PDNBT001B Electronic Labels and Radio Modules

Read all documents and system instructions carefully to minimize the risk of injuring persons and to avoid damage to the system or damage to the environment. Always keep all documents and guidance accessible.
If necessary, the content of this document will be updated. You can request the latest version of the document via service@pdi- digital.com. Register at the https://www .pdi-digital.com to get access to the latest software and documentation.
An electronic label is a device that shows digital information on its display. In comparison to printed paper the information is automatically updated if object data changes. The PDi Digital electronic label family offers high- quality display options, operating with a replaceable battery, thus working without any external power supply.
The PDi Digital electronic label family can change all pixels to black, white or red/yellow – dependent on the available colors for the selected product. The current line-up has display sizes from 1.6 inch to 12.2 inch with the technologies of 2.4 GHz, NB-IoT and NFC in different combinations. They may be used in landscape and portrait mode and can be configured in terms of radio, theft protection, display protection and LED flash.
Next to the PDi Digital electronic label family, a radio module is available in order to give third parties access to the existing SES Imagotag + PDi Digital 2.4GHz infrastructure. The module is acting similar to an electronic label but has no display.

Note : battery lifetime can vary depending on the operating conditions of the labels (temperature, radio usage, reception, etc…).

General remarks

The sepioo labels must be installed according to the mounting instructions of the producer. In rare cases it may occur that the usage of wireless appliances is restricted by the building owner (e.g. Airport or Hospital). Please contact the appropriate authorities before installing the PDi Digital sepioo labels.

Environmental

General
E-Paper displays are moisture and UV sensitive. The absolute rating operating environments describes the boundary conditions for updating the display while the absolute rating storage environment (see Storage and warehousing) describes the boundary conditions for a display not updating.

| BW (2.4 GHz)| BW (NB IoT)| BW (Wide temp/Freezer)| BWR
---|---|---|---|---
Operating

temperature

| 0° C to +45° C| -15° C to +60°C| -25° C to +30° C| 10° C to +40° C
Operating temperature for maximum lifetime| 21° C| 21° C| 21° C| 21° C
Operating humidity| 30% – 80%| 30% – 90%| 30% – 80%| 35% – 70%

Cleaning Instructions
Clean the electronic label with the help of a damp cloth. Use only common household cleaners.
Do not clean the label with alcohol, solvents and / or abrasive cleaning products.
Note: Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners and keep it away from water.

Temperature and Humidity Conditions
High humidity combined with low temperature are not recommended.
Low temperature will reduce the battery lifetime.

Storage and warehousing

While displays are rated to perform according to specification for the warranty period at the absolute specified operating environment, the better the storage condition, the better the EPaper displays will perform. Like other moisture and UV sensitive components, we recommend that our labels are stored in temperature and humidity-controlled environments, and whenever possible, under below defined Optimal Storage Conditions, away from sunlight, to optimize their performance. It is strongly recommended to observe the following points to ensure the best operation, functioning and battery lifetime:

| BW| BW (NB IoT Outdoor/Indoor)| BW (Wide temp/Freezer)| BWR
---|---|---|---|---
Storage temperature| -20° C to +50° C| -20/-10 ° C to

+60/45° C

| -20° C to +50° C| -20° C to +50° C
Storage humidity| 30% – 80%| 45% – 85%| 30% – 80%| 40% – 70%
Optimal storage temperature| 15° C to +35° C| 15° C to +35° C| 15° C to +35° C| 15° C to +35° C
Optimal storage humidity (non-condensing)| 40% – 60%| 40% – 60%| 40% – 60%| 40% – 60%

Do not operate any ESL Infrastructure (e.g. SES-imagotag AP-2010 or MAP 2014T/Lancom L-151E, … ) in warehouse storing labels or where the radio coverage will activate stored labels.
The label will permanently try to connect to the access point, leading to less usable battery lifetime.
The maximum storage time of labels should not exceed 0.5-1 year If these listed limits are not complied, the specified battery lifetime can vary, and display quality can be influenced negatively.

Intended Use

All Devices need to be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
PDi Digital’s 2.4 GHz electronic label family is exclusively designed to connect to Access Points of the company SES-imagotag or acknowledged partners via radio.
The NB-IoT product family communicates via NB-IoT or LTE CAT M1 technology where a dedicated SIM card in nano format needs to be inserted and the configuration for the device needs to be setup accordingly (APN, bands, …).
The NFC product family communicates via NFC – for this an active NFC reader device or SmartPhone is required to enable the data and energy transfer to the device.
The device may only be used in areas where the environmental fulfill the requirements described in the chapter “Environmental”. The products are not intended for permanent outdoor usage.

PDi Digital is not responsible and does not assume liability for damage or injury to persons, property, environment and the PDi Digital electronic label family itself caused by improper installation or improper handling.
The operator assumes liability for any damage that results from improper use.
The following usage is not allowed:

Don’t drop electronic labels.
Keep electronic labels away from water except they are meant to be waterproof.
Don’t use electronic labels with defective parts.
Don’t use electronic labels with spare parts and accessories which are not examined and approved by PDi Digital.
Unauthorized changes or modifications to electronic labels and their components without the consent of PDi Digital are strictly forbidden.
PDi Digital’s electronic labels do not contain parts, except batteries, that are allowed to be maintained by the user.
PDi Digital’s electronic labels must NOT be dismantled. For necessary maintenance or repair works always contact the manufacturer.
Don’t throw electronic labels into the dustbin. Deposit electronic labels at a reprocessing company.
Contact PDi Digital for more details about the removal process.
Please do not use any liquid or spray cleaners directly on the surface of the electronic labels.
PDi Digital takes no responsibility for stolen electronic labels without encryption.
KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Swallowing batteries may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.
If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call local Poisons Information Authority, with contact information available online.
Don’t heat, recharge or bend the battery.
Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.
Dispose used button batteries immediately and safely. Empty batteries can still cause harm.
Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.
