Document type: Title: Revision date: Revision: User's Manual (MUT) A829US Fully integrated UHF compact reade (FCC part15) 23/01/2007 2 1. Introduction The A829US is a multi protocol fully integrated UHF low power short range reader designed specifically to be used in desktop or embedded RFID application. The A829US is fully compliant to the US telecommunication regulation FCC part 15 (902-928 MHz) and it is the reader solution to solve the problem of proximity reading/writing of tags and labels, where transponders are up to 1 metre distance from the reader. Currently the A829US Module supports the ISO18000-6 B, the Philips UCODE EPC 1.19 and EPC Class1 Gen2 protocols. Other future UHF protocols will be available by firmware upgrade. The A829US houses an integrated antenna, and an USB interface for PC connection. It is a bus powered USB device designed to operate as a stand alone PC peripheral communicating via an USB serial port. Fig. 1.1: Mod.
