Pin assignment RF382R Scanmode RS232 interface You can connect the RF382R Scanmode reader via the internal RS232 interface or via a higher-level system. Pay attention to the correct assignment of the pins.

Transmission window Orientation of magnetic fields of the SIMATIC RF382R Scanmode For many applications it may be best to operate the reader so that the tags move from left to right (or from right to left) at a certain distance in front of the narrow edge of the reader. This direction of movement uses the horizontal magnetic field of the reader, see figure below. You also have the option of moving the tags up and down (or down and up) past the narrow edge of the reader.

Traversing speed with RF382R Scanmode The following table shows the traversing speed of a transponder through the main field. The direction of motion of the transponder is horizontal. Table 14 Traversing speed of different transponders UID number (8 bytes) MDS D124 MDS D160 MDS D460 MDS D324 MDS D424 1.5 m/s 1.5 m/s 1.5 m/s Mounting on metal The RF382R can be mounted directly on metal. Flush mounting on metal is not permitted.

Setting the parameters of the RF382R Certain parameters of the scan mode can be changed during operation. These parameters are transferred from the host to the reader via the serial interface for this purpose. You can change the following parameters this way: ● ScanMode: Single Read (single reading of a tag) or Continuous Read (continuous reading of a tag) ● LockTime: Lock time for the setting "Continuous Read" ● Retentive: The parameters are stored in the non-volatile Flash memory of the reader.
