Output signals are driven by 2N3904 NPN transistors (low level) with a 100 kohm pull-up to +5 volts through a silicon diode, giving about a 4.3 volt high level. An output can be pulled high from an external source as high as 12 volts. This will however tend to pull the other out- puts higher (through two 100k resistors). The low level will be about0.1voltuptoabout30mA.Theoutputlowvoltagewill climb higher as the sink current increases. There is no protection on this. You need to ensure that their load won’t require the reader to sink more than 50 mA. Input signals should be 0 to +1.5 volt for a low input and +3.5 to +5 volts for a high input. Each input has a 1.1 kohm resistor in series with clamping diodes, but only about 1μAisusedun- til the input exceeds the 0 to +5 volt input range. There is also a weak (100 kohm) pull-up to +5 volt on each input. 4IM5 Reader Module Installation and Quick Start Guide Installing the IM5 Reader Module The IM5 Reader Module requires 8-10 volts DC at 2 amps. The IF4 Serial Reader is powered through a 2-pin bulkhead bar- rel connector (Switchcraft p/n: 712A). The Reader Module supplies 9-volt 2.4 amps to this connector. Mating plugs for this connector are Switchcraft part numbers 760, 760K or 761K. A cable within the PSR connects the bulk- head barrel connector, via an endplate switch, to the 2-pin Mo- lex connector on the IM5 Reader Module. IM5 Reader module Cable connector Auxiliary I/O Connector RS-232 port The IM5 Reader Module has holes along the sides that can be used for mounting. For best results, attach heat sink to case via the screwholes in the heat sink. Screw holes IM5 Reader module 5 IM5 Reader Module Installat ion and Quick Start Guide Connecting and Getting Started FCC and Industry Canada regulations limit exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. To comply with these regulations, operators of this device must maintain a distance of at least 23 cm. (9.1 inches) from the cover on the antenna assembly (The cover on the antenna is the dome shaped surface). While the device is on, the operator’s body and parts of the body such as eyes, hands, or head, must be 23 cm. (9.1 inches) or farther from the cover of the antenna assembly. FCC and Industry Canada regulations also require that the antenna assembly of this device be installed in accordance with the installation procedures to allow the operator to comply with the limit. Use of antennas andaccessories not authorized may void the compliance of this product and may result in RF exposures beyond the limits established for this equipment. 6IM5 Reader Module Installation and Quick Start Guide Antenna Installation 1Connect the antenna cable to a port. The four antenna con- nectors have lock washers and nuts to allow for panel mount- ing. 2Connect a reverse SMA terminator (Intermec p/n 345-004-001) to any port that does not have an antenna at- tached. Each port must have either an antenna or a terminator connected. Do not apply power to the Reader unless an antenna cable or terminator is installed on each antenna port.

The user(s) of this product are cautioned to use accessories and peripherals approved by Intermec Technologies Corporation. The use of accessories other than those recommended, or changes to this product that are not approved by Intermec Technologies Corporation, may void the compliance of this product and may result in the loss of the users authority to operate the equipment. 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. FCC Digital Emissions Compliance 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 radio or television receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the computer equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the radio or television receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio television technician for help. Canadian Digital Apparatus Compliance This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada. WARNING: Per the FCC and Canada radio frequency (RF) exposure requirements, (1) Antennas must be supplied and installed as recommended by Intermec Technologies Corporation to insure compliance to RF exposure requirements. The antennas approved for use are Intermec part numbers 805-619-001 and 805-628-001. Correct antenna mounting is fully described within the Intermec IM5 Users Guide. (2) When installing and using Intermec approved remote antennas associated the RFID tag reader, a 23-cm (9.1-inch) passing distance must be maintained from any body part of the user or nearby persons and the remote antenna. The antenna must not be touched during transmitter operation. (3) Cables attached to the remote antennas must have a minimum length as provided from Intermec to insure the proper losses to control RF exposure. (4) RF safety requirements mandate this device cannot be co-located with other transmitters. This radio is approved as a “module.” Therefore, the unit can be placed within any enclosure for use. As an approved module, the following restrictions apply: 1. The module must use the Intermec-approved antennas. 2. The unit must display “Contains TX FCC ID: EHA-xxxxxxx” with xxxxxx designating the FCC ID of the IM5 module, per the labeling requirements of Parts 2 and 15 of the FCC rules. 3. The power supply used with the module must be the Intermec unit tested with the module or the integrator must verify that their supply meets the FCC class B emissions limits when used with this module. 4. Integrators are responsible for insuring that the unintentional emissions of the resulting system meets the requirements of Par t 15 of the FCC rules. If any system integrator wishes to make changes, use their own antennas, or change the FCC ID, they will have to follow Parts 2 and 15 of the FCC rules for changes to a radio with module approval. Any changes to Intermec approved equipment will require proper notification to the FCC. 578-100-102 Revision B Page 2 of 3 *578-100-102B* *578-100-102B* DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY (According to ISO/IEC Guide 22 and EN 45014) PAGE ONE OF ONE THE PRODUCT HEREWITH COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF : THE LOW-VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE 73/23/EEC.
