Description
The ACM1281 NFC Reader module is a 13.56MHz transceiver designed to read Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) tags. This module is based on an NXP Semiconductors RC531 completely
integrated for all kinds of passive contactless communication methods and protocols at 13.56MHz.
The ACM1281’s antenna is integrated into the circuit board so there is no external antenna required.

8.0. Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC/IC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation.
The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the Advanced Card Systems Ltd.
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Installation in end‐user equipment
This device has been modularly approved and is intended solely for use in Advanced Card Systems
Ltd. products. Advanced Card Systems Ltd. will retain control over the final installation of the device,
such that compliance in the end‐user equipment is assured. The end‐user equipment will be tested
for spurious and radiated emissions to ensure the end device complies with FCC Part 15 limits.
