The OEM-400v1.2 operates under the control of a host (in this case the SATO CL408/412 printer and is designed to be integrated within the SATO printer. Limited Modular Approval (LMA) is requested to facilitate the integration of the OEM-400v1.2 and reduce the need for repeated testing. In accordance with Public Notice DA 00-1407 (June 2000) the following issues are addressed: Contents 1RF Shielding...................................................................................................................................... 3 2Data inputs......................................................................................................................................... 3 3Power Supply regulation................................................................................................................... 3 4Antenna.............................................................................................................................................. 3 5Labelling............................................................................................................................................ 3 6Specific operating requirements........................................................................................................ 4 7RF exposure requirements................................................................................................................. 4 History Version 0.1 - document creation 242819 Limited Modular Approval Application Page 3 of 4 Loughborough Technology Centre Epinal Way Loughborough Leicestershire LE11 3GE Tel: +44 1509 213141 Fax: +44 1509 213191 Email: [email protected] 1 RF Shielding This application relates to the specific incorparation of the OEM-400v1.2 into the SATO CL408/412 printer as such all tests were performing using this printer without additional screening. 2 Data inputs The OEM-400v1.2 is command driven. No RF is generated without the receipt of a valid command. Commands are received on a serial TTL level port at baud rates between 9600 baud and 57600 baud. Since the data input is digital it is not possible to cause overmodulation. Similarly an excessive data rate will prevent the command from being decoded and acted upon. 3 Power Supply regulation The OEM-400v1.2 receives its regulated power supply from the SATO printer .The installation instructions in the User Manual specify that the power supply must be regulated to 5V±5% to retain LMA; this being the range over which the module is specified and was tested. 4 Antenna All testing was performed using the custom antenna mounted in its final position within the printer. This antenna is connected to the OEM-400v1.2 via a non standard connector to avoid the possibility of a different antenna being connected. The installation instructions in the User Manual specify that the custom antenna must be used to retain LMA.. 5 Labelling The OEM400v1.2 is labelled on the bottom side of the using a self adhesive label as shown in Figure 1. 242819 Limited Modular Approval Application Page 4 of 4 Loughborough Technology Centre Epinal Way Loughborough Leicestershire LE11 3GE Tel: +44 1509 213141 Fax: +44 1509 213191 Email: [email protected] Figure 1: Design of OEM400V1.2 label (not to scale) Since this will not be visible when the OEM400V1.2 is installed in the final product the installation instructions in the User Manual specify that the final product should display a label including the text “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: PR5OEM400V12”. 6 Specific operating requirements There are no operating requirements for Section 15.225 that can be modified by the user. 7 RF exposure requirements There are no RF exposure implications with operating the OEM 400 V1.2

The unit is command driven from a host device (in this case the Sato CL408/412 printer) via a serial TTL bi-directional interface. The module is powered by an external regulated 5V power source supplied by the host device. With reference to the block diagram of the reader module. The main crystal oscillator for the module runs at 27.12MHz, this frequency is fed directly to the micro controller as its master clock input. This frequency is then divided by 2 to produce a 13.56MHz signal to drive the RF side of the reader. As stated above the reader is command driven and will not produce any RF power until a command is received from the host device. Upon receipt of a command the transmitter is powered up via the TX on signal from the micro controller, this enables the PA driver stage, which drives the power amplifier (PA) to produce RF power at 13.56MHz. Single level ASK modulation is applied to the PA which is used to pass data and commands to the Tag(s) in the field. The PA output is filtered to reduce unwanted harmonics and noise. The filtered RF energy is fed to the custom antenna to energise the tag. Tags pass data back to the reader by modulating the RF field in various different ways dependent on the type and which ISO standard the tag conforms too. The detector section of the reader samples the RF field and passes this to the 4 receiver strips, each of which is configured to provide the necessary filtering and demodulation for the various tag types. TTL level data is passed from the active receiver strip to the micro controller where it is decoded, error checked and reformatted before being passed back to the host device.
