PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The ID-125 is our latest advanced reader for the
popular EM4001 format 125KHz tags to be
introduced by ID-Innovations. Read ranges of up to
125 cm are possible with our Long Range Cards and
up to 80cm with our ISO cards. Advanced features
include auto-tuning and DSP capabilities to increase
read range and to reduce unwanted vibration and
interference. The ID-125 also features RS232,
Wiegand26, Wiegand34, Magnetic ABA Track2
10digit and Magnetic ABA Track2 14digit output
formats. Furthermore, the reader is encapsulated for
environmental protection. The ID-125 has special
anti-interference software that allows readers that
are set more than 150cm apart to work without
significant loss of range. The ID-125 is thus ideal
for car park applications administration and
assembling line functions.
Features
Description
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) is used to provide
superior range and reduce vibration and electrical
noise effects. These effects are not eliminated so
care should still be taken to position the equipment
away from sources of electrical noise and vibration.
Installation
Position the ID-125 away from sources of
interference such as main wiring. Do not fix the
reader antenna on solid steel objects or range loss
will occur and the auto-tuning may even run out
of range. Moderate metal fixtures are acceptable.
Computer monitors used in DOS mode can result
in powerful interference especially when older
monitors are used. Vibration can also cause loss
of range.
If possible use a 1amp regulated linear Power
Supply. Most Switching regulators are excellent
but some can sometimes produce powerful
interference and can reduce read-range.
The ID 125 reader should be positioned to avoid
direct sunlight and away from lightning
discharges. A lightning strike on the DC supply or
data cables will take out the readers along with
anything thing else on the lines

Report Format
Upon switch-on the reader sends a report via the RS232 line. The report indicates the Software Revision and
the Tuning Variable. A typical report will be as follows (hex values):
Day
Month
Year
Revision #
Tune Variable
Arithmetic Checksum
01

08
04
1F
The Tune Variable indicates the Tuning Capacity. A figure between 01h-0Dh is OK. A figure outside this
range can be caused by environmental demands, possibly due to fixing directly onto sheet steel.

In Weigand Mode 1.5k pull-up resistors for Data0 and Data1 signals are required. In Magnetic Mode 1.5K pull-ups to Data, Clock and
Card Present are required. Note that these resistors are usually already provided in the controller and generally do not need to be added.
