www.pervasid.com Copyright © February 2022, PervasID Ltd 1 FR 9380 Reader Installation Guide www.pervasid.com Copyright © February 2022, PervasID Ltd 2 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) / IC Canada Compliance Statement 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. 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in any given installation. If this equipment does cause interference which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the interference may be reduced by: • Increasing the separation between the equipment and the receiver • Reorient or relocating the equipment antenna. Only the recommended antennas listed in Appendix A should be used with this equipment and the output power should be set depending on the cable length in accordance with the PervasID Power tool. (see section on antenna connection) This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment should be installed and operated so that the antennas are kept at least 0.5594 m or more away from a person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles). ETSI Compliance The FR 9380 Reader (the Reader) is a product and has been certified to IEC 62368-1/EN 62368- 1 and EN 301 489-1/EN 301 489-3. Warning: Please read this manual in its entirety before operating the FR 9380 Reader, as personal injury or equipment damage may result from improper use. Under no circumstances should the Reader enclosure be opened. Caution: An appropriate power supply unit (PSU) that meets the FR 9380 Reader PSU Specification must be used to power the Reader. Any Other PSU could be dangerous and failure to ensure this could make the product unsafe. Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. www.pervasid.com Copyright © February 2022, PervasID Ltd 3 Check List The PervasID FR 9380 system is an 8-port UHF DAS RFID Reader (the Reader), capable of feeding eight antennas and allowing tag information to be uploaded over its Ethernet interface to a server for processing, analysis and display.
