2.1.4 RF communication performance
• 25 mm or more (No dead zones of more than 1 mm wide within the above range)

In a free space (temperature: 25ºC, humidity: 50%RH) that is potentially unaffected by nearby radio waves
and magnetic sources, a single RC-S888 card (operating at its center frequency) is polled by a standard
module. The card is placed so that its center aligns with the center of the module’s antenna along a vertical
axis perpendicular to the antenna surface, with its longitudinal edges maintained in parallel to those of the
antenna.
NOTE
The communication performance may be different with the kind of the card, making it necessary
to verify its performance.

2.8 RF performance and the use of magnetic sheet
•
RF (communication) performance is closely related to the effectiveness of the magnetic and metal sheets
used below and around the antenna of the module.
•
RF performance varies considerably, depending not only on the magnetic permeability (μ’, μ”),
dimensions and thickness of the magnetic sheet but also on the dimensions and material of the metal
sheet used. There is also a possibility that it is affected by metal in the installation environment.
•
The module is designed to be used with the specified magnetic and metal sheets attached in advance to
control the magnetic field generated by the antenna, as well as to minimize the possible effects from the
installation environment.
This contributes a great deal to the reduction of the time required for weighing the effects of the installation
environment and evaluating the module’s RF performance.

5 Precautions
5.1 Handling precautions
The module must be handled with special care, keeping the following precautions in mind.
•
The module is an inductive-type read/write communication device that is type-certified in compliance with
the Radio Law of Japan. The operating frequency is 13.56 MHz. Disassembly or modification of the
module, removal of the type number or similar acts are subject to penalties according to applicable laws.
•
Be sure to use a stable power supply so that the module can be protected from the effect of noise and
excessive voltage peaks, such as lightning, transmitted through the power supply connector.
•
Do not cause any chemical or physical damage to the module.
•
Do not subject the module surface to contaminated air or materials.
•
Tightly ground not only module after installation but all jigs, machines, workbenches and workers’ bodies
to prevent static electricity from affecting the module.
•
For safety’s sake, be sure to wear gloves when handling the module, although its surfaces are carefully
finished.
•
Protect the module from interference from other wireless machines.
•
Do not install the module in an environment where a strong electromagnetic field may exert deleterious
effects on communication performance. Take special note of the installation location so that interference
between the module and other equipment can be adequately controlled.
•
Communication performance may be affected by the harmonics of the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency
generated on the signal line.
•
Check in advance the compatibility between the module and your system. The module cannot handle part
of the processing sequences*1 provided by mobile phones and other portable devices incorporating
mobile FeliCa IC chips.
•
The interface cable (FFC / FPC) is not supplied, making it necessary to prepare the one appropriate for
your system. When selecting the cable, make sure to connect a cable in the right direction because the
connector has a double terminal.
*1
Among the processing sequences unique to mobile FeliCa compatible portable devices, the module cannot handle the
sequence which allows wireless communication from the Reader/Writer after the mobile FeliCa IC chip was activated by
the portable device via a wired interface. For more information, refer to the “Mobile FeliCa Technical Information”
(Japanese only) that explains Reader/Writer operation in mobile applications.

5.2 Notes on external appearance
Since the module is designed for embedded applications, please realize that flaws on the order described
below may occur.
•
Scratch or stain on the product surface, which has no effect on performance.
•
Change in the board color.

Appendix A About installation
A.1 Installation requirements for RC-S632/U
The following describes the points to remember when installing the modules.
1. Do not use any metal or carbon compound as the material for the cabinet. The cabinet surface must be at
least 1.5mm apart from the board surface.
2. Do not place any metal in the forbidden area (dot-meshed area in Figure A-1) secured around the module.
Particularly, communication performance undoubtedly deteriorates if a plate-like metal is put near the
module.
3. In order not to induce eddy current, make a cut in the metal plate surrounding the above forbidden zone.
4. If no performance improvement is achieved through the steps described above, add magnetic sheets
(more than 70mm×60mm), as shown in Figure A-2, to the metal surface that faces the card and keep
away the module from a metal plate at least 0.5mm (d > 0.5).

A.2 Reduction of the impact of metal
Deviation from the resonance point caused by bringing the card closer to the metal plate may result in a
change in the card’s original characteristics. The effect of metal plate could be reduced by adding magnetic
sheets to the positions illustrated above.
