Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction ARE i2.0x LF is a compact industrial reader based on an RS-232 interface. This version is compatible with most LF applications. ARE i2.0x LF uses an external antenna for communication to the transponder. There are various antenna form factors available. -

Page 6: Mounting And Grounding
ARE i2.0x LF is connected via its M12, 5-Pin male A-coded plug. Power supply as well as communication is provided by user. Do only use specified cables. ARE i2.0x LF uses a LED lit RFID symbol on its front side to visually communicate its various states (standby, reading, successful read, no read, error, and so on...). -
Page 7: Read Range For Semi Applications Using Aan Xi9F
The antenna AAN Xi9F is connected via a 3-pin connector on top of ARE i2.0x LF. ARE i2.0x LF uses an external antenna AAN Xi9F. There are air core coil transponders like disks and ferrite core coil transponders like glass tube transponders. It is important to understand the impact of orientation of transponders relative to AAN Xi9F. - Page 8 Version: 13 Manual ARE i2.0x LF release V2 Page: 8 / 34 Glass transponder 90° perpendicular 65mm 65mm 10mm 60mm 60mm The highest read range is achieved right at the perimeter of the antenna housing. *note: only one transponder in the field at a time. Above illustration only shows possible read ranges.

2.2.1 Instruction Set Communication with ARE i2.0x LF is based on a simple ASCII text based protocol. The host sends text based telegrams to ARE i2.0x LF and receives text based telegrams back containing the answer to the query. Communication to ARE i2.0x LF is always triggered by the host. -

TOR – Timeout Reading After a read is triggered by GT, TOR is a time during which ARE i2.0x LF continuously tries to read a transponder UID without the need to be triggered by the host again. This limits bus traffic considerably. Once a successful read is performed, continuous reading stops immediately regardless of time and the transponder UID is transmitted to the host. - Page 11 Version: 13 Manual ARE i2.0x LF release V2 Page: 11 / 34 2.2.6 GT GT – Get Tag GT is used to retrieve the transponder UID. GT uses TOR parameter to define the time during which the reader continuously looks for a transponder without the need for the host to get involved.

WD uses TOR parameter during which the reader continuously looks for a transponder without the need for the host to get involved.
