  • Page 5: Introduction

    All reader models have upgradable firmware. XT-5 models have a user-programmable Linux system. Tags RAIN RFID tags are typically passive, which means that they are powered by the reader's electromagnetic field instead of having a battery. TagMaster's XT readers support all RAIN RFID tags. Specifically, the ® readers support the SecureMarkID tags developed by TagMaster to ensure that each tag has a truly unique identity that is difficult to clone.
  • Page 6: Reader And Tag Placement

    XT Series Reader Manual 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 Reader and Tag Placement Figure 1 shows some typical installations for the XT-1 and XT-5 reader models. A. Single lane parking entrance. The reader is directed to read windshield or headlight tags. B. Multilane parking entrance. To minimize the risk for cross reads, the readers/antennas are mounted above the cars and the cars are equipped with windshield or headlight tags.
  • Page 7 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 XT Series Reader Manual The reader's radiation pattern or read lobe (the region where the reader can read tags) is shaped like a balloon in front of the reader as shown in Figure 3. The maximum read range is obtained when the tag is at the tip of the balloon.
  • Page 8: Mounting Instructions

    2.3.1 Universal Mounting Kit (UMK) The UMK (TagMaster part. no. 193600) makes it easy to mount the reader in a wide variety of positions and angles. The kit contains all parts needed to mount the reader on a wall or a pole.

    13-111 11, 2018-09-19 XT Series Reader Manual Cable Connections 2.4.1 XT Mini On XT Mini, cables should be connected through the two M16 cable glands. A cable tie should be used to guide the wires when the lid is closed. Make sure to use cables with flexible wires. It is recommended to use the left cable gland for Ethernet connections and the right cable gland for other connections.
  • Page 10: Etc And Xt-5 Etc

    XT Series Reader Manual 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 2.4.3 XT-5 On XT-5, Ethernet and power (PoE+) should typically be connected to the external RJ45 connector. The three M16 blind plugs can be replaced with cable glands if connections to internal interfaces are needed.
  • Page 11: Wire Connections

    All reader models work with many types of antennas. XT-5 models should preferably be used with TagMaster's range of intelligent antennas with built-in LED indicator and variable polarization. With these antennas, all communication between the reader and the antenna is sent over the RF cable to eliminate the need for extra cables.

    XT Series Reader Manual 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 3 Interfaces Overview Figure 13 shows the locations of all internal interfaces in the different reader models. The name of each interface is listed in Table 2. The following sections refer to the interfaces as named in the table.
  • Page 13: Power Supply

    13-111 11, 2018-09-19 XT Series Reader Manual Power Supply XT Mini and XT-1 models have a single 12-24 VDC power supply input. XT-5 models can be powered either from 12-24 VDC or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+, IEEE 802.3at). When using the power supply input, the readers shall be powered from an isolated power supply.
  • Page 14: Wiegand/Magstripe

    XT Series Reader Manual 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 Wiegand/Magstripe The readers have one or two Wiegand/Magstripe interfaces. XT Mini and XT-1 models have one interface. XT-5 models have two interfaces (A and B) that can be configured as a single interface using IF_DIP:7 if a card load signal is needed.
  • Page 15 13-111 11, 2018-09-19 XT Series Reader Manual The most common predefined formats can be selected by setting SW_DIP/S101:5-8 as shown in the table below. When any of these switches are in the ON position, the reader is also configured to report tags once and only accept SecureMarkID tags.

    The default output of the RS232 interface is tag data in ASCII format. If SecureMarkID tags from TagMaster are being used (recommended) the numeric identity is sent out. If other EPC tags are being used the default output is the EPC data. The data is followed by CR+LF ("\r\n").
  • Page 18: Rs485

    The default output of the RS485 interface is tag data in ASCII format. If SecureMarkID tags from TagMaster are being used (recommended) the numeric identity is sent out. If other EPC tags are being used the default output is the EPC data. The data is followed by CR+LF ("\r\n").
