Regulatory and Compliance Information
FCC Compliance
The system is design to operate with RF Code Active RFID Tags, operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz, which have been
certified or are in the certification process. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
a. FCC ID: P6F2005433 for standard products with beacon intervals greater than, or equal to ten seconds.
b. FCC ID: P6F433MHZ for security tags with beacon intervals less than ten seconds, where the total
duration of transmissions does not exceed more than two seconds per hour for each transmitter.
c. FCC ID: P6FX for M174 IT Asset Tags
d. FCC ID: P6FZ for R156 Humidity-Temperature Tags
CE Compliance
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures. This equipment complies with the requirements relating to electromagnetic
compatibility, EN 55022 Class A, the essential protection requirement of Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
WEEE Compliance
Do Not Dispose of the Product with Municipal Waste. Special Collection/Disposal Required.
Battery Statement
RF Code warrants all tags to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year.
Based on the ratings and specifications from the battery manufacturers, RF Code develops usage models to calculate the
life of the active RFID Tags. Like all models, there are assumptions and approximations involved. The values are to be
taken as engineering estimates and not as guarantees of performance.
In most asset tag deployment scenarios, RF Code tags with a 10-second beacon rate have a useful life of 5-to-7 years.
In most sensor tag deployment scenarios, RF Code tags will typically have a useful life of 3 or more years. Exposure to
extreme temperatures will shorten the battery life of any sensor tag.
