1.2 Security Advice The DMI15 IoT HF RFID Reader was not designed for use in dangerous environments. Using this product in applications where a failure could directly results in severe injuries or death (“high risk activities”) is not permitted.
The DMI15 communicates via LAN and can be powered over Ethernet (PoE) making the integration in IoT systems real plug and play, especially when used in conjunction with the metraTec IoT Engine software.

2.3 Product Drawing The DMI15 features 4 mounting holes on a 99 x 34 m grid. The housing may be used as drilling template using a deep hole marker. Technical Documentation metraTec DMI15 Page 6 of 18...
2.4 Scope of Delivery The DMI15 RFID Reader comes with the following parts: DMI15 RFID Reader • Documentation, Drivers and Demo Software are available via download from • metraTec's website (http://www.metratec.com Support Downloads) 2.5 Accessories The following accessories and modules are available to extend and evaluate the...
PoE class 0 device by the ethernet switch. The switch will deliver up to 13W available for the DMI15 itself shared with devices connected to the 24V outputs as well as the 24V DC out of the DMI15. Exceeding the 13W overall power rating will result in shut down of the power supply by the ethernet switch.

4 Ethernet configuration The DMI15 offers a 100 MBit Ethernet connection as communication interface via a RJ-45 jack. The DMI15 incorporates a metraTec TCP to UART Converter (TUC) for ethernet communication. The default IP setting is static 192.168.2.239. The interface configuration is available at this address using a web browser (port 80).
5 RFID Antenna To send and receive data to and from passive RFID tags the DMI15 includes a HF RFID antenna (13.56 MHz, 50 Ohm) The antenna is located centered at the front of the housing. The antenna center is indicated by the top print.
6 Digital Input/Outputs The DMI15 has 2 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs which can be read or set via the reader. The input pins are optically isolated 24 V DC inputs as is common in automation technology. Up to 10 mA are needed to set the input to "high".

CE sign, as required by Directive 1999/5/EC (Radio & Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Directive). The product is currently not registered for use in the US or Canada. However, metraTec is registered as a manufacturer of electronics at the FCC and IC. A certification of this product is therefore possible, if required.
