S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide 3.1 May ’01 Introduction Note: Always ensure that the reader is switched off when making or breaking connections to it. 3.2 General The S6500 Reader Module has been designed with easy installation in mind. The following information provides you with any details that you will need to know. 3.2.
May ’01 Chapter 3. Installation Note: Detuning of the antenna can result in additional heat being generated in the reader. If this happens the reader regulates its output power down until the final stage is once again within its upper temperature limit. Figure 3: Reader Mounting Holes 120 mm 110 mm ø 4,5 mm ø 4,5 mm The tolerances for the position of the mounting holes is ± 0.5 mm.
S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide 3.4 3.4.1 May ’01 Connectors Power Supply Connector The supply voltage is connected to connector X3 on the lower circuit board. CAUTIONS: 1. Reversing the power supply wires may destroy the device. 2. If you are using a switched power supply you must ensure that the switching frequency is below 300 kHz. Figure 4: Supply Voltage Connector X3 X3 1 2 +24 V DC GND ! X1 Notes: 1.
May ’01 Chapter 3. Installation Figure 5: Antenna Line on a Ring Core 3.4.3 Isolated Optocouplers Input Connector The input LED's on the optocouplers have an internal input series resistor of 500 Ω. For supply voltages above 10V the input current must be limited to a maximum of 20 mA by an additional external dropping resistor (see Figure 6 and Table 16). CAUTION: Reversing the polarity or overloading the inputs will destroy the reader. Notes: 1.
S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide 3.4.4 May ’01 Isolated Optocoupler Outputs Connector The transistor connections, collector and emitter, of the two optocoupler outputs are galvanically isolated from the reader electronics and brought out on connector X6 without any additional circuitry. The outputs must therefore be powered by external supplies. The outputs are designed to switch resistive loads only. Note: If the connecting cable is longer than 3 m you must use shielded cable.
May ’01 3.4.5 Chapter 3. Installation Relay Connector CAUTIONS: The two relay change-over contacts are designed to switch resistive loads only. If you are using an inductive load, the relay contacts must be protected by means of an external protection circuit.

S6500 Long Range Reader Module - Reference Guide May ’01 Figure 11: RS232 Interface Line on a Ring Core 3.5 Interface Configuration Jumper Settings There are five jumpers used on the reader. They are Jumpers J400 - J401 which are used to configure the asynchronous interface for RS232 or RS485 described in Table 17, and Jumpers J403, J405 and J407 are used to insert the termination resistors which may be required for the RS485 interface, described in Table 18 and shown in Figure 14.

Installation Figure 14: Jumper Settings for RS485 Line Termination J405 RS485 - B+ J403 J407 3.6 RS485 - A- Setting Bus Addresses If you are going to use the reader connected to a bus you will have to give each reader an individual address. You can do that either by setting switch S2 on the reader or by software from the controlling computer. 3.6.1 Using S2 to Set the Address You can use switch S2 to set the reader address between “0" and “7".
