Data and power connector details The data and power connector is an 8 way Molex 52745 series (0.5mm pitch, top contact) FFC-FPC connector. A Molex 98266-007x / 21020-07x cable should be used with this connector. Pin Function 1 5V  ±5%  DC  supply.  Average  operating  current  800mA,  peak  operating  current  1.5A. Connect to both pins 2 5V  ±5%  DC  supply.  Average  operating  current  800mA,  peak  operating  current  1.5A. Connect to both pins 3 GPIO2 4 GPIO3 5 Serial data from reader to host. 3V3 logic levels. 6 Serial data from host to reader. 3V3 logic levels. 7 Data and power common. Connect to both pins. 8 Data and power common. Connect to both pins.  1.3.  Antenna connector details The antenna connector is  a Hirose U.FL receptacle.  The antenna characteristics have a significant effect  on  overall  reader  performance.  A  50Ω  antenna  with  return  loss  better  than  10dB  over  the operating  frequency  range  should  be  used.  The  only  antenna  currently  approved  for  use  with  the 1116-01-UHF reader is the 1095FCC circularly polarised patch antenna available from Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd.

Installation The reader should be secured using three M2 pan head screws of a suitable length. The mounting holes are connected to pins 7 and 8 (common). If the reader is to be operated continuously at high ambient temperatures it is recommended that the mounting surface for the reader provides additional heatsinking. 3.  Regulatory information 3.1. Labelling requirements If the module label is not visible when the module is installed in the final product then the final product label must contain the text: “Contains FCC ID: S6J-1116 IC ID: 8948A-1116” 3.2. Information to the user - FCC 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 that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. NOTE:  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 or more of the following measures: -  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -  Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. -  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Information to the user - IC This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause interference, and  2)  this  device  must  accept  any  interference,  including  interference  that  may  cause  undesired operation of the device. 3.4.  RF exposure This RFID reader module is a spread spectrum transmitter operating under 47 CFR §15.247. The low operating power ensures a high likelihood of compliance with the RF exposure standards. In the final product antenna should be located so that the direction of maximum radiation is away from the user. In addition it is recommended that the user manual for the final product incorporating the RFID reader module indicates where the antenna is located.
