Manual ACM 9 - ARE i9 release

3.1.3 Connectivity

ARE i9 is connected via its M12, 5-Pin male A-coded plug. Power supply as well as communication is provided by ACM 9,
communication module. Do not use any other means of powering or communicating to ARE i9 other than an ACM 9 module,
otherwise ARE i9 will be damaged. Do only use specified cables. ARE i9 uses a LED lit RFID symbol on its front side to
visually communicate its various states (standby, reading, successful read, no read, error, and so on...). When ARE i9 is
hooked up to ACM 9, the internal LED is switched to standby color. LED colors can be set by the user.
ARE i9 uses an air core coil. There is air core coil transponders like disks and ferrite core coil transponders like glass tube
transponders. It is important to understand the impact of orientation of transponders relative to ARE i9. Optimum
orientation is parallel to the front side of the reader for disks and perpendicular for glass tube transponders. In this
orientation, the highest read range can be achieved.
If it is not possible to ensure such orientation, the Disk transponders can be oriented perpendicular to the front side of ARE
i9 and glass tube transponders can be oriented parallel. This will result in some decrease of read range, but in most cases
this is acceptable.
