FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. 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.
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 encourage 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.
The MCR was submitted and a grant of authorisation received from the FCC as a modular
device under the intentional radiator requirements of part 15, Subpart C.
The party that incorporates the MCR into their product is responsible for verification of the
emissions produced by the final product and must adhere to the limits specified in the code
of Federal Regulations 47, Part 15, Subpart B.
Furthermore, a label must be applied on the exterior of the final product, referring to this
enclosed module, which shall state, “Contains FCC ID: Q47-MCROEM” or “Contains
Transmitter Module FCC ID: Q47-MCROEM”.
Notice: When an AC to DC power source is used to supply power to the integrated
equipment, the final equipment will also have to comply with the AC line conducted
emissions according to FCC Part 15, Subpart B.
Warning: Any changes or modifications not expressively approved by ERG Transit
Systems could void the user's authority to operate this equipment

Overview of the MCR
The MCROEM Module is an easy-to-use, economical means of introducing contact-less
smart card capability into a host. Figure 1 contains a picture of the MCROEM Module.
Section 3 provides an overview of the module architecture. Section 4 provides a description
of the interface connector and pins. Section 5 provides dimensional details, section 6
describes how the MCR is to be mounted inside the host and Section 7 describes the final
tuning procedure.
Figure 1: MCROEM Module
The MCROEM module is a compact contact-less reader, which enables developers to
rapidly add contact-less functionality to new or existing products.
Each MCR consists of a Control Board and Antenna Board; this set is tuned and tested at
the factory prior to shipment. Each set is shipped with a 100 mm interconnecting cable as
shown in Figure 1.
The MCR serves as the data communications link between customer smart cards and the
host in which the MCR is installed.
For MCR-to-Card communications, the Control Board receives data signals from the host. It
then transmits the data signals via RF to a smart card held within reading distance of the
MCR’s Antenna Board. For Card-to-MCR communications, RF data signals from the smart
card are received by the Control Board via the Antenna Board where they are sent to the
host via connector 1 located on the Control Board. Figure 2 contains a block diagram that
illustrates the MCR mode of operation.

Figure 2: MCROEM Module – Operation
For implementation into simple products, the MCR can be utilised as the controller of the
product, allowing for driving an onboard LCD and TTL I/O devices. Hence, all interfacing to
the device is via the MCR host connector. With the implementation of LCD and I/O, the MCR
CPU will, via commands from the host, display text/graphics and operate any I/O
implemented via the CPU port pins.
In more complex devices with their own LCD and I/O, or devices with no need for these
features, these circuit options can be depopulated during manufacturing to reduce costs.

Module architecture
The Control Board contains a microprocessor, non-volatile memory, and radio frequency
transmitting and receiving circuitry. This board communicates with smart cards via a RF link
provided by the Antenna Board, and to the host terminal or integrated product via a RS-422
or RS-232 serial protocol.
The Antenna Board consists of a printed circuit board with copper traces forming the
transmit and receive antenna. The board is attached to a ferrite plate and a metal back plate
that serves as a ground plane.
Control of a device LCD and device I/O is achieved via direct access to port pins and the
data bus on the CPU. By sending appropriate command instructions via the serial link, the
LCD and device I/O can be operated.
The module architecture is illustrated in Figure 3.

Mounting Holes
All mounting holes are M3.2. The mounting holes are aligned and may be used with screws
and plastic spacers to secure the MCR inside the product. The 100 mm cable allows the
Control Board and Antenna Board to be separated to accommodate different mounting
scenarios. For instance, the boards could be stacked, mounted side by side or mounted on
an angle.
Spacers between the shield and control pcb, ensure the shield remains fixed to the control
pcb, and eliminates shield deformation during assembly into the final device.

Mounting guidelines
These guidelines are intended to assist product designers maximise the operation of the
MCR in products:
•
Ensure that any metalwork and/or EMC coatings are at least 15 mm away from the sides
of the antenna board in a horizontal plane and more than 5 mm below the vertical plane.
Designers should use the maximum possible clearance.
•
The top of the antenna PCB (non-metallic side) must face towards the card reading
surface of the terminal and be less than 5 mm from the top surface. Any increase in this
distance will impact the Reader performance, and may result in the product being unable
to meet the project’s specifications, particularly the operating distance.
•
The surface of the target area, which is directly above the Antenna Board, must be a
non-metallic surface such as plastic and be free of any metallic particles.
•
It should be possible to tune the reader using the tuning capacitor shown in Figure 10
while leaving the antenna PCB fixed to the product. The product should ideally be
designed to permit re-tuning once the MCR is fitted.
•
Removal of the shield to mount the MCR in ways not otherwise possible will breach the
FCC regulations and void all warranty.
•
Ensure that the cable interconnecting the Antenna Board to the Control Board is located
away from metal surfaces and that the cable is fixed to avoid movement. Any movement
may degrade the reader performance, as the cable is an active part of the antenna
system.
•
Ideally, both the control and antenna PCBs should be kept together as a unit.

Antenna Tuning
The MCR is tuned at the factory for maximum operating range. It may be necessary to
retune the MCR when it is mounted into a host device to compensate for the effects of the
mounting environment (such as metallic parts or metallic paint near the antenna) and to
ensure optimum performance. For this function, use an active smart card that is initialised
for use with the particular host application.
1)
With the MCR mounted in its operational environment place the test smart card onto
the card reading surface of the terminal. Use a non-metallic spacer with the depth of
the desired operating range. For example, if the desired operating range is 50 mm,
then place a 50 mm spacer. Ensure that the host and MCR are powered.
2)
Verify operational range by running the host internal diagnostic routines. Via the
tuning hole in the shield, adjust the tuning by rotating CV1 using a plastic tuning tool to
maximise the operating distance.
