5.5 POWER SAVE
5.5.1 Sleep State
This mode allows the µP in the reader to enter a “Sleep” state for minimum power
consumption. For D-series readers, this command is only valid when hardware
trigger type is selected.
Before entering Sleep mode, the following are verified:
• no commands coming from Host
• no data being transmitted to Host
• Enter Sleep Timeout ended (see par.5.5.2)
To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.
For M-series readers, sleep state is entered immediately after reading a code and is
not configurable. To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.
5.5.2 Enter Sleep Timeout
For readers that have the Sleep state enabled, this timeout determines when the
reader will enter this state.
5.6 READING PARAMETERS
5.6.1 Trigger Signal
This mode determines how the reading phase is controlled when the hardware
trigger type is selected:
• trigger active level: the reader goes ON when the trigger is pressed and goes
OFF when it is released
• trigger active pulse: the reader goes ON at the first trigger press and goes OFF
only at a second press
5.6.2 Trigger-Off Timeout
When this timeout is selected, the reader turns OFF automatically after the desired
period of time.
