3 Operating Instructions
3.1 Introduction
RFID POS READER V2
is the electronics system of an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio
frequency identification (RFID) system (typically called an interrogator or reader) which
communicates with targets that are applied to or incorporated into an item. The targets
(typically referred to as tags or labels) serve to identify the item to which it is attached based
on a unique ID stored on the target.

ATTENTION
The RFID POS READER V2 antenna ports may be susceptible to damage from static
discharge or other high voltage. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to
avoid static discharge when handling or making connections to the RFID POS READER V2
antenna or communication ports. Equipment failure can result if the antenna or
communication ports are subjected to ESD.
3.2 Installation
The RFID POS READER V2 is build in a Point of Sale System, for the installation guidelines refer to the

Caution: This device has been designed to operate with no more than 1 Watt into the antenna and an
antenna gain of no more than 6 dBic. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per
regulations of Industry Canada, unless power into the antenna is decreased to compensate
for the increased antenna gain. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required
for successful communication.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such
that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general
population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website at
