The 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 reader supports UHF (ultra high frequency) antennas, which are available separately. The reader supports multiple configurations of UHF antenna ports and transfers data to a remote computer either through a wired 10/100 Ethernet connection.

AGILE2 READER 8200-0222-08, REV. A INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE 2 of 13 Before You Begin Installation Requirements • The 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 Product Configurations and Part Numbers on page 3). • In order to comply with FCC requirements for RF exposure safety, a separation distance of at least 23cm (9in) needs to be maintained between the radiating elements of the antenna and the bodies of nearby persons. • Antennas must be mounted within 7.6m (25ft) 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. • Recommended minimum configuration for a computer running an application that interfaces with the Agile2 Reader: – Pentium® M 1.40GHz processor – 512MB memory – 20MB hard drive – Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows XP operating system – 10/100 Ethernet® port – CD-ROM drive – Internal 56K modem Performance Considerations Reader performance may be affected by external factors including tag variables and environment. Performance tests conducted under typical operating conditions at your site are recommended to help you optimize system performance. 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 Reader performance may be affected by the following: • Metal surfaces such as desks, filing cabinets, bookshelves, and wastebaskets 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 and wireless LANs, can interfere with reader performance. These devices may degrade performance of the reader. The reader may also adversely affect performance of 900MHz devices. • Antennas operating in close proximity may interfere with each other, thus 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 coordinated 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.

Applicant: Tyco Safety Products/Sensormatic Correspondence Reference Number: 14787 731 Confirmation Number: TC409250 Subject: RE: Request for additional information - FCC ID:BVCIDRDR2 Date of Original FCC Email: 11/02/2004 Dear Mr. Perrine, Please find below the responses to the OET request for additional information regarding FCC ID: BVCIDRDR2: 1) Please provide the scenarios where this device will be installed e.g. store entry, ware house exit. What means will be used to maintain the required 23 cm spacing. Response: 1. Dock doors - where transient activity occurs. 2. Conveyor belt systems - These antennas are patch antennas with a ground plane that minimizes rear/back emissions and provides a forward directional field. The antennas are arranged pointing towards the inside of the conveyor. 3. Shelves - the antenna is recessed inside the shelf where the distance form the radiator would be a minimum of 23 cm when installed according to the manual. These are typical applications but not the only applications. Other applications, not yet defined would also be either transitory, no backfield, or include adequate setback as described above. A statement regarding exposure was crafted with the assistance of the FCC for FCC ID: BVCDMS915. As the Agile 2 reader will be installed and used in similar environments we submit that the same statement is applicable. This statement [copied below for your convenience] appears on the front page of the setup / install manuals as a regulatory requirement for installers. A copy of the applicable page of the setup / installation guide is Appendid as Appendix 1. 2) Please provide photos of the authorized antennas and cables for this device.

FCC ID: BVCIDRDR2 IC: 3506A-IDRDR2 4 II. General Information This report is part of the application for Certification of a RFID reader operating in the 902-928 MHz bands under the rules provided for frequency-hopping spread spectrum transmitters found in 47 CFR 15.247. The product covered by this report is the Sensormatic Agile 2 Reader. Test Methodology The Agile 2 is a RFID reader designed to operate in the UHF band 902 MHz to 928 MHz. The reader is divided into three sub-modules (1) Digital board and (2) two UHF radio modules connected to the digital board through a 60 pin bus (figure1). The digital board contains all remote interface, data acquisition, processor/DSP, voltage distribution, and two RF slots. Each UHF module is a full CW radio transceiver with 30 dBm maximum output power . There are currently two versions of the UHF radio module distinguished as a 4-port or a 2-port. The 4-port UHF module combines the receive path and the transmit path onto a single path through the use of a ferrite circulator. This path is then switched to one of four antennas. The 2-port UHF module has separate isolated receive and transmit antenna connections. The receive path may be switched to one of two antennas. The transmit path may be also switched to one of two antennas. The receive and transmit antennas are in a single housing, and are isolated from one another. Other than that, the circuitry is identical for both boards. Each port is f…
