FCC ID: WP5TWN4F10 RFID Reader

Transponder Reader TWN4 Palon Compact Quick Start Guide Rev. 6.0 Elatec GmbH 1. Introduction The transponder reader TWN4 Palon Compact is a device for reading and writing RFID transponders. There are different versions of TWN4 devices available, which cover a large range of transponder types both in the frequency range of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. 2. Getting Started 2.1 Cable Connection In order to start operating a TWN4 Palon Compact transponder reader, it simply has to be connected to a host. 2.2 Power Up Once a TWN4 Palon Compact reader is connected to the host, it detects the type of communications cable (USB or RS232), with which it is connected to the host. Additionally, the RS232 is sending a version string via RS232 to the host. Page 2 of 12 2.3 Enumeration (USB Only) Elatec GmbH This is only applicable for the USB version: Once the device has been powered up, it is waiting for completion of the enumeration by the USB host. As long as the device is not enumerated, it is entering a minimum power consumption mode, where both LEDs are turned off. 2.4 Initialization After powering up and enumeration (in USB mode), the device is turning on the built-in transponder reader logic. The green LED is turned on permanently. Some transponder reader modules need some kind of initialization, which is performed in this step. After successful initialization, the device sounds a short sequence, which consists of a lower tone followed by a higher tone. 2.5 Normal Operation As soon as the device has completed the initialization, it is entering normal operation. During normal operation the device is searching for a transponder continuously. Page 3 of 12 Elatec GmbH 2.6 Detection of a Transponder If a transponder is detected by the reader, following actions are performed Send the ID to the host. By default, the USB device sends by emulating keystrokes of a keyboard. A RS232 device sends the ASCII code of an ID. Sound a beep Turn off the green LED Blink the red LED for two seconds Turn on the green LED Within the two seconds timeout, where the red LED is blinking, the transponder, which just has been recognized will not be accepted again. This prevents the reader from sending identical IDs more than one time to the host. If during the two seconds timeout of the red LED a different transponder is detected, the complete sequence restarts immediately. 2.7 Suspend Mode (USB Only) The USB version of the transponder reader supports the USB suspend mode. If the USB host is signaling suspend via the USB bus, the transponder reader is turning off most of its power consuming peripherals. During this operation mode, no detection of transponders is possible and all LEDs are turned off. Once the host is resuming to normal operation mode, this is also signaled via the USB bus. Therefore, the transponder reader will resume to normal operation, too. Page 4 of 12 3. List of Antennas Elatec GmbH 125 kHz antenna 13.56 MHz antenna Page 5 of 12 Elatec GmbH 4.

The information may be provided electronically as permitted in 2.935. Page 8 of 12 Elatec GmbH NOTE: The Commission does not have a required SDoC format. This is an example only and is provided to illustrate the type of information that may be supplied with the product at the time of marketing or importation for meeting the FCC SDoC requirement. For class B devices:

FCC 15.105 (b):

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.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. to which the Receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Page 9 of 12 Elatec GmbH For class A devices:

FCC 15.105 (b):

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. CANADA:

This device complies with Industry Canadas license-exempt RSSs. 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. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR dIndustrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes:

1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;

2) lutilisateur de lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. Special accessories:

Where special accessories such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device. Simultaneous transmission:

When the host product supports simultaneous-transmission operations the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required Page 10 of 12 Elatec GmbH

(e. g. the RF module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required please contact the person at ELATEC GmbH responsible for certification of the RF module. NCC Warning Statement

We, Elatec GmbH, hereby request a modular / limited modular approval. In CFR47 15.212 Modular Transmitters and KDB 996369 D01 Module Equip Auth Guide there are following eight numbered requirements defined:

1. The radio elements must have the radio frequency circuitry shielded. Physical components and tuning capacitor(s) may be located external to the shield, but must be on the module assembly. 125 kHz(LF):

13.56 MHz (HF):

The transmitter is shielded under a common shield for LF and HF. The transmitter is shielded under a common shield for LF and HF. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. 125 kHz (LF):

13.56 MHz (HF):

The digital transmission signal is decoupled by a buffer from the antenna output signal. The RF signal is generated in a integrated circuit (RF frontend), which is controlled digitally and contains buffers to decouple antenna signal from digitally control signals. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation on the module. All transmitter circuitry is supplied by a linear voltage regulator (3.3V), which is located on the module.
