1 Application
This document is to describe the installation procedure and application of the
RFID IOT Access Point.
Project Code : WAPS-232N_AS
2 Product Overview
The RFID IOT Access Point is one of many access points in our wireless
IOT solution. Each RFID IOT Access Point can support tens of thousands of
our IOT nodes. Our node is designed to interface to electric meter or an
industrial PC that acts as a concentrator for collecting meter readings. The
interface is based on RS-485. The Node will forward data from the meter or
IPC to the RFID IOT Access Points covering the area, which in turn send the
data to the cloud server where data can be analyze and used for billing
purpose.

2.1 Enclosure Features
The RFID IOT Access Point is designed to be mounted on a mounting pole. It
comes with mount kit as shown here:
2.2 Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)
A CAT5 PoE interface is used to split the Data and Power carried by a CAT5 cable to
the internal equipment. To supply the required current to the equipment, the PoE
adapter that comes in the package should be used.

3 Installation
3.1 Professional Installation
The RFID IOT Access Point, and any associated accessories require professional
installation; a) installation of the equipment must be controlled, b) installation must be
performed by professionals, c) installation of the equipment requires special training.
3.2 Mounting
As described earlier, the RFID IOT Access Point comes with a mount kit for
mounting on a pole. The antennas can be directly connected to the RFID IOT Access
Point, or preferably be extended and mounted on the pole at a meter apart.
3.3 Cabling
Connections
Connect GPS antenna cable to “Ant2”
Connect the 915MHz antenna cables to “Ant3” and “Ant4”
Connect the Power (PoE) to the Access Point at the POE connector
3.4 LED Indicators
None

4 Antenna Parameters
This device has been tested with the antenna listed below, and has a peak gain of 0 dBi.
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Table 1 Typical Antenna
Manufacturer Part Number Gain Type
TSKY Co., Ltd. A8-A003-00108
-0.4 Dipole
TSKY Co., Ltd. A8-A003-00109
1.38 Dipole
Additional equivalent antennas from other manufactures may be substituted and then
marketed with this equipment. Equivalent antennas must be of the same type (e.g.
Omni-Directional) and must be for 915 MHz band and have same out of band
characteristics.
5 Appendix
FCC Statement
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Country Code selection feature to be disabled for products marketed to the
US/CANADA.
Professional installation instruction
The product will be distributed through controlled distribution channel and installed
by trained professional and will not be sold directly to the general public through
retail store.
1. Installation personal
This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by a
qualified personal who has RF and related rule knowledge. The general user
shall not attempt to install or change the setting.
2. Installation location
The product shall be installed at a location where the radiating antenna can be
kept 20cm from nearby person in normal operation condition to meet
regulatory RF exposure requirement.
3. External antenna
Use only the antennas which have been approved by the applicant. The
non-approved antenna(s) may produce unwanted spurious or excessive RF
transmitting power which may lead to the violation of FCC limit and is
prohibited.
4. Installation procedure
Please refer to user’s manual for the detail.
5. Warning
Please carefully select the installation position and make sure that the final
output power does not exceed the limit set force in relevant rules. The
