1134 1 Introduction Technology Solutions’ 1134 LF Reader provides the Motorola MC55/65 with LF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) functionality. The unit attaches as a snap on to the MC55/65. The mechanical design of the unit allows it to be quickly and easily removed. The 1134 LF Reader is powered from the host terminal. 2 Parts of the 1134 LF Reader MC55/65 mating connector Status LED Fixing clip latch Antenna located on back of unit.

1134 6 Charge and ActiveSync Connection The 1134 LF Reader is designed to fit into a standard MC55/65 desktop charge cradle or cradle cup. When docked into a cradle power is passed through the 1134 so that the host terminal can charge. When docked and an external USB host is connected, the USB connection from the host terminal is disconnected from the RFID reader and passed straight through to the connector on the bottom of the 1134.
1134 7 Reading Transponders RFID transponders can be read when they are in range of the antenna. The antenna is located under the back cover of the 1134 LF RFID reader. The range at which a transponder can be read depends on the transponder type and size. Larger transponders can be read further away from the antenna. In many cases it will be possible to read transponders in front and to the side of the 1134 LF RFID reader. For best performance the transponder must be orientated correctly with the antenna.
1134 8 Status LED The status LED on the front of the 1134 LF Reader provides an indication of the operating status of the 1134 LF Reader. LED colour Status Green flash The previous command was successfully received and processed by the reader. OR. A transponder was read. Red flash The previous command was not successfully processed by the reader. Note that custom configuration of the 1134 LF RFID reader may prevent it from operating as described above.
1134 9 Software 9.1 Driver installation The drivers required for the 1134 LF Reader may be deployed as part of the installation of a custom application. Otherwise they can be deployed by copying ‘RFID Reader Driver.CAB’ to the host terminal and running it. When prompted, choose ‘Device’ as the destination to install the drivers to. RFID Reader Driver.CAB is included on the Explorer Kit and Software Development Kit CDs and can also be downloaded from http://www.tsl.uk.com/downloads.htm. 9.
34 9.3 SmartWedge RFID application A Wedge application has been developed for use with the 1134 and other Technology Solutions RFID readers. This activates the RFID reader whilst any of the yellow scan buttons are held down. Any transponder serial numbers that are read are sent out as though they had been typed on the keypad to whichever application has focus. Instructions for installing and using the Wedge application are provided separately from the Technology Solutions website at http://www.tsl.uk.
1134 10 Troubleshooting and Maintenance 10.1 Maintenance For trouble-free service treat the 1134 LF Reader in the same way as you would the MC55/65 and observe the following tips when using the 1134 LF Reader: + Do not store or use the 1134 LF Reader in any location that is dusty, damp, or wet. + Protect the 1134 LF Reader from temperature extremes.
