INTEGRATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M may be installed in any host devices, as long as it is operated under the operational conditions stated in the user manual and other technical documents (e.g. data sheet).

LIST OF APPLICABLE RULES
Refer to the approval certificates, grants and declarations of conformity issued for TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M, and to Chapter “Compliance Statements” for a detailed list of the rules applicable to TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M.

SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL USE CONDITIONS
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M is an RFID reader module without antenna that can be connected to an external antenna through a printed circuit board (125 kHz, 13.56 MHz or both). TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M has been tested with a printed circuit board equipped with specific antennas (refer to Chapter “Antennas” for detailed information). The use of TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M with other antennas is technically possible. However, such use conditions require additional testing and/or approval.
If TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M is used with antennas as described under Chapter “Antennas”, there are no specific operational use conditions other than the conditions mentioned in the user manual and data sheet of TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M. The host manufacturer or integrator must ensure that these use conditions comply with the use conditions of the host device. In addition, these use conditions must be stated in the user manual of the host device.

For antenna information, refer to Chapter “Antennas”.

RF EXPOSURE CONSIDERATIONS
The module antenna(s) must be installed to meet the RF exposure compliance separation distance of 0 cm and any additional testing and authorization process as required.

Refer to Chapter “Compliance Statements” for detailed information about the radio frequency exposure conditions applicable to TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M. These RF exposure conditions must be stated in the end-product manual(s) of the host product manufacturer.

ANTENNAS
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M has been tested with an external printed circuit board equipped with the following antennas:

Elatec TWN4 MULTITECH NANO LEGIC 63M-fig3

  • HF antenna (13.56 MHz)
    • Outer dimensions: 32 x 29.4 mm / 1.26 x 1.16 inch Number of turns: 4
    • Inductance: 1.0 µH ± 20%
    • PCB trace width: 0.6 mm / 0.02 inch
  • LF antenna (125 kHz)
    • Outer diameter: max. 16.3 mm / 0.64 inch
    • Number of turns: 144
    • Inductance: 490 µH ± 5%
    • Wire diameter: 0.10 mm / 0.0039 inch Lead free, coil fixed by using backed wire
      Please note that the use of TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M with other antennas than the ones described above is not part of the approvals granted to the module. In case TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M is used with other antennas, a separate approval, additional testing or new authorization for a use with these specific antennas is required.

BLE module (2.4 GHz)
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M has an integrated BLE module.

For more information, refer to the related product data sheet or other relevant technical documents.

  • LABEL AND COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
    Refer to Chapters “Compliance Statements” and “Integrator and Host Requirements” for detailed label and compliance information.

  • TEST MODES AND ADDITIONAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS

    • No specific testing method has been defined by ELATEC for TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M.
      TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M has been tested and found in compliance with the specifications noted on the approval certificates and other relevant approval documents. However, the integrator is still responsible for any additional testing and authorization process required for the end product.

    • It is recommended that the host product manufacturer installing the modular transmitter perform some investigative measurements to confirm that the resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious emissions limits or band edge limits (e.g., where a different antenna may be causing additional emissions).

  • MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
    TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M is equipped with solder pads on both sides that enable to integrate (i.e. solder) the module directly onto the PCB or host device using the SMT technology. The components are mounted only on one side of the module to allow an easy integration into the host device.

  • ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

  • PROGRAMMATION/SOFTWARE INTEGRATION

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

EU
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M is in compliance with the EU directives and regulations as listed in the respective declaration of conformity.

UNITED KINGDOM
TWN4 MultiTech Nano LEGIC 63 M complies with the requirements of the UK legislations and other regulations as listed in the respective UK declaration of conformity. The importer is responsible for applying the following information to the packaging of the product:

  • the importer company’s details, including the company’s name and a contact address in the United Kingdom.
  • UKCA marking

INTEGRATOR AND HOST REQUIREMENTS

Compliance statements
All statements listed in Chapter “Compliance statements” of this integration manual must be also listed in the user manual of the host device.

Special accessories
Where special accessories such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device.

Simultaneous transmission
When the host product supports simultaneous-transmission operations the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required (e. g. the RF module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required please contact the person at ELATEC GmbH responsible for certification of the RF module.
