1.2. 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.

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.

2. 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.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
3.3. 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.
