Introduction - Nordic ID RFM5110 Quick Start Manual

Introduction

Axzon's innovative technology extends the use of RFID, an existing radio frequency (RF)
communication standard, to wirelessly sense real-time data without the use of a battery. The
RFM5110/RFM5111 Starter Kit contains everything required to quickly evaluate Axzon's Smart
Passive Sensors, or with a systems integrator seamlessly connect to various cloud platforms or
custom applications. The complete system consists of the following items:
Nordic ID Fixed Smart Reader (AR62 or AR82)
Nordic ID readers communicate with tags and retrieve their sensor data. The fixed readers support
multiple antennas and provide a variety of connectivity options. Smart readers include an
integrated computer capable of supporting custom applications. For more information, refer to
the included Datasheet and User Guide which can also be found on Nordic ID's support
page: https://www.nordicid.com/support/downloads/nordic-id-ar-series/
Axzon ReaderService™ and WebUI
ReaderService™ is a microservice that optimizes and simplifies controlling readers so that Axzon's
Smart Passive Sensors are measured accurately and efficiently. The standard interfaces allow
developers to focus on their end-user software instead of the complexities involved with RF and
RFID. For more information, refer to the provided User Guide.
The WebUI allows for quick operation and configuration of ReaderService™ from a web browser
running on a computer that has a network connection to the reader.
The software comes pre-installed on the smart reader and includes an evaluation license.
RF Antenna and Cable
An ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID antenna and cable are designed to operate in all regulatory
regions which covers the frequency range 865-965 MHz.
Power Supply
A DC 24V/1.25A wall adapter is included to power the reader.
Sensors (sold separately)
Each sensor tag is identified and tracked by a unique Electronic Product Code (EPC). Sensors come
in several types and are designed to perform in a variety of environments. Refer to the sensor
specific documentation for more information such as if the sensor should be placed on metal or
on non-RF blocking material.
