7.2.1
Structure of the Communication Protocol
General remarks:
The communication is done with ASCII packages.
Each reader represents a RFID reader with an RS232 interface to
which an address from 0 to E can be assigned. When the reader is
delivered, the address is 0.
After each command to the reader, a defined response is sent. We
recommend waiting for this response before sending a new
command.
7.2.2
Package Contents
General remarks:
Each package includes a package header (three characters), a message

CAUTION
The RFID Reader LF80C ZeniD is designed to be operated by specially
trained personnel only. If you have doubts about the required
qualifications, contact the manufacturer.
Operating the device without special training can result in damage to the
