It has the ability to both read and write up to 256 bytes of data in addition to reading the unique identifier (UID/SID). All of the DLP-RFID-LP8C’s electronics reside on a single compact PCB, and all operational power is taken from the host Windows/Windows CE/Linux PC via the USB interface. Up to 8 external antennas can be connected via standard SMA connectors. 2.0 APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT Demonstration source code written in Visual C++ is available (upon purchase) that demonstrates the communications protocol. Using the Virtual COM Port USB drivers, the DLP-RFID-LP8C appears to the host PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) as an RS232 port.

DLP Design is in the process of obtaining modular approval for this RF product such that an OEM need only meet a few basic requirements in order to utilize their end product under this approval. Corresponding agency identification numbers are listed below: Part Number US/FCC CAN/IC DLP-RFID-LP8C SX90LP8C 5675A-0LP8C 3.2 EXTERNAL ANTENNAS The DLP-RFID1 is approved for use with external antennas. 3.3 FCC/IC REQUIREMENTS FOR MODULAR APPROVAL Any changes or modifications to the DLP-RFID-LP8C’s printed circuit board could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Operation of an unapproved antenna could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 3.4 WARNINGS 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 undesirable operation. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
www.dlpdesign.com sales@dlpdesign.com © 2008 (Preliminary Data) This device is intended for use under the following conditions: 1. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. 2. The module is approved using the FCC “unlicensed modular transmitter approval” method. As long as these two conditions are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance measures necessitated by the installation of this module (i.e. digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (i.e. co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer valid and the corresponding FCC ID may not be used on the final product. Under these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. 3.5 OEM PRODUCT LABELING The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following text: “Contains TX FCC ID: SX90LP8C” 3.6 RF EXPOSURE In order to comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 3.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR OEM INTEGRATORS The end user should NOT be provided with any instructions on how to remove or install the DLP-RFID-LP8C. This device has been certified to operate with the antenna models listed below: DLP Design Large Loop Antenna DLP Design Small Loop Antenna DLP Design Ferrite Antenna 4.0 DISCLAMER Neither the whole nor any part of the information contained herein nor the product described in this datasheet may be adapted or reproduced in any material or electronic form without the prior written consent of the copyright holder.
