INTRODUCTION - quark Technical Information Manual 6 1 INTRODUCTION Product Description The Quark (Model R1230CB), the new OEM reader of the easy2read© Family, is an UHF multiregional ultra compact reader for low-power, high performances UHF RFID applications. With programmable output power in 15 steps from 9dBm to 23dBm, the reader can detect tags at more than 1 mt of distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions). Due to its low power consumption, the module is specifically designed to be easily integrated in battery powered devices as well as powered directly by a standard USB port. The radio frequency core of the module permits to achieve fast reading and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances. The compactness of the device and the board-to-board connector allow to embed the R1230CB inside the new small form factor industrial handhelds, smartphone accessories, small USB dongles and other compact form factor devices. The R1230CB complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and due to its multiregional capabilities, it is ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions. The Mod. R1230CBEVB evaluation board allows to manage the Mod. R1230CB OEM UHF multiregional Compact Reader directly via USB. In case customers want to replace directly with Quark reader others CAEN RFID OEM modules (i.e. A828, A828A, A528), the Mod. R1230ADAT adapter board can be used.

The RXD/TXD pins are used to communicate with the Quark reader via UART port; to establish a link with the device you must configure your COM port as follows: Baud rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: none JTAG pins, unless otherwise noted, are for internal debug purpose only and shall not be connected by the user. /RST, BSL_SEL and TST pins shall be properly driven to start the bootloader of R1230CB embedded microcontroller in case the user wants to upgrade the firmware image of the reader. In normal operation BSL_SEL and TST shall be at low level or left unconnected. See § BLS operation (pag. 16) for the description of bootloader operation. VDD_M and 5V_OUT are two auxiliary supply sources with 20mA maximum current capability to be used as supply voltages of external components. 1 Debug purpose and unused pins should not be connected. 2 If BSL_SEL is at high level, the UART interface is connected to the serial port dedicated to microcontroller Boot Start Loader operation required for flashing the firmware inside the MCU memory. This pin shall be at low level or left unconnected in normal operation.

QUARK R1230CB - quark Technical Information Manual 14 Power supply connection In the following schematic suggested R1230CB power supply connection is shown. An external 100uF bypass capacitor between Vin and GND is recommended for proper operation. The use of fuse F1 (or an equivalent solid state current limiter) is recommended since R1230CB doesn't provide internal current limitation protection. Fig. 2.3: QUARK R1230CB power supply connection General purpose I/O connections The GPIO0-GPIO3 pins are 4 general-purpose bidirectional pins. Their default direction after a power on reset or a general reset is set to input. GPIO, when configured as Outputs, can be used to drive indicators as leds or buzzers or to send trigger signal to others equipments. GPIO, when configured as Inputs, can accept control signals from other equipments or trigger signals from sensors (i.e. photocells). In the following schematic an example of application of GPIO is shown. Fig. 2.4: QUARK R1230CB GPIO connection example
QUARK R1230CB - quark Technical Information Manual 15 External reset R1230CB manual reset can be performed by forcing at low level /RESET pin for 10μs at least. /RESET pin is pulled-up by an internal resistor. Fig. 2.5: QUARK R1230CB external reset UART connection The RXD/TXD pins are used to communicate with the R1230CB board via UART port. Since Quark RX/TX are TTL level signals, in order to connect it with a PC, a TTL/RS232 translator shall be used (please refer to the diagram below). To establish a link with the device host COM port shall be configured as follows: Baud rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: none Fig. 2.6: QUARK R1230CB RS232 connection

An upgrade software has been developed to be used with Quark evaluation board (mod. R1230CBEVB). Note: It is not possible to upgrade the firmware using the Quark Adapter Board (mod. R1230ADAT). BSL operation In order to start the BSL of Quark internal microcontroller /RST, TST and BSL_SEL signal shall be driven as in the picture below: Fig. 2.7: BSL sequence
QUARK R1230CB - quark Technical Information Manual 17 The BSL program execution starts when TST pin has received a minimum of two positive transitions and if TST is high while /RST rises from low to high. BSL_SEL shall be at high level before BSL starts. Pulses length and distance between edges of all signals shall be 10ms at least. Firmware upgrade via R1230CBEVB board Quark firmware upgrade can be managed via USB by using the evaluation board (mod.R1230CBEVB) and the SW upgrade program. The Quark Upgrade Tool is available for free at Quark R1230CB page of the CAEN RFID Web Site. In order to upgrade the firmware follow the steps below: - Connect to the USB port the evaluation board with the Quark reader installed - Verify the virtual COM port associated to the board - Open the FW upgrade program - Select the COM port - Select the image file by clicking on “Open” button - Click on “Upgrade” button - Wait for the upgrade to be completed - Disconnect the USB cable from the evaluation board - Connect again the USB cable in order to restore normal reader operation.

Quark REGULATORY COMPLIANCE - quark Technical Information Manual 26 5 Quark REGULATORY COMPLIANCE FCC Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. NOTE: a. Any changes or modification not approved by CAEN RFID could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. b. The QUARK R1230CB Module, which is rated at 200 mW output, is approved for operation with the following antennas: 1. CAENRFID antenna Mod. WANTENNAX012 (Linear polarized antenna 1.3dBi gain 902 - 928 MHz). 2. CAENRFID antenna Mod. WANT021XMMCX (QUAD Circular Polarized Quadrifilar Antenna; 0.7dBi gain). Use of other than the approved antennas with this unit may result in harmful interference with other users, and cause the unit to fail to meet regulatory requirements. c. This transmitter module is authorized to be used in other devices only by OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1. The RFID Module antenna shall have a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter d. In case that the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be necessary. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing the end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). In the event that these conditions can not be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In such case the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. e. If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, the OEM integrator shall apply a label in a visible area on his product with the following statement: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: UVECAENRFID016 or Contains FCC ID: UVECAENRFID016 f. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. RoHS EU Directive Quark R1230CB Reader is compliant with the EU Directive 2011/65/CE on the Restriction of the Use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS).
