The Texas Instruments’ low-frequency (LF) reader provides all the functionality required to communicate with

Texas Instruments 134.2 kHz LF transponders which are available in a variety of form factors. The

RI-RFM-008B radio frequency power module is capable driving the RI-ACC-008B, which then forms the

resonant circuit with the antenna. The distance between the antenna - RI-ACC-008B combination and the reader

(RI-RFM-008B + control module) can be extended up to 120 meters when connected by a symmetrical twinax

cable.

The RI-ACC-008B radio frequency power module is capable driving a variety of antennas with extended

inductance ranges from 8µH to 80µH including TI standard antennas RI-ANT-G01E, RI-ANT-G02E,

RI-ANT-G04E gate antennas as well as RI-ANT-S01C and RI-ANT-S02C stick antennas. The RI-RFM-008 is

designed to be connected to control modules RI-CTL-MB2A (RS232 interface) or RI-CTL-MB6A (RS422/485

interface) which provide the interface to connect a host system, power supply connectors and additional I/O’s.

The RI-RFM-008B module in combination with a control module and the RI-ACC-008B is well suited for usage in

a broad range of applications including, but not limited to, access control, vehicle identification, container

tracking, asset management and waste management applications.

The Series 2000 High Performance Remote Antenna RFM together with the Antenna Tuning Module supports

the use of antennas installed at a distance of up to 120 meters. It is the interface between the 134.2 kHz

HDX/FSK transponder and the Data Processing Unit. It sends an energizing signal to the transponder,

modulates the RF signal to send data to the transponder, receives the identification signal and processes it for

digital decoding.
