***For saving power, the reader will turn OFF itself after 10 minutes if no pressed keys or no commands sent via virtual RS232 port. After the reader turn ON, it will go to the ISO-6B READ ID(H) mode 3.2 Reading IDs The PR100 RFID reader supports 2 standard types of the RFID transponders/tags, ISO18000/6B and ISO18000/6C (EPC Class1 Gen2). User can change reading tag type by pressing the TAG TYPE button. Picture 3.2.1 the position of the TAG TYPE button Once, user press on the TAG TYPE button, the reading mode will change by the sequence below. ISO-6B READ ID(H) -> EPC-G2 READ ID(H) Note: *(H) means the reader will show IDs in Heximal number (0 F) The counter number will increase according to the number of read tags. Note: the maximum tag number that the reader can count is 50 unique tags. If user wants to clear the tag counter and the data on the display, just press the CLEAR button.

Type of the tag(ISO18000/6B or ISO18000/6C) The action mode(READ or WRITE or FIDE) The read field of data(ID, DATA, TID, RESERV) ID of the tag If user is in READ DATA or WRITE DATA mode, this field will identify which address of the tag is the start address for reading/writing. If user is in READ DATA or WRITE DATA mode, this field will identify how long of the Page 6 Ref. - (PR100 readers) Rev. 1_01 PR100 User manual Released 2008-03-13 data that user read/write from the start address to the end of data. Note: the maximum is 32bytes If user is in READ DATA or WRITE DATA mode, this field will identify the data in the tag. Data 3.3 Writing data/ID The PR100 RFID allows user to write data/ID into RFID tags. However, user needs to know first which RFID tag type that they are using (ISO18000/6B or ISO18000/6C). For writing data into tags ISO18000/6B type, user has to go to ISO-6B WRITE DATA(H) or ISO-6B WRITE DATA(A)* by pressing the TAG TYPE button to select ISO-6B type and then press the OPERATION button. Note: *(A) means the reader will show data in ASCII characters (0-9, A Z). Picture 3.3.1 the position of the OPERATION button Once user presses the OPERATION button, the operation will change to sequence below:
ISO-6B READ ID(H) -> ISO-6B WRITE DATA(H) -> ISO-6B READ DATA(H) AFG ASIA ENGINEERING CO.LTD. 65/12 M.10 T.Tonpao A.Sankumpang Chiangmai, Thailand 50130 Tel: +66 53 390 909 Fax: +66 53 390 910 Page 7 Ref. - (PR100 readers) Rev. 1_01 PR100 User manual Released 2008-03-13 Picture 3.3.2 ISO-6B WRITE DATA(H) mode User can type in 1 32 bytes data from the keyboard on the PR100 RFID reader. Trip: if user wants to type in A,B,C in heximal, just repeat pressing the 2 button. If user wants to type in D,E,F in heximal, just repeat pressing the 3 button. Note: user must enter the heximal data correctly. For example, the reader does not allow writing the heximal data which has wrong data length such as 0102030 (3 and half bytes), the reader will show error WRONG LENGTH on the display when user attempts to write it. When user finishes typing in the data, point the reader to an ISO18000/6B tag ,press and hold the Trigger button to write the data into the tag until the display shows PASS. When it finishes writing the display will show PASSED and the buzzer will beep. Picture 3.3.3 writing success If user wants to write data in ASCII mode, just press the DISPLAY button.

FCC Statement 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 of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and 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. To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
(Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). 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 received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
(if mobile device (generally 20 cm distance) is applicable, MPE calculation) This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
(if portable device is applicable (SAR)) This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. SAR has been evaluated with a laptop as host and the maximum SAR value reported is 0.76 W/kg. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
(also important for LAN is the following statement; may be included in manual or separate letter)) This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on 2.4 GHz channel 1-11.

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 If the antenna is detachable the following sentences according to RSS-210 clause 5.5/5.11 need to be included:
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of .. dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication. For LAN type equipment, the following text needs also to be present in the user manual:
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
(Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing). AFG ASIA ENGINEERING CO.LTD. 65/12 M.10 T.Tonpao A.Sankumpang Chiangmai, Thailand 50130 Tel: +66 53 390 909 Fax: +66 53 390 910 Page 14
