3. Deterioration of insulation or poor contact of connectors due to humidity and dust.
4. Poor connector contact and element corrosion due to corrosive gas.
5. Corrosion due to chemicals and element deterioration.

RF exposure considerations
To comply with FCC and ISED rules, the following sentences must be included in the user manual of the final product.

1. Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to host computers and/or peripherals to meet the FCC emission limits.
2. This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
3. FCC CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC STATEMENT

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of ISED 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, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Label and compliance information: Display the following on the final product.
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: UOE-MR1130MB and IC: 8250A-MR1130MB.

Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant (FCC Part 15 Subpart C), and the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

EMI Considerations
We recommend using “best practice” RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to host components or properties.
The host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable FCC rules for the transmitters operating individually and simultaneously. This includes compliance for the summation of all emissions from all outputs occupying the same or overlapping frequency ranges, as defined by the applicable rules.

RFID UNIT2 Interface Specification

Serial interface specification

Overview of reader/writer operating modes
ISO15693 compliant RF tag always returns a response to the reader/writer after receiving a command from the reader/writer.

Command mode
This mode executes processing according to commands from the host device. Use this mode when executing ISO15693 related commands.

This mode executes processing according to commands sent from the host device. Used to perform the following operations.

• When executing reader/writer control commands
• When executing the reader/writer setting command
• When executing RF tag communication command

Reader/writer state transition
The state transition of a reader/writer whose RF transmission signal setting is set to “ON at startup” is as shown in the figure below.

After the reader/writer is powered on, it starts up in the “ready state: RF transmission signal ON” state. The transition between RF transmission signal ON/OFF is performed using the RF transmission signal control command.
(You can also transition to the RF transmission signal ON state by executing the RF transmission signal ON command or the RF tag communication command.)
By using the power state control command, the reader/writer transitions to the power down state.

RF transmit signal settings(ON at startup)
This is a setting to start outputting the RF transmission signal when the reader/writer is powered on.

S6700 compatibility mode
By setting RFID NUIT2 to S6700 compatibility mode, it can operate in the same way as the previous model RFID UNIT.

Verify processing

RFID UNIT2 performs verification processing when writing data to the RF tag and locking it.
Performing read processing after writing data,a and performing lock processing, and confirming that the processing is complete.

• Commands targeted for verification processing are performed only on RF tags for which option_flag = 0 when performing data writing and lock processing.
  Verification processing is performed using the following command.
  1. Write Single Block
  2. Lock Block
  3. Write AFI
  4. Write DSFID
  5. Write Bytes
  6. Simple Write
• NACK response command
  RFID UNIT2 is designed to always receive a NACK response when LockAFI or LockDSFID is executed on an RF tag with option_flag = 0.

Retry processing
When using S6700 compatibility mode, it operates with the same specifications as the previous model RFID UNIT.

About ISO15693ThroughCmd
ISO15693Throughcmd cannot be used in S6700 compatibility mode.

Communication format
The communication formats for commands sent from the host device to the reader/writer and responses returned from the reader/writer are as follows.

Communication format details

Data array

• Data is sent LSB first (lower byte first).
• When reading RF tag data, the lower byte of the lower block is set first.
• When writing RF tag data, set the lower byte of the lower block first.

Command response

• The reader/writer returns responses to commands from the host device.
• When sending commands consecutively, be sure to send the next command after receiving the response of the previous command.

Note
that some commands do not return a response.

RFID UNIT2 Setup Procedure
The following shows the setup procedure for RFID UNIT2.

1. Confirm that the model and the type of RFID UNIT2 are correct. To setup “RFID UNIT2”, attach the ferrite core 20cm from the Antenna with 3 turns.
2. Attach the mold and the packing to the reader’s antenna. Then, fix the reader’s antenna to the holding plate.
3. Fix the RFID UNIT2 to c702 using M4 screws.
4. Hold power line and serial line with clamps. Then, connect P13 connector to J13 connector of 232DIST2 circuit board on c702.
5. Hold the reader’s antenna cable with clamps. Then, fix the reader’s antenna assembly to c702 (1ch) using M3 screws.
6. Similar to the step 5 above, fix the reader’s antenna assembly to c702 (2ch and 3ch) using M3 screws.
7. Attach all covers to c702.
