Getting Started 1.1 In the Package RFID Smart Reader Power Cord Power Adapter Fan-out Box (optional) RF Switch (optional) Note: The Fan-out Box and RF Switch work in combination to allow more antenna connections. One RFID Smart Reader can connect to one Fan-out box and four RF switches. 1.2 Introduction The WNC RFID Smart Reader (the Reader) is suitable for a variety of UHF RFID applications. It provides high level RF performance, a user-friendly software development interface and a cost competitive reader solution. Combined with a Newave Shelf Antenna, it can provide 100% readability in zone sizes of 2’x2’x2’ to 10’x10’x10’ with appropriate reader parameters and antenna setup. You can also connect the Reader to a fan-out box and 1~4 RF switches to add additional antennas. A maximum of 16 antennas are allowed for one Reader. For multi-reader applications, such as retail applications, the Reader solution can efficiently compress data size and solve data traffic issues. 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Wistron NeWeb Corporation© 3 Basic application: You can connect to up to four antennas and use a computer to monitor detected parameters. Advanced application: Use the Reader with a Fan-out Box and an RF Switch to connect up to 16 antennas. 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Wistron NeWeb Corporation© 4 1.3 Hardware Overview- RFID Smart Reader Front Panel Rear Panel WAN Connect a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the port to establish a network connection.

Insert screws via the four holes on the left and right side of the Reader. 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Wistron NeWeb Corporation© 7 Installation with Fan-out Box and RF Switch: 1 Getting Started WNC RFID Smart Reader Wistron NeWeb Corporation© 8 1. Use an RF cable to connect an antenna port of the Reader to the RF IN port of the RF Switch, and then connect the antennas to the ANT1~4 ports of the RF Switch. 2. Use a DB9 cable to connect the GPIO port of the Reader and the INPUT port of the Fan-out box. Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable (not crossover type.) The cable must be shorter than 5m. 3. Use a DB9 cable to connect an OUTPUT port of the Fan-out Box to the INPUT port of the RF Switch. Note: Only use a rollover type DB9 cable shorter than 30m. 4. Connect the Reader to a computer. Attach the power supply to the Reader and plug it into a wall outlet. 5. You can also connect the Device1 & 2 ports to receive data from other devices such as sensors. Note: The Reader, Fan-out Box and the RF Switch may be wall-mounted. Insert screws via the four holes on the left and right side …

PREPARED BY : , DATE: Apr. 19, 2012 ( Claire Kuan, Specialist) APPROVED BY : , DATE: Apr. 19, 2012 ( May Chen, Deputy Manager ) Report No.: SA120315E04 Report Format Version 4.0.0. 5 2. RF EXPOSURE LIMIT LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) FREQUENCY RANGE (MHz) ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH (V/m) MAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH (A/m) POWER DENSITY (mW/cm 2 ) AVERAGE TIME (minutes) LIMITS FOR GENERAL POPULATION / UNCONTROLLED EXPOSURE 300-1500 ... ... F/1500 30 1500-100,000 ... ... 1.0 30 F = Frequency in MHz 3. MPE CALCULATION FORMULA Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale pi = 3.1416 r = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm 4. CLASSIFICATION The antenna of this product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. So, this device is classified as Mobile Device. 5.Antenna Gain The antenna provided to the EUT, please refer to the following table: Brand Model Antenna Type Gain (dBi) Cable Loss(dB) Net Gain (dBi) Antenna Connector Cable Length WNC XRAB-N1 Shelf Antenna 5 1 4 RTNC 150cm Report No.: SA120315E04 Report Format Version 4.0.0. 6 6.CALCULATION RESULT OF MAXIMUM CONDUCTED POWER FREQUENCY BAND (MHz) MAX POWER (mW) ANTENNA GAIN (dBi) DISTANCE (cm) POWER DENSITY (mW/ cm 2 ) LIMIT (mW/cm 2 ) 902.75 ~ 927.25 691.831 4 20 0.346 0.6 Note: Limit of Power Density = F/1500 --- END --- Directional gain = gain of antenna element + 10 log (# of TX antenna elements) Effective Legacy Gain (dBi)=6.5 CONCLUSION: Both of the WLAN and Bluetooth can transmit simultaneously, the formula of calculated the MPE is: CPD 1 / LPD 1 + CPD 2 / LPD 2 + ......etc. < 1 CPD = Calculation power density LPD = Limit of power density Therefore, the worst-case situation is 0.085 / 1 + 0.006 / 1 = 0.091, which is less than “1”. This confirmed that the device comply with FCC 1.1310 MPE limit.
