4.2 Configuring the Reader in accordance with national RF regulations
Configuration of the RFID Readers and the maximum transmitting power of the antennas are
affected mainly by the country-specific RF regulations. For the entire EU the limits are set forth in
the R&TTE Directive and EN 300 330. In North America this is regulated by FCC Part 15 (USA)
and by the RSS-210 (Canada).
The ID ISC.ANT310/310 antenna with the reader ID ISC.LR2000, ID ISC.MR200 and
ID.ISC.MR101, when used as intended, complies with the basic requirements of Article 3 and the
other relevant clauses of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EG of March 99. This means that operation
in the 29 EU countries and the EFTA countries (EU countries plus Switzerland, Norway and
Iceland) is possible with a maximum field strength of 42 dBµA/m
at 10 m distance (RF Output
power = 4W).
RF approval in accordance with EN 300 330 is still possible in all 46 CEPT countries.
The CEPT countries are:
Albania (ALB), Andorra (AND), Austria (AUT), Azerbaijan (AZE), Belarus (BLR), Belgium (BEL),
Bulgaria (BUL), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH), Croatia (HRV), Cyprus (CYP), Czech Republic
(CZE), Denmark (DNK), Estonia (EST), Finland (FIN), France (F), Germany (D), Greece (GRC),
Hungary (HNG), Iceland (ISL), Ireland (IRL), Italy (I), Latvia (LVA), Liechtenstein (LIE), Lithuania
(LTU), Luxembourg (LUX), Malta (MLT), Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (MKD), Moldova
(MDA), Monaco (MCO), Netherlands (HOL), Norway (NOR), Poland (POL), Portugal (POR),
Romania (ROU), Russian Federation (RUS), San Marino (SMR), Slovak Republic (SVK), Slovenia
(SVN), Spain (E), Sweden (S), Switzerland (SUI), Turkey (TUR), Ukraine (UKR), United Kingdom
(G), Vatican City (CVA) and Yugoslavia.
The following restrictions are in effect (as of: October 2009):
1. Outside the EFTA countries RF approval must in all cases be applied for. The existing
measuring protocols in accordance with EN 300 330 are generally sufficient.
To use the antenna ID ISC.ANT3100/310at a RF output power of 8W a radio license according
ERC/REC 70-03 Annex 9 Vol. F1 is necessary (operating with a maximum field strength of 60
dBµA/m at 10 m)! The following restrictions are in effect (as of October 2009):
1. For EU and EFTA countries an additional notification is required in each country.
2. Outside the EFTA countries RF approval must in all cases be applied for. The existing
measuring protocols in accordance with EN 300 330 are generally sufficient.
When placing the antennas in service, the systems integrator must ensure that the prescribed
mounting instructions are followed, the necessary Reader settings are made and permissible limits
according to the national regulations are not exceeded.
