User may leave this pin unconnected ifmanual control is not required2.3 MEASURING READ DISTANCEMake sure you know the tag types. For certain readers and tags, user must also bemindful of the tag’s orientation and the reader’s antenna orientation, what mountingsurface the tags are designed for and how the tags are supposed to be mounte d. Anydeparture from its intended purpose will drastically affect the reader’s ability to energizethe tag and its read range.When measuring the reader’s read range, make sure that the tag is properly oriented tothe reader antenna, and for optimum performance, be sure the operator’s finger is notwithin three (3) inches of the tag’s antenna surface.
MPR-1914 - 13 - 1/2/20153 INSTALLATION & OPERATION GUIDELINESFor ease of explanation, MPR reader in this section refers to an RFID device thatconsists of MPR-1914 and a high performance circular polarized antenna inside asplash proof, UV stabilized housing case. The module should be installed on a heatsink. Example of a heat sink could be an aluminum plate of size 8”x8”x0.1” exposed toconvection air flow. The screws at the bottom of module shall be used for mounting themodule on the heat sink.3.1 GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTSMPR-1914 requires 10-pin flat flex cable (FFC) to connect from the supply source. Avoidusing long (e.g., 12” or longer) cables when connecting the unit from the power supplysource.
MPR-1914 - 14 - 1/2/20154 INSTALLATION PROCEDUREThis section provides installation and operation information for MPR-1914 reader modules.4.1 PARTS LISTVerify that all items listed below are present before starting the installation.oSentinel-Sense MPR-1914 Qty=1oDocumentation Qty=14.2 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATIONFamiliarize yourself with the connectors and pin out assignment of each I/O connectors.4.2.1 Bench Top VerificationIt is always a good idea to verify system operation before committing to a full-scaleinstallation. The following are the necessary steps to test the reader’s operation in astatic environment.Connect MPR-1914 to the RS-232 port of a PC through the interface boardprovided in the demonstration kitConnect the power jack from the wall plug power supply to reader modulePower up PCInstall demo software on PCActivate demo software and verify performance of the reader.Select COM port 1 on top page then click “Connect”. Follow with somecommands.
MPR-1914 - 15 - 1/2/20155 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING AND SYSTEM OPERATION NOTES5.1 SYSTEM OPERATION5.1.1 Running a Custom Software Application or the AWID Demo ProgramIf AWID Demo Program is not used, it is expected user will launch a Custom SoftwareApplication developed using the MPR Communication Protocol and/or the supportingSDK (http://www.awid.com Support/Download) to issue commands to the MPRreader/module as specified.5.1.2 Operating ModesApplications can be developed to support typical operating modes for AWID MPR readers aslisted below.Mixed ModeThis mode assumes the user is aware of the types of protocol in use, and furthermore, theuser made a determined effort to operate the reader in a mixed protocol mode. In thismode, the user can decide how many and which specific protocols to be selected. OnceMix Protocol Mode is selected, the reader will routinely cycle through each protocol, dwelllong enough for the reader to wait for a response and then move on to the next protocol. Itshould be noted that in a mixed protocol mode, the tag must have sufficient time torespond to the reader, and therefore, it can only be used on a conveyor belt arrangement,with specific speed restrictions.Single Protocol ModeSingle protocol is the normal mode of operation, where the protocol type is known andmany tags are expected to pass through the readers.5.2 USERS NOTEFor System Integrators and/or Software DevelopersSystem Integrators and/or software developers should get familiar with the MPRCommunication Protocol specifications and/or the supporting SDK for developingapplications that control an MPR-1914.For Custom System UsersFor custom system user, please refer to your host software user guide for informationregarding system and software operationsFor Demo Software UsersIf you are using the AWID RFID demonstration software application which is .NET basedwith easy-to-follow GUI operations, simply select the COM port for which the MPR-1914is configured then click “Connect” should get you started.
