LPP1712 OMR
1. GENERAL INFORMATION ON IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS
The BALOGH identification system allows a user to associate information with a physical object
(Pallet, Carrier, Vehicle, Part etc.) by means of a radio frequency identification tags.
This information can be read as a fixed code for read only tags, or information can be read and
modified with read/write tags. This is all done without contact at a distance with a suitable
transceiver (antenna).
The dialogue between the RFID tag and the transceiver is managed by a BALOGH control
board/interface.
A BALOGH RFID system for read only or read/write will consist of two elements :
· A transceiver,
· A control board/ interface.
For dialogue between the transceiver and tags, two technologies are possible :
· Inductive technology, tags have no on-board power source receiving all the
required energy for operation by means of a electromagnetic field emanating from the
transceiver;
· Infrared technology, tags contain a power source for dialogue and safeguard of the
information in memory.
The BALOGH control board/ interface controls the transceiver, and the dialogue with the
RFID tag. The control board/ interface then communicates data to and from the host controls.
Depending on the customers choice of controls and type of application, BALOGH offers a large
range of products to match an application:
· Parallel control boards,
· Serial (RS 232, 422, 485) with a large selection of protocols, or Fieldbus networks,
· Programmable control boards allowing a user to control local devices automatically.
Monobloc is a control board and transceiver within one enclosure.
Handheld units are portable read or read/write devices.

2. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONALITY
2.1. DESCRIPTION
The LPP1712 OMR is a handheld used to check and program the OMR tags.
The unit operates on four AA batteries type LR6.
The sensing face is located on the top of the unit.
Information is input on the keypad and viewed on the LCD display.
Characteristics :
· Operating temperature : 0 to 50 °C
· Weight : 430 g.
2.2. FUNCTIONALITY
LPP1712 OMR
The OMR tag is a 2 bytes (1 word) read only tag.
The maximal data value, that can be programmed in the tag, is therefore FFFF hex or 65,535
decimal.
The code is secure and replicated a number of times for MOL81 transceiver series to read it more
easily.
When conducting a read of the tag the LPP1712 OMR copies the data read into its buffer and
checks the tag integrity by ensuring that the same code is repeated in the tag.
It transfers the contents from the buffer to the tag when programming the tag.
The contents of the LPP1712 OMR buffer is visualized on the LPP 1712 OMR display, and for
programming (writing) modified using the keypad.

3. KEYPAD
Each key on the keypad has two functions.
Switching between each function is done with the F key.

4. OPERATION
4.1. START
LPP1712 OMR
Power sequencing of the LPP1712 OMR is done by the On/Off key.
The reading or programming of an OMR tag is done by placing the tag in front of the sensing
face of the LPP1712 OMR (distance is within a few centimeters) making sure the arrows on the
TAG are parallel to arrows on the LPP 1712 OMR.
Power shutdown of the unit occurs :
� Automatically after 7 minutes without activity.
� Manually using the ON/OFF button on the keypad.
In both cases the internal buffer is erased on power down.
4.2. DISPLAY
Data is displayed in two formats :
1. The buffer is displayed in one the following formats:
� Byte format (switch between bytes with + / - ) in Hexadecimal (this is the default mode
when unit is powered up) :
BYTE / HEX
� Byte format (switch between bytes with + / - ) in Decimal :
BYTE / DEC
This is done by pressing the F key then h/d key. Repeating this returns to Hexadecimal.
� Change display to word format in decimal press F then key a
65535 (Max. value for 2 bytes 1 word) DEC
repeating this returns display back to byte format.
Data can be entered in decimal or hexadecimal in the LPP1712 OMR. To clear data use the C key.
2. Function : the required function (reading or writing of a tag) is displayed.
4.3. FUNCTIONS
1. Reading : push the R key: "RF tag reading" is displayed,
2. Writing :
� In the buffer display function, enter the datas to write to the tag (two bytes or a word),
� Push the F key then W (only W when you are in word format because F returns to byte
format): "writing" is displayed.
When the display returns to the last format before the operation this indicates a successful read
or write. In the case of a read the data from the tag will be displayed.
If the operation message does not change or in case of fault message: press C to clear the
operation.
Note: unless the tag is within the transmission zone, it is still possible to rescind the command
by holding down for some time the R or W (without pushing F) key respectively.
