Page 7: Section 2 Preparing To Operate The Reader
SECTION 2 PREPARING TO OPERATE THE READER 2.1 POWER CONNECTION The Model 3020 MicroReader offers a low power consumption of just 5vdc and a typical current draw of 125 mA, maximum 200 mA. The Model 3020 MicroReader is deliverable in two connection types. The Reader can be ordered with its standard bare pins for ready attachment of power and communication wiring, or with an AMP connector pre-wired with 9 PIN D Sub serial connector and/or a single male pole connector for power. -

Terminal Equipment (DTE) device receives data on Pin 2 and transmits data on Pin 3. Your PC’s COM port is most likely configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). Most terminals and IBM-PC compatible interfaces have 9 pin COM ports configured as DTE, but if your control device’s 9 pin COM port does not receive on pin 2, there exist simple converters called modem eliminators, which accomplish the crossing of pins 2 and 3 for you. -
Page 9: Tag Versions
2.4 TAG VERSIONS It is important to understand the Tag versions RFID, Inc. offers on our 125 KHz product line, if you intend to write to more than one type of Tag. RFID, Inc. uses 4 different EEPROM ASIC chips for its RW Tags and 1 ROM chip for its RO Tags. -
Page 10: Antenna Cable
2.5 ANTENNA CABLE (if an externally cabled Antenna is employed) The Antenna lengths, 12’, 19’ or 30’, are custom and part of the Antenna’s attenuated circuit, therefore altering the length of the Antenna cable will affect read and write range between the Antenna and a Tag. Custom cables can be accommodated without losing read range by altering capacitance at the PCB. -
Page 11: Section 3 Operating The Microreader
The MicroReader recognizes both a closed square bracket and a carriage return as the same keystroke. All programming must be done in capital letters. If you are using the RFID, Inc. terminal program you may notice the program automatically converts any data input to be written, into capitals. - Page 12 There are basically only 5 commands available with the Model 3020-RW, the Mode and Tag Version command, the Write command, and the Single or Duplicate Tag Report Mode command. Mode Command Enter: [Mxx] where xx equals the mode desired Response: OK If mode 18 is desired, enter [M18] Version Command This command allows the user to ascertain which Tag Mode the Reader is in for writing purposes.
