UHF Long Range Readers ID ISC.LRU3000 / LRU3500 Reader
The ID ISC.LRU3000 and the ID ISC.LRU3500 are the new top of the line Long Range Reader
versions of the OBID i-
scan
UHF
product line. They are the most powerful fixed readers in the
OBID i-
scan
UHF
product family.
The LRU3000 and the LRU3500 are the successors of the LRU2000 and have the following key
features:
•
New Low Noise Transmitter Architecture
•
High sensitivity receiver increases the tag detection range so that transponders can be read
over the entire power up, field strength area.
•
Powerful Tag response decoding engine to decode FM0 and Miller coded return link signals
for e.g. Dense Reader Mode or ISO 18000-6-B (optional).
•
Reader protection against various fault conditions as e.g. antenna shortcut, antenna mis-
matching and electrostatic discharge.
•
Tough, solid aluminium die case housing for rough environments.
•
Quick installation due to easy access to the interfaces and antenna ports.
•
Indication of read events via 4 separate reading point LEDs.
•
Full support for the UHF multiplexer ID ISC.ANT.UMUX results in a possible antenna sys-
tem with a maximum number of 2048 antennas. Control commands are sent via the
antenna cable.
•
Possibility to supply the Reader via Power over Ethernet (PoE) (only with LRU3500)
In addition to the fact that the ID ISC.LRU3000 / 3500 Reader series is having the largest read
range, the platform provides the most extensive configuration possibilities and reader command
set. The base set of commands and features are compatible with the commands used throughout
the OBID i-
scan
product line. The configuration possibilities of the ID ISC.LRU3000 and ID
ISC.LRU3500 make it easy to adapt the readers to a wide range of applications by software and
hardware configurations.
Each reader is controlled by an Application Connectivity Controller (ACC). The ACC uses an ARM
processor running a Linux operating system. The ACC transforms the reader into a powerful and
intelligent device, capable of running application software directly on the reader platform and capa-
ble of connecting and controlling other real world devices. The reader has five hardware interface
ports: Ethernet, RS232, RS485, USB, and a USB-Host port to support a WLAN dongle or memory
stick. All ports are under control of the ACC. Furthermore, the reader has digital I/O’s for direct
control of various trigger possibilities and various outputs for a direct control of several indicators.
