Chapter 3Product SpecificationsInstallation Guide - RFID Reader UF70 Certum 163.2 Description of the componentsComponent DescriptionPower LED If the correct voltage is applied to the device, the Power LED is green and the device is operational.Reset button Pressing this button initiates a power-reset of the device. The reset button must be pressed for at least three seconds until all the LEDs of the foil keypad simultaneously start and the hardware reset is executed.Mode button If the mode button and the reset button are simultaneously pressed at a powerup reset for about 15 seconds until all the LEDs of the keypad light up for the second time, the reader will be reset to the default state (default factory setting).Mode LED Currently no use.Test button Pressing this button switches the device to the reading test mode and is used to select the antenna ports. If the button is pressed for a longer time (at least 2 seconds), then the test mode is activated (Test OK LED and Test Error LED both briefly come on) or disabled (Test OK LED and Test Error LED both go out). Briefly pressing the buttons when the test mode is activated results in switching to the next antenna port.Test OK LED When a transponder in the test mode can be successfully identified, this LED turns green.Test Error LED When a transponder in the test mode cannot be successfully identified, this LED turns red.Antenna port LED 1 to 4 These LEDs signal the data traffic to the respective antenna ports. Once data is read or written via the antenna port 1 (above), the antenna port LED 1 (above) turns green.Antenna port LED 1 to 4 Ports to connect the antennas.

If the device should accidentally come in contact with liquid, disconnect it and have it checked by a technician.Do not install the device near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat.Do not install the device in a flammable environment.
Chapter 4InstallationInstallation Guide - RFID Reader UF70 Certum 21CAUTION Never expose the device to extreme temperature fluctuations, since otherwise condensation develops in the device and causes damage.Do not install the device in the vicinity of voltage lines or other power lines with which they could collide (for example, when drilling), which could result in serious injuries or even death.The device (especially the antenna) should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of electrical equipment such as medical devices, monitors, telephones, TV sets, magnetic disks and metal objects.This could result in reduced read and write ranges.Never use the device in explosive areas (such as paint warehouses).CAUTION Do not use the device in areas where it is exposed to vibrations or shocks.ATTENTION The installation location must be adequately illuminated during the installation.Never install the device during a lightning storm.Verify that the installation meets the requirements of the (country-specific) FCC for human exposure to radio frequencies.
Chapter 4InstallationInstallation Guide - RFID Reader UF70 Certum 224.2 Qualified installation personnel4.3 UnpackingThe device and the accessories are packed under clean-room conditions. In order to maintain this condition, the device must also be unpacked in clean-room conditions.Disposing of thepackaging materialATTENTION When determining the installation site, keep in mind the length of the antenna wire and the read/write range of the antenna used.CAUTION Installation is to be carried out by specially trained personnel only. If you are uncertain about their qualification, contact the manufacturer.CAUTION Installing the device without special training can result in damage to the reader and/or connected devices.The packaging material consists of cardboard and foil. Dispose of these materials separately and observing the respective legal regulations of your country.
Chapter 4InstallationInstallation Guide - RFID Reader UF70 Certum 234.4 Assembly of the deviceInstallationdimensionsATTENTION The mounting surface must be stable, non-flammable, dry and clean.If necessary, clean it before installing the device.The device must be installed so that air can freely circulate vertically through the heat sink, and the operating and environmental conditions specified under  Technical data are met at all times.
Chapter 4InstallationInstallation Guide - RFID Reader UF70 Certum 244.5 Antenna installation4.6 Power supplyThe device can be connected to an internal power supply of the system or to an external power supply.Once the device is connected to the power supply, the power LED lights up.ATTENTION Consider the required read and write ranges when installing the antenna. The reader can only be used properly if the transponder is located within the individual reading/writing range of the respective antenna.If the transponder is very close to the antenna, the transponder may be detuned by the metal of the antenna and a reading/writing is not possible. We recommend keeping a minimum distance between transponder and antenna of about 10 mm.DANGER Risk of death from dangerous voltageRisks exist when supplying the device with the incorrect voltage.Only use cables, plugs and adapters supplied by the manufacturer.Observe power ratings of the technical data ( Technical data).Pin Signal1GND2+24 V DC3GNDPins 1 and 3 are both grounded.
