Professional Installation Guidelines for the U.S.

5 Professional Installation Guidelines for the U.S.

5.1 Installation Personnel

UHF RFID readers require professional installation!

►You must be a professional installer with RF and related knowledge of regularizations.

►The installation requires trained professionals to access and setup the system.

►The system has to be installed by professional installation personnel only. Other users shall not

attempt to install the device or change the settings.

5.2 External Antennas

►You must follow Part 15 of the FCC rules, specically Part 15.203 pertaining antenna requirements

of an intentional radiator.

►Make sure to use a antenna with a gain of 13 dBi or less.

►Only use antennas which have been approved by the applicant. The use of none-approved anten-

na(s) may produce unwanted spurious emissions or excessive RF transmitting power which may

lead to the violation of the FCC/ISED limit.

5.3 Final Output Power

WARNING

►Carefully select the installation position.

►Make sure that the nal output power does not exceed the limit set in regularizations. The violation

of the rule could lead to serious federal penalty!

If you are not a professional installer, STOP

►Do not proceed any further with the installation.

►Do not install the unit or change the settings.

►Note that the equipotential bonding does not replace lighting protection.

6.2 CE Marking for the Kathrein RFID Antennas with the Type Designa-

tion ETSI

WARNING

Dangertolifeduetoradiationelectromagneticeld!

This antenna is designed ETSI for operation according to EN 302208. In some circumstances, pace-

makers may suer interference if wearers are close to the antenna when the unit is in operation

(reader and antenna).

►When the unit is operated with reader connected, comply with the human exposure regulations in

accordance with EN 50364.

►Ensure a typical clearance of 20 cm between the antenna and the human body. The exact values for

each antenna you can nd in the chapter 11. Characteristics and specic Limits of the Antennas.

►Comply with the operating instructions for RFID antennas.

►In case of doubt, make sure people with pacemakers contact the manufacturer of their pace-

makers or their doctor.

6.3 FCC and ISED Canada Regulatory Information

The operator and the specialist company which carries out the installation are responsible for ensuring

that only certied systems are used in the United States. Use of this system in any other combination

(e.g. several antennas which transmit the same information in the same location) is expressly prohib-

ited. Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. To meet the certication regulations according to

Part 15 of the FCC regulations in the United States:

►Make sure the 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 interfer-

ence that may cause undesired operation.

►Make sure the unit is properly installed, see FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement and ISED RF

Radiation Exposure Statement, which follow on the next pages.

6.3.2 Safety Instructions

NOTICE

Risk of harmful radio communication interference!

Following corresponding tests, it has been ascertained that this unit adheres to the limit values for

class B digital units in accordance with Part 15 of the FCC regulations. These limit values are intended

to provide private user's systems with appropriate protection against harmful radio interference. This

unit generates and uses energy in the radio frequency range and is also able to radiate this energy; if

it is not installed and used in accordance with the regulations, the unit may cause harmful radio com-

munication interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a specic

system. If this unit causes harmful radio or television reception interference, which can be ascertained

by switching the unit on and o, we recommend that the user attempts to rectify this interference via

one or more of the following measures.

►Turn the unit on and o to make sure the radio or television reception interference is caused by the

unit.

►Realign the receive antenna or change its position.

►Increase the distance between the unit and the receiver.

►Plug the unit into a socket in a current circuit other than that to which the receiver is connected.

►Seek advice from the retailer or an experienced radio/television technician.
