Page 3: Introduction
SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION This manual provides information pertaining to the installation and operation of the Model 4000 and Model 5000 Series Reader/Interface or Model 4000E and Model 5000E (the E signifying enclosure). Formally the Series consists of 4 models: Model Number Part Number Voltage Memory 4000E-RO 800-0086-02 12 VDC... -
Page 4: Description
The Model 4000 operates as both a transmitter and receiver of RF signals. The unit provides a low frequency electromagnetic field at 148 KHz to activate an RFID, Inc. tag in the vicinity of the Antenna/Read Head field. Once the Tag is energized, it modulates the field in accordance with data contained in the Tag’s eeprom chip. -

Page 6: Section 2 - Installation
24 VDC Models: 400 mA (typ), 500 mA (max) RFID, Inc. offers a full line of power supplies suited to optimize the Model 4000’s performance. The maximum operation current has been calculated for worse case operation so further power supply overrating is unnecessary. Additionally, the unit should be operated from a grounded supply that has the same ground reference as the Host Computer. - Page 7 FIGURE 2-1 ENCLOSURE MOUNTING DIAGRAM J1 - In order from right to left B0, B1, B2 = serial rate selection at B0 thru B2 F0, F1 = unused, will offer a serial format (RS-422-A) selection in next released versions Blank = unused 16/32 = number of Tag characters selection, ON for 32, OFF for 16 ELM = Modem Eliminator, must be ON J2 - Connection for heat dissipation to Resistor and Heat Sink...

Page 8: Antenna/Read Head Installation
2.4 ANTENNA/READ HEAD INSTALLATION Connection for an external Antenna is provided at terminal block TB1 (angle entry terminal strip). A cable is already attached when ordering the Model 4000E or 5000E. The 12’ cable is custom and is 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. -
Page 9: Serial Interface Connections
1. Unshielded CRT's should be kept at least 10 feet from the antenna to reduce the effect of the deflection yoke magnetic field. 2. Power input lines should be well filtered and free of switching spikes caused by thyristors, SCR's, etc., which create interference across a broad spectrum of frequencies. 2.7 SERIAL INTERFACE CONNECTIONS The Model 4000/5000 provides Tag data output in either a serial RS-232-C output. - Page 10 PIN FUNCTIONS SIGNAL NAME DIRECTION RxD - Received Data To Reader TxD - Transmitted Data From Reader RTS - Request To Send From Reader CTS - Clear To Send To Reader If you are using a standard serial connector or have had one included with the delivery of your system, the following pin-outs apply: SIGNAL NAME PIN NO.

To command the unit, always use capital letters. To test if installation is proper and complete, the words "RFID, Inc. Vx.x” will appear as the output response of the Model 4000/5000 at power up. Reception of this message by the host indicates at least one-way communication is functioning. -
Page 12: Issuing Commands
Before proceeding, it is important to understand how the Reader’s memory functions. The Buffer will store and hold only 1 Tag read, the last read. Presenting a Tag to the Reader will fill the Buffer and the Reader will not re-report that Tag as long as it remains to be presented to the Reader. In actuality, the Tags continue to be read by the Reader, compared to the info in the Buffer, and if they equal the Tag will not be reported out the serial port a 2 time. -
