installation location must be adequately illuminated during the installation. Never install the unit during a lightning storm.

- The antenna LED, the status LED and the buzzer are briefly switched on and off again (test of the membrane keypad).
- Short waiting time
- The antenna LED is switched on and off briefly at least one more time. The LFP reader USB communicates with a higher-level host system via a virtual COM port using the ASCII protocol. To read a transponder, hold the device near a transponder and press the read button. An active reading is indicated by the antenna LED lighting up. The LFP reader reads the transponder and transmits the read data either via the standard ASC-I1 protocol or the ASC-W1 protocol. Both protocols are ASCII protocols and differ only slightly in commands and parameters. The desired ASCII protocol specification is selected via parameter 64. In the following chapters, the different specifications are indicated at the appropriate points. 7.4.1 Structure of the Communication Protocol Communication is carried out via ASCII packets. A specific response is sent to the reader after each command. We recommend waiting for this response before sending a new command. 7.4.2 Packet Content Packet Header Each message packet consists of a packet header (header = 3 characters), the message data (2 or more characters) and the packet end. Packet Header The packet header contains a start character and the message length. The message length consists of 2 hexadecimal bytes and defines the number of characters in a message. Message Data Packet End Packet Header Start Character Length 1 (high byte) Length 2 (low byte) Start Length 1 Length 2 HERMOS AG Gartenstrasse 19 D-95490 Mistelgau Start character (ASCII character S) High byte of the message length (ASCII character 0-F) Low byte of the message length (ASCII character 0-F) Tel. +49(9279) 991-0 Fax. +49(9279) 991-100 Product Manual Customer Documentation LFP Handheld Keyboardemulation Version 1.0 07.06.2018 Page 38 of 75 Advanced ASCII format:
The advanced ASCII format is defined for ASCII messages whose message length exceeds 255 characters. The packet header contains two start characters and the message length. The message length consists of 4 hexadecimal bytes and defines the number of characters in a message. Packet Header Start 1 Start 2 Length 1 Length 2 Length 3 Length 4 First start character (ASCII character S) Second start character (ASCII character "X" = extended ASCII protocol) High byte of the message length (ASCII-character 0-F) Byte packet length (ASCII character 0-F) Byte packet length (ASCII character 0-F) Low byte of the message length (ASCII character 0-F) Start 1 Start 2 Length 1 Length 2 Length 3 Length 4 Message Data The message contains a command character, a target or source address and the actual message data. Address Message Data Command The command is defined by an ASCII character. (See protocol commands) Target/source address (ASCII characters 0, 1, , E) *
The definition of the message data depends on the protocol command. Command Address Data
* The reader address can be set via parameters. When delivered, the address is set to "0". Data Packet End The packet end contains an end character and a checksum consisting of 4 characters.

For a multi-page read request (98 or 99), the protocol is retried. At the end of reading, the reader sends an additional packet. If the sensor check is activated (parameter 1: readmode), the assignment of the external input is checked before the initiation of a read process by the host. The reading process is only started if the sensor is occupied, otherwise the error message no tag (4) is sent.
