It is a basic reference to ensure all connections are properly made. See the appropriate Product Manual for detailed information on installing Pyramid Series Readers or Cobra Readers (such as the P-300, P-500, P-640, P-700, or EM-30, EM-50, EM-64). These documents may be downloaded from the Farpointe Data website found at www.pyramidseries.com; under Support > Technical Documents. NOTE: Installation and performance of a Pyramid Series Reader with HID compatibility (on operational fea- tures) is identical to standard Pyramid Series Readers. All Farpointe Data Readers are compliant with the following organizations: FCC compliance Statement: 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. 1.0Cable Requirements All readers operate at up to 500 feet (152 m) of cable, using seven-conductor, shielded, stranded cable. Per the Security Industry Association’s Wiegand specification, AWG 24 (such as Belden 9537) is the minimum gauge required for data transfer in a 500-foot run length. However, the proper wire gauge to use must be determined by the current draw requirements of the reader, the length of the cable run, and the voltage applied to the reader. If the reader is to be operated at 5 VDC, 5 VDC must be available at the reader (long cable runs have a volt- age drop due to the resistance in the cable). A larger gauge of wire (having less resistance) or a separate power supply near the reader may be required to ensure 5 VDC is available at the reader. 2.0Output Formats •Wiegand (industry standard 26-bit Wiegand and custom Wiegand formats) •Magnetic Stripe (ABA Track II, clock and data, with card present) 3.0Grounding Shield (drain) continuity must run from the reader to the access panel. Shield (drain) and reader ground must be tied together at the access panel and connect to an earth ground at one point. 4.0Power A reader may be powered by the access panel, so the reader is powered on when the access panel is pow- ered on. However the best case is to power the reader by a separate, linear power supply. 5.0Voltage •Typically 5 to 14 VDC NOTE: The user is cautioned that making changes not approved by Farpointe Data may void the user's authority to use this equipment. • • • Farpointe Data 2177 Leghorn Street01506-001 - Rev. 1.3 Mountain View, CA 94043-1605 USA2 of 2 Tel: +1-650-964-2615 Fax: +1-650-988-6687 Web: www.pyramidseries.com E-mail: [email protected] Installation Guide Proximity Readers 6.0Reader Wiring 7.0Troubleshooting the Reader Installation Figure 1: Wiring Connections for Wiegand Output Figure 2: Wiring Connections for Magnetic Stripe Output ProblemPossible CauseCorrective Action The reader does not recog- nize a card/tag (no beep, no LED flash) 1.One or more of the reader’s wir- ing connections are incorrect Power down the reader/access panel and verify the wiring connection are correct for the reader/access panel combi- nation. 2.The reader is not receiving proper power from the access panel Verify the voltage supplied to the reader is between 5 and 14 VDC. a a. A supply voltage of 12 VDC at the reader is recommended for best operation. 3.The reader is mounted too close to a device that radiates electro- magnetic interference Devices such as computer monitors radiate electromag- netic interference that affects read range. When possible, relocate either the reader or the device to provide greater separation between the two. 4.You are using an incorrect type of card. Make sure you are using an access card that is compatible with the reader. The reader has a short read range. 1.The reader/access panel is not properly grounded. Ensure there is a quality earth ground connection made to the access panel. Refer to the access panel’s documenta- tion for information regarding the earth ground connec- tion. 2.The shield wire for the reader’s cable has opened somewhere between the reader and the access panel. Verify the shield line from the access panel to the reader is one continuous, connected line. Refer to the access panel’s documentation and verify the shield line is correctly con- nected to the access panel. 3.The reader is mounted too close to a device that radiates electro- magnetic interference. Devices such as computer monitors radiate electromag- netic interference that affects read range. When possible, relocate either the reader or the device to provide greater separation between the two. 4.The power supply is generating electromagnetic interference The power supply on the access panel must be a regu- lated, linear supply. Do not use switching supplies as they are often sources of electromagnetic interference.

FCC ID: T8I-COBRA Dear Mike, On behalf of my client Farpointe Data Inc., I request the following documents associated with this application for certification be withheld from public view: Schematics Block diagrams Operational description Internal photographs Justification for including internal photographs in confidentiality request: In final assembly all circuits are surrounded by opaque potting material, Removing this material to inspect circuits will likely destroy circuits imbedded in the potting material. Farpointe Data Inc. has expended considerable time and funds in developing the referenced product, and disclosure of these documents to competitors would afford them an unfair advantage in developing similar competing products. If you have questions or need further information please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, T.N. Cokenias Agent for Farpointe Data Inc.

Farpointe Data FCC ID: T8I-COBRA Report No. 06PR047FCC 30 Oct 2006 page1 Test Report for Unlicensed Low Power Transmitter FCC Applicable Rule Parts: 15.205, 15.207, 15.209 Applicant: Farpointe Data Inc. 2177 Leghorn Street Mountain View, CA 94043 FCC ID: T8I-COBRA Model Nos.: EM-30, EM-50, EM-64 Description of device: The Cobra Series Proximity line of OEM proximity readers, cards, and tags are low frequency, non-contact, identification solutions based upon the latest techniques in radio frequency identification (RFID). The proximity reader has a receiver circuit, a microprocessor, and a 125kHz exciter circuit that includes a magnetic coil. The tags and cards that are read by the reader have a highly reliable radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), attached to a magnetic coil inside a durable, environmentally secure plastic housing. The referenced models all use the same RF transmit and receive circuits, the differences among models consist of coil size, non-RF features such as keypads, and form factors. Model EM-50 has the largest coil and the highest output power and is worst-case representative for both radiated and line conducted emissions. TEST REQUIREMENTS The referenced device is subject to certification under Part 2 of FCC Rules. The specific emissions limits and test requirements are found in Part 15 of FCC Rules. In addition to the device specific requirements listed in 15.249 (re-printed below), the following Part 15 requirements are universal to all unlicensed transmitters and would also apply: 15.19 Labeling requirements 15.20 Accessories 15.21 Information to user 15.31 Measurement standards 15.33 Frequency range of measurements 15.35 Measurement detector functions and bandwidths 15.109 Radiated Emissions (unintentional radiators) 15.203 Antenna requirement 15.204 External radio frequency power amplifiers and antenna modifications. 15.205 Restricted bands of operation. 15.207 Conducted limits 15.209 Radiated emission limits, general requirements.
