Connector for power, serial communication, and antenna
The connectors are shown in picture 1.
Picture 1. Connectors for power, serial communication, and antenna
The connector type for power & data is S4B-XH-SM4-TB and S3B-XH-SM4-TB for the
antenna. Both connectors are manufactured by JST.
Antenna
The used Idesco antenna types are ATH or ATHC. ATH is a rectangular antenna on a printed circuit board. ATHC antenna is a round plastic cylinder with a diameter of 13.5mm and a length of 30mm. The length of cable in both antennas can be up to 17cm.
Host Device
9CD3.0 has power supply regulation. It uses a regulated 10VDC – 30VDC voltage supply which is supplied by the host device.
Labeling instructions
The FCC and ISED certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at
all times when installed in the host product; otherwise, the host product must
be labeled to display the FCC and ISED certification number for the module,
preceded by the word “contains” or similar wording expressing the same
meaning, as follows:
Contains FCC-ID: UJR9CD30
Contains IC: 6701A-9CD30
ThemoduleandantennaarelabelledaccordingtoFCCandISEDcertificationrequirements.
Installation
9CD 3.0 must be professionally installed.
The only permitted antenna types are ATH and ATHC.
Due to the unique market and function targeted by this product, this product
needs a trained professional engineer to configure and integrate this product
into the final host configuration.
The product will not be sold via retail or directly to the general public or
by mail order. It will be sold to authorized dealers or installers only.
The intended use of this product is not for consumers and the general public.
9CD 3.0 and antenna must be installed correctly. The tag can only be read when
it is within the reading distance of the antenna, which is less than a few
centimeters depending on the tag type.
The product will be installed inside the host system. It will not be possible
to replace either 9CD3.0 or ATH(C) or both later without disassembling the
host system first.
The installation requires special knowledge of the host system, its functions,
and operations.
This product can be installed by licensed professionals.
