It is a high frequency identification system using the FM-transmission. The basic item is a transponder working as a forgery-proof electronic identity disc. The reader of the system sends an energy impulse via the antenna. The capacitor of the passive, battery-less transponder is charged by this impulse. After that, the transponder returns a signal with the stored data. The total reading cycle takes less than 100 ms. As a sight-connection between transponder and reader is not absolutely necessary, the transponder can also be identified through non-metallic material. The HERMOS transponder reading unit is a LON-node. LON is a control network for distributed systems and has been developed by the US company Echelon. The LONWORKS-technology corresponds to the SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment Materials International)-Standard (E54.6). The data received by the transponder reader are transmitted to equipment, terminalserver or host systems by the LON-network. Hermos Technical Reports Release 2.1Page 4 of 22 2 Important Notes: 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. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 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 equip-ment 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. —Increase the separation between the equip-ment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

In this case, please contact the manufacturer. Green: The control-LED glows shortly green, if the device tries to read or write. SERVICE-button The SERVICE-button can be used to install the reader into the network. Terminal screw for antenna shielding The shield of the antenna has to be sticked on the terminal screw. Control-module The control-module is the control unit of the device. On the module, there is the controller (Neuron-chip), a plug-in program memory (FlashEEPROM) and the FTT10-A transceiver for the communication on the LON-bus. HF-module The HF-module is the analog part of the device. It triggers the antenna and transmits the received data to the control-module.

The bandwidth of the EMI-receiver was set to 200 Hz below 150 kHz and to 10 kHz above 150 kHz. According to section §15.209 (d) final measurements were performed with the detector set to CISPR quasi-peak except for the frequency bands 9 - 90 kHz and 110 - 490 kHz where average detector is employed. The test setup was made in accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992. Preliminary scans were taken in a shielded room with a test-distance of 3 meters and detector-function of EMI-receiver set to peak. To search for the maximum emission EUT was placed in three orthogonal planes and rotated all around as well as the vertically polarized loop antenna on its vertical axis by 360°. Cables and equipment were placed and moved within the range of positions likely to find their maximum emissions. As a result of these preparations worst case configuration was recorded to determine the radiated EMI-profile of the EUT. Final test was performed using an open-area test-site with a test-distance of 30 meters. In cases the regulation requires testing at 300 meters distance the res…
