ABR105 ISO Reader Module The Agrident ISO11784/11785 module is a low frequency OEM RFID reader module working on 134.2 KHz. It has been designed for the integration into mobile devices like PDAs. The ABR105 is not intended to be used as a stationary reader; stationary means: power supply via an AC/DC converter connected to the mains and the interface for communication connected to a desktop PC. Agrident provides an Evaluation Board in order to make the development of an own software interface easier for the customer. In case of using the ABR105 with the Evaluation Kit, the reader board is powered by voltage regulators which are supplied with 8 to 12V from a DC-source. The reader can be connected to a desktop PC using either the RS232 or the USB connector on the Evaluation Board. However, this setup is different from the use of the reader board in the final application and has the purpose to evaluate the ABR105 only. Power Supply options:
1) 2.5V 4.2V DC (e.g. Lithium battery) 2) 5V from voltage regulator (linear, stabilized, low ripple voltage) Interface options:
1) TTL interface (Rx, Tx, Gnd) 2) USB interface (for applications where the mobile device has an USB port) 1 ISO-reader module, top-view ISO-reader module, bottom-view Name

6 FCC and IC digital device limitations The FCC approval is only valid with the tested antenna ANT002. If other antennas should be used, the complete FCC Part 15 B test procedure has to be repeated!
Any additional antenna may be used with this device, provided that the new antenna is from same type and has equal or lesser gain than the certified antenna(s). The usage of any new antenna type or higher gain antenna require either a Class II Permissive Change (add new antennas) by the Grantee (Agrident) or a complete new authorization under a new FCC ID by the responsible party for compliance. Important Note:
This module is restricted to OEM integration due to the fact that this RF Module is not equipped with an own shielding. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the compliance to the FCC rules of the final end-product, which integrates this module. Labeling of end product:
The final end-product must be labeled clearly visible with the following "Contains TX FCC ID: QG2ABR105" and "Contains TX IC: 6252A-ABR105"
If the size of the end-product is larger than 8 x 10 cm, the following FCC Part 15.19 statement shall be also placed on the device:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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. L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorise seulement aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur du dispositif doit tre prt accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique reu, mme si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif. If the size of the end product is too small (smaller than 8 x 10 cm) or it is not practicable to place this statement on the end-product; this statement shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or alternatively shall be placed on the container in which the device is sold. 7 User Manual of the end-product:
The end user has to be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate this equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. FCC 15.105 Information to the user
(a) For a Class A digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual:
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Canadian Radio Emissions Requirement This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numrique de la classe A est conforme la norme NMB-003 du Canada. 8 CE MARKING Hereby, Agrident BV declares that this equipment, if used according to the instructions, is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the RTTE Directive 1999/5/EC.
