13 - 62 Revision: 3.5 LF-134-SER-P.M-V3.1 Manual V3.5.docx 3 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Class A digital device. 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 pub-lic or is intended to be used in the home. 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 pro-tection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi-ronment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interfe-rence to radio communications. 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. Antenna Requirements The antenna is removable and does not employ a unique connector; however, the device is professionally installed and maintained. Therefore, the described LF Reader complies with FCC15.203. Labeling Requirements The described LF Reader 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 ac-cept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Example Command: TargetID HCS WAR [Paramname]  [Paramvalue]  Request: TargetID HCA WADA [SSACK] 7.4.3.4 RR – Read request The RR-command performs a data read from Notepad memory (CID_MAX_LENGTH  page 17). Example Command: TargetID HCS RR [Offset] [Length](CR/LF) Offset = startbyte for reading behind CID Length = bytes to read Response: TargetID HCA RDA [SSACK] [DATA] 7.4.3.5 WDR – Write data request This command is used to write data to Notepad memory. It writes data in blocks of 8 bytes. Example Command: TargetID HCS RR [Offset] [Length] [Data](CR/LF) Offset = startbyte for writing behind CID (it has to be match begin of a page e.g. 0 / 8 / 16 ... 112) Length = bytes to write Data = data to write Response: TargetID HCA WDRA [SSACK] Note: This command does not apply to single page or 'read only' transponder! 7.4.3.6 RMID – Read material ID request This command reads the CID using parameter CarrierIDOffset and CarrierIDLength.

56 - 62 Revision: 3.5 LF-134-SER-P.M-V3.1 Manual V3.5.docx 8.3 Maximum reading and writing ranges The 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 anten-na 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 placement very close to the antenna, as a guide value prevent a distance below 10 mm. Antenna cable, which is available as default, up to 2 m. To prevent trouble please contact our support team if you expect problems with the place-ment of the antenna in your special case!

58 - 62 Revision: 3.5 LF-134-SER-P.M-V3.1 Manual V3.5.docx 8.4 Minimum reading and writing range Minimum reading and writing range means the range, which has to be kept between the an-tenna and the transponder in order to have successful reading or writing. Distances between antenna and transponder smaller than the minimum read-ing and writing range are not allowed. Minimum reading and writing range depends on antenna to transponder orientation. The fol-lowing table shows the minimum reading and writing range for parallel and orthogonal orien-tation between antenna and transponder. Minimum reading and writing range was measured by the distance between the antenna housing boundary and the transponder boundary with a standard antenna. PARALLEL orientation between antenna and transponder: ORTHOGONAL orientation between an-tenna and transponder: Minimum reading and writing range decreases at theoretical zero points (where theoretically no reading and writing is possible) and increases at theoretical maximum points. It can be expected that the minimum reading and writing range has a scaled characteristic/course of the maximum reading and writing range.
