BVCIDR3000RF ID Reader

RFID READER MODEL IDR-3000 INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE (8200-0222-02, REV. 1/A) 1 of 9 RFID Reader Model IDR-3000 Installation and Service Guide The Model IDR-3000 RFID Reader uses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to read data stored on RFID tags and labels. The RFID Reader operates as an SQL (structured query language) server, providing tag data in response to requests from another application. A separate software application may be used to direct its operation and provide a user interface. The RFID Reader supports UHF (ultra high frequency) and HF (high frequency) antennas which are available separately. The reader provides two UHF and two HF antenna ports and transfers data to a computer through an Ethernet port.

Before You Begin Installation Requirements • The RFID reader is shipped with a certified limited power source with a cable length of 1.8m (6ft). • Use only authorized antennas and cables to maintain FCC approval (see Authorized Antennas on page 2). • In order to comply with FCC requirements for RF exposure safety, a separation distance of at least 22cm (8.7in.) needs to be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and the bodies of nearby persons. • Antennas must be mounted within 3.6m (12ft) cable distance of the reader. • Provide strain relief for all reader connections. • A shielded Ethernet cable must be used to communicate with other devices. • Multiple readers and antennas can be used in combination to enhance detection at specific locations provided the software application is able to synchronize antenna operation. Performance Considerations RFID reader performance may be affected by external factors including: • Tag variables • Environment Performance tests conducted under typical operating conditions at your site are recommended to help you optimize system performance. RFID READER MODEL IDR-3000 INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE (8200-0222-02, REV. 1/A) 2 of 9 Tag Variables There are several variables associated with tags that can affect reader performance: • Application surface — Some materials interfere with tag performance including metal and moisture. Tags applied to items made from or containing these materials may not perform as expected. • Tag orientation — Reader performance is affected by the orientation of the tag in the antenna field. • Tag model — many tag models are available. Each model has its own performance characteristics. Environment RFID Reader performance may be affected by the following: • Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, book shelves, and waste baskets may enhance or degrade reader performance. Mount antennas as far as possible from metal surfaces that are adversely affecting system performance. • Devices that operate at 900MHz such as cordless phones or wireless LANs can interfere with reader performance. These devices may degrade performance of the reader. The reader may also adversely affect performance of the 900MHz device. • Antennas operating in close proximity may interfere with one another, degrading reader performance. Interference from other antennas may be eliminated or reduced by using either one or both of the following strategies: − Affected antennas may be synchronized by a separate user application using a time- multiplexing strategy. − Antenna power can be reduced by reconfiguring the RF Transmit Power setting for the reader. Authorized Antennas IDANTM1000-915L IDANTM1000-915L is a linear polarized antenna that reads data from 915MHz tags. It has a read range of up to 3.6m (12ft) from the antenna.

February 3, 2003 Curtis-Straus LLC 527 Great Road Littleton, MA 01460 USA Re: Request for withholding from public disclosure proprietary information submitted pursuant to an application for certification for a low power transmitter. FCC ID: BVCIDR3000 Dear Sir or Madam: Sensormatic Electronics Corporation requests certain materials submitted with this application for certification of device FCC ID: BVCIDR3000 be withheld from public disclosure. This request is made under the provision of 47 CFR 0.457 (d) and 5 USC 552(b)(4) Freedom of Information Act, Trade Secrets. The items for which confidentiality is requested include the Operational Description, Block Diagram, Schematic Diagrams and any listing of components such as a Bill of Material. This information contains proprietary information (trade secrets) regarding the circuit operation and capabilities (specific values of components, circuit design details and system architecture) that are the result of our extensive investment in research and development. Without the disclosed information, competitive organizations would take considerable more time to assess and develop a workable competitive product. As a result, we believe that disclosure of these company- guarded materials would compromise our leading position in this market. We therefore formally request that the materials identified “Confidential” be kept strictly confidential and not made available for inspections by any other party, except on a need to know basis for the sole purpose of the certification process. Sincerely, Donald J. Umbdenstock Sr. Principal Engineer, Compliance Engineering

From: "Curtis-Straus Certification Dept." <[email protected]> To: "Mike Buchholz" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 1:37 PM Sub ject: Sensormatic FCC ID: BVCIDR3000 TCB findings Page 1 of 1 4/1/2003 Hi Mike, Our reviewers have identified the following issues: 1. The two test reports supplied did not include issue dates. 2. Please provide a manufacturers datasheets for the shelf antenna and ICode 9910 antenna. 3. The 15.247 test report states the circularly polarized patch antenna has a gain of 6dBi however the datasheet states 7.5dBi and circuit description states 7dBi. Please explain the differences. 4. Please supply internal photos with a higher resolution. 5. Radiated emission measurements were made with the device configured with a shielded Ethernet cable however the manual does not state that the use of a shielded cable is required. 6. Please provide an argument how this device complies with the requirements of 15.15(c). It is not permitted for a device to intentionally radiate RF energy in the absence of communications. Does this device continually radiate or does some other event trigger the transmitter so it can read the tag ID? 7. Please remove any diagnostic data from the test reports. 8. For future applications please provide an EIRP measurement using the highest gain antenna of each type, to demonstrate compliance with the 15.247 (b)(4) de facto 36dBm limit for a frequency hopping or digital modulated transmitter. 9. Please provide data tables for the bandedge measurements or supply graphs with the limits. Best regards Barry C. Quinlan Certification Manager Curtis-Straus TCB

The product covered by this report is RF ID Reader. The product also contains a transmitter covered by 47 CFR 15.247 of the FCC rules provided for operation of frequency hopping systems in the frequency range of 902 MHz – 928 MHz. FHSS transmitter section of the product is covered under a separate report. Product uses four antennas for transmissions, however only one antenna is activated at any given moment in time as described in the technical description exhibit of the report. Test Methodology All testing was performed according to the procedures specified in ANSI C63.4 (2000). Frequency range investigated: 13MHz – 1000MHz Measurement Distance: Frequency (MHz) Distance (m) Comments 13 MHz – 1000 MHz 3 Radiated The EUT was maximized around three orthogonal axes. EUT antennas were maximized within their range of motion. Magnetic loop antenna at 3m away from the EUT was used for measuring E-field below 30MHz. The readings obtained from the loop antenna were adjusted to account for the distance factor of 30m to 3m. The distance factor was calculated as: () 30 3 4040LogdB= All readings are peak unless otherwise noted.
