This document is designed for use by RFID system integrators. RFID Reader Module Overview The FS-GM102 is embedded with Impinj R2000 chip and compliant with EPC Class1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C. The FS-GM102 supports one antenna port for bi-static configuration on RFID reader. The RFID Reader module is delivered with the following components:  One (1) RFID Reader Module. EPC Class 1 UHF RFID Tags The Favite FS-GM102 RFID reader module is designed to read and program any EPC Class 1 Generation 2 tag (see below) and issue event reports to a host computer system. The reader module is also designed to read and program Class 1 Generation 2 tags. Class 1 Generation 2 tags are “passive” devices meaning they do not have a battery or other onboard power source. They are powered solely by the RF energy transmitted by an RFID reader. They communicate with the reader through backscatter modulation in which the tags do not actually transmit RF energy. Instead, they change their reflective characteristics in a systematic way and reflect RF energy back to the reader. An analogy to this is the way you can use a mirror to transmit information by reflecting light from the Sun. Favite Inc. manufactures user-programmable EPC Class 1 Generation 2 tags compliant with all key commercial and DoD mandates. Favite offers a variety of designs capable of delivering optimal performance worldwide, including Europe and Asia.

See FCC OET Bulletin 56 “Hazards of radio frequency and electromagnetic fields” and Bulletin 65 “Human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.” Mount the antenna at the periphery of the desired read window (either overhead or at the side), so that the position of the most distant tag passing through the window is no farther from the antenna than the maximum range specified for your system design. Position the antenna at a height approximately midway between the highest and lowest expected tag position. (For example, a pallet tag may be the lowest tag position to be read, while the top-most case on a fully stacked pallet may represent your highest tag position.) 8 FCC statement in User’s Manual (for class B) “Federal Communications Commission(FCC) Statement” 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 interfe…

Report No.: SA990316C02 Report Format Version 3.0.1 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: SA990316C02 MODEL NO.: FS-GM102 FCC ID: XLG-FS-GM102 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Favite Inc. ADDRESS: No. 176, Taihe Road, Jhubei City,Hsinchu County 30267, Taiwan ISSUED BY: Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services (H.K.) Ltd., Taoyuan Branch LAB LOCATION: No. 81-1, Lu Liao Keng, 9th Ling,Wu Lung Tsuen, Chiung Lin Hsiang, Hsin Chu Hsien 307, Taiwan Report No.: SA990316C02 Report Format Version 3.0.1 2 RF Exposure Measurement 1. Introduction In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC) calibrated for antenna measurement in our lab, and also the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case to specify the safety range. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b) 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) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 300-1500 ... ... F/300 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 5 6 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500 ... ... F/1500 30 1500-100,000 ... ... 1.0 30 F = Frequency in MHz Report No.: SA990316C02 Report Format Version 3.0.1 3 3. Friis Formula Friis transmission 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 Pd is the limit of MPE, 0.601 mW/cm2. If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the MPE value at distance 23cm. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 4.
