This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada’s licence-
exempt RSSs.
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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
(2) l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance voids
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.

Connecting the Device
BF-IDM23 devices operate in combination with BIS V processor units when connected to one of
the ports labeled with "H1" to "H4". For the connection a shielded standard type 4-wire
cable M12 / A-coded is used.
Picture 1: Example Application
To ensure reliable operation in strong EMC environments it is recommended to connect metal
housings or dedicated functional ground pins directly to installations ground. The ground
connection should be short and stable. Depending on the installation situation an indirect
ground connection using a RC combination may be required.
For further notes concerning the installation of the processor unit please refer to the operating
guide of the processor unit.

Installation notes
For proper operation at first a suitable mounting position has to be evaluated. The position
should respect the recommended clear zones as described. Furthermore, please note that
strong electrical or magnetic fields in the close environment may influence the RFID Reader.
Precise information concerning clear zones and distances are available on request.
For BF-IDM23 Readers are available in different housings respectively shapes different types of
installation may be considered.

Setup and Operation
For operation of BF-IDM23 Readers a BIS V type processor unit is needed. The processor unit
is used as gateway between higher level controllers and RFID Reader. Any communication
from and to data carriers respectively RFID Readers is managed by the processor unit.
Further information concerning the operation or parameterization of RFID Readers can be found
operating guide of the processor unit.
Status Indicators
The device will show its status using the 2 LEDs at the corners of the housing. In normal
operation state the meaning of these lights are as follows:
Green light "Power" indicates that the device is connected to the processor unit and ready to
operate.
Orange light "Tag present" indicates that a RFID tag has been detected in front of the
transceiver coil.
