 Revision: 09 LF-134-CAN-M Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual  page 13 of 34 4  Compliances 4.1  USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) LF-134-CAN-M  is  a  class A digital device.  It  is a digital device that  is marketed for use  in a commercial, industrial or business environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the general public or is intended to be used in the home. 4.1.1  Compliance The product complies with FCC Subpart C – Intentional Radiators §15.201 and with Subpart J – Equipment Authorization Procedures § 2.209, when used for its intended purpose. All emissions are at least 40 dB below the limits in § 15.209 and are verified pursuant to the procedures in FCC Subpart J of part 2. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equip-ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful  interference to radio communica-tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. 4.1.2  Antenna Requirements The antenna is  removable and  does  not employ a unique connector; however, the device  is professionally installed and maintained. Therefore, the described reader LF-134-CAN-M  com-plies with FCC15.203. 4.1.3  Labeling Requirements The  described  reader  LF-134-CAN-M  is  not  large  enough  to  accommodate  a  label  with  the standard FCC compliance statement. It is therefore provided here as follows: 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. For further information please see chapter 5.2. 4.2  Europe CE-Conformity The EC-declaration of conformity is included in appendix in chapter 13.1. Caution       Changes  or  modifications  not  expressly  approved  by  the  party  responsible  for compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

 Revision: 09 LF-134-CAN-M Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual  page 18 of 34 6.4  External Antenna specification The external antenna will be connected to the antenna Binder Plug Socket. Antenna wire thick-ness should be at least 0.5 mm but it can be an air coil or ferrite coil.  Antenna specification  Frequency 134,2 kHz Inductivity 48 µH +/- 3% Our most common used antenna design is a 65mm ferrite coil. It can provide reading ranges   for at least 200mm with a 23mm glass tube read-only transponder. This  is  just  an  example  Antenna-Design. For  detailed  information  about  all  available Antenna  types  and  corresponding  reading ranges,  please  refer  to  the  separate Datasheets like: -  ANT04-35EB -  ANT08-65EBF (High Flex Cable) -  ANT10-100EBF (High Flex Cable)  6.5  Reading and writing ranges The following  antenna  range figures are measures by using our most common  antenna  type ANT08-65EB. This is just an example to show how the antenna ranges are correlating with dif-ferent transponder (tag) positions. Detailed information about all available antenna types and their corresponding ranges, please refer to chapter 12.5 and the separate antenna data sheets like: -  ANT04-35EB -  ANT08-65EBF (High Flex Cable) -  ANT10-100EBF (High Flex Cable) The following reading ranges are measured with best conditions; in real environment the ranges will be much smaller due to disturbing material, like metal or other electro-magnetically fields near the antenna location. Please improve the condition before finally decision of the antenna location. Writing ranges under same conditions are approx. 60% of the below described reading ranges. Close to the antenna tag reading and writing will also be not possible, so prevent a tag place-ment very close to the antenna, as a guide value prevent a distance below 10 mm.

 Revision: 09 LF-134-CAN-M Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual  page 20 of 34 7  Hardware Configuration 7.1  CAN-Bus Address Configuration  To  change  the  CAN-Address it’s  necessary  to  open the  de-vice  by  removing  two  screws on the top cover. ATTETION: Make  sure  the device  is pow-ered off before remove the top cover!  The CAN-ID will be read on every power up cycle. That means if the CAN-ID became changed during power on, the device must be restarted by power off and on again to be able to use the new ID. The ID can set from 1 to 127 in  binary  code  by  using  the DIP-Switches No.1-7. The  DIP-Switch  No.8  has  to be off at all time. The  CAN  ID-block  uses  an 11  Bit  identifier  and  not  the extended 29 Bit identifier.  Following table shows some configuration examples of how to set the CAN-ID (Reader Ad-dress).

 Revision: 09 LF-134-CAN-M Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual  page 22 of 34 8  Installation 8.1  General All  ID-Readers  will  be  connected  through  CAN-Bus  to  the  CAN2Web-Advanced  box. Depending on your CAN2Web Version (MINI/MIDI/MAXI) a maximum number of 8 (MINI) or 50 (MIDI/MAXI) readers can be connected to one box. The maximum CAN-cable length is 100 m. If more than 10 Reader Devices (MIDI/MAXI) needs to be connected, a special CAN/Power split cable is necessary. Please refer to the separate data sheet of CAN-POWER-INJECTOR and the user manual of CAN2Web Advanced. NOTE: Before power on the ID-Reader Network, it’s necessary to make sure the CAN-ID (Ad-dress) for each ID-Reader device is setup correctly like in the following figures. The CAN2Web-Gateways are preconfigured with CAN-ID 0 – there is no need for change. The readers usually will  be  delivered  with  preconfigured  CAN-IDs  depending  on  customer  requests.  In  case  of changes needs to be done, it is shown how to change the CAN-IDs in Section 0. 8.2  Connection Layout for CAN-BUS / Power (CAN2Web-A-MINI) This two example figures are showing how the ID-Reader Network can be built.

 Revision: 09 LF-134-CAN-M Low Frequency RFID Reader User Manual  page 24 of 34 8.4  Installation guide for RFID ferrite core antennas This guide shall show you the best way to install RFID antennas to your devices to achieve safe reading results. It considers two possible orientations between antenna and ID tag: 1.  Antenna is orthogonal to the ID tag. 2.  Antenna is parallel to the ID tag.  General information: - Don’t attach RFID antennas directly to metal surfaces and avoid ferromagnetic materi-als! Leave a gap of at least 5mm and use plastic mountings and screws for fixing the an-tenna. - Don’t install antennas, cables or reading devices close to electromagnetic radiating de-vices such as switched-mode power supplies! -  Only use shielded cables and try not to loop the remains! -  Try to align antenna and ID tag in one layer. (see case explanations) - Maximum distances are given for best surrounding conditions. In reality the max-imum distances may be lower due to other electromagnetic interferences! So, try to keep the distance between antenna and ID tag as low as possible.  Case 1: Antenna orthogonal to ID tag  Case 2: Antenna parallel to ID tag   Antenna type ANT08-65E  Antenna type ANT08-65E  d1 min = 10 mm d1 max = 80 mm   d2 min = 10 mm d3 min = 10 mm d2 max = 200 mm d3 max = 100 mm   Considering the suggested alignment between antenna and ID tag should perform best results.
