Instructions for use
Installation
When NFC Scanner is connected to the computer for the first time, if an internet connection is
available, an automatic installation take place. If the internet connection is not available or no suit-
able driver is automatically found download driver and installation guide at the following link:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Connection of NFC Scanner to the computer
Connect NFC Scanner to the computer to recharge the battery, to configure the device through the
TT_RFID_Configurator application, to carry out operation testing through the TT_RFID_PCDemo
application or to send commands to it according to the specific TERTIUM Technology protocol (see
TERTIUM_RFID_Reader_Protocol.pdf ).
Connect NFC Scanner to a USB port.
Once connected, the state of the LEDs and the acoustic signal will indicate the state of the RFID
reader as explained in the paragraph “Charging the battery”.
NOTE: when NFC Scanner is connected to the computer through USB, the Bluetooth
®
interface is
enabled as well. Once NFC Scanner is connected to Bluetooth
®
interface the USB interface will be
disabled. To use USB interface again unplugged NFC Scanner, switch it off if necessary and plug it
again.
Disconnection of NFC Scanner
To disconnect NFC Scanner from the computer, simply disconnect the USB cable. If Bluetooth
®
interface is not connected the reader switches off automatically.
To switch off NFC Scanner when Bluetooth
®
interface is connected, press the button for 2 seconds
after disconnecting the cable.
Connection of NFC Scanner through luetooth
®
NFC Scanner can be connected through Bluetooth
®
low energy to any device such as a computer
or smartphone supplied with this interface.
To connect and use NFC Scanner you need a specific application that can connect to a Bluetooth
Smart device and manage a bi-directional communication.
If NFC Scanner is powered via USB and the Bluetooth connection is active, the user can unplug the
reader without loosing the connection; NFC Scanner will be automatically battery powered.
When connected via Bluetooth
®
the blue LED stops to makes the 3 quick flashes.

Charging the battery
NFC Scanner is equipped with an internal, non-user-replaceable, rechargeable battery. The high
performing Li-Poly battery guarantees up to 1 000 readings.
A discharged battery is completely charged in about 3. hours.
To recharge NFC Scanner, connect it to the computer via USB or a wall adapter power supply. The
reader automatically switches on and the state of the battery charge is signalled by the blue LED
as described in the following paragraph.
Control of the battery charge status
When the NFC Scanner is switched on with the button, the following situations related to the
battery’s charge level may occur:
•an acoustic signal and a fixed blue LED: charged battery (*)
•an acoustic signal and the blue LED blinks each seconds: low battery charge (*)
•no acoustic signal and quick blinking blue LED: battery charge very low. No operation is
possible in this condition; if the reader is not switched off, it will automatically switch off
after 10 sec. It is recommended to charge NFC Scanner up to complete recharge.
If the blue LED starts to blink every seconds during normal use of NFC Scanner, it means that very
little charge is left. The reader will only have few minutes of autonomy.
If you continue to use it, the LED will begin to blink quickly signalling a very low battery charge as
described above.
When NFC Scanner is connected to the computer, the following situations related to the battery
charge level may occur:
•an acoustic signal and a fixed blue LED: charged battery (*)
•an acoustic signal and blinking blue LED: battery charging (*). While charging it's possible
to use NFC Scanner as usual, both connections USB or Bluetooth
®
are available.
(*) 3 quick flashes each 3 seconds means Bluetooth
®
disconnected
In Table 1, you can see the activities of the blue LED and of the acoustic beeper related to the bat-
tery level.
Hardware reset
To reset the device hold the button for 6 seconds (yellow led is switched on during this interval
time) until NFC Scanner makes the power on sound.
Reading distance
NFC Scanner is equipped with an integrated antenna, for the reading of TAG RFID, located above
the button as shown in Figure 1.
The ideal reading distance and conditions for NFC Scanner are as follows.
NOTE: the reading distance varies based on the type of TAG. Also, metal objects and surfaces
located very near NFC Scanner can notably invalidate the reader's performance.

NFC Scanner reader supports the ISO 1 693 standard and ISO 14443A (only ID) and is able to
read TAG RFID to a maximum distance of 6 cm. The optimal conditions of reading are obtained
positioning the TAG inside the field pointed out in Figure 2 (the figure is for example purpose only
and doesn't represent the real antenna radiation pattern).

Configuration of NFC Scanner
NFC Scanner is an RFID reader able to read one or more TAGs and to transmit data via Bluetooth
®
or USB to any device provided with such interfaces.
NFC Scanner is a highly configurable device: it is possible to choose scanning activation mode, the
scanning timeout, the enabling/disabling of the signalling LED and the acoustic beeper, the frame
format, etc.
The configuration can be done through the serial commands, as described in the document
TERTIUM_RFID_Reader_Protocol.pdf
or more simply through the
TT_RFID_Configurator
application supplied in the SDK.
To configure NFC Scanner using
TT_RFID_Configurator,
connect NFC Scanner to the computer with
the USB cable and execute the application; in the section “Device selection”, select the BlueBerry
HF device to configure and the COM to which it is connected. Click on the “Connect to device”
button. If the connection is successful, the LED next to the Com becomes green and the state of
the device and the firmware version will be indicated below (e.g. “Status: Connected v9.2”).
Click on the button “Read config” to read the current configuration of NFC Scanner.
The
TT_RFID_Configurator
main window with the default configuration of NFC Scanner is shown
in Fig. 3.

low energy name and pincode are available in the label on the bottom side of the NFC
Scanner. For example:
BBN00046-668741
where:
BBN00046 is the Bluetooth

668741 is the pincode
These, together with other parameters, are available sending specific commands via USB or
remotely.
