Introduction
The “IDE-X-LA” Reader/Writer is a Desktop contactless smart card/tag reader and writer. It
supports LEGIC RF standards, ISO 14443A/B, ISO 15693, FeliCa tags. The reader provides 13.56
MHz inductive interface to supply power in order to exchange data with the MIFARE/ISO, LEGIC
compliant cards and interfacing with the host PC via USB for data exchange.
Mounting and Connection
The reader generates magnetic field at 13.56MHz which could be influenced by any electrically
conductive material close to the device. To ensure good performances and functionalities in terms
of read range and reliability a minimum distance of 20 mm from such materials is required when
mounting the unit. Mounting the reader directly or closed to metal would result into a severe
reduction of read range or even zero functionality. Care should be taken when testing the
assembled-reader at a problematic environment: Read ranges and performance vary from card to
card and very much from card to tag or key-fob.
When mounting multiple readers, a minimum distance of 0.5 meters between them should be
observed in order to avoid degradation of performance due to interference.
The reader is supplied with an USB-cable to connect the device to the host PC as following.

Operation
Whenever the device is connected to a proper power supply, it will switch on the internal antenna
and periodically scan for a card. Once a card has been detected, the card number is read, the data
converted and sent to the host system through the serial interface. To enable the device to read
cards, tags and key-fobs successfully, they should be placed centered above the reader. The reader
may also provide a keypad that may used to enter user identification number.

FCC ID OKY10094100A03B
IC: 7657A- 10094100
NOTICE:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s).
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, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by BALTECH AG may void
the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
NOTE: 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 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. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
