Functions and features
The multiprotocol-capable RFID reader DTE830 / DTE930 reads active and passive ID tags in different frequency ranges:
- Europe: 865 – 868 MHz
- USA: 902 – 928 MHz
- Australia: 916 – 927 MHz
On delivery the device can read and write ID tags according to the EPC Gen2 standard. Further protocols can be imported via software updates.
The device communicates with the ID tags via transmitting and receiving antennas which are connected to the max. 4 antenna connections.
The device is designed for indoor use.
Because of the requirements for electromagnetic interference emissions, the device is intended for use in industrial environments. The device is not suitable for use in domestic areas.
The device may only be used under the operating conditions specified in the
data sheet.
Radiated electromagnetic field strength
CE marking
The device complies with the requirements to CE.
- Brand name: ifm electronic DTE830 RFID UHF reader for Europe
The device is designed for operation in accordance with EN 302208. When
operating the device with connected antennas, observe the human exposure
regulations to EN 50364. Ensure a minimum distance of 23 cm between antenna
and people. During operation, cardiac pacemakers may be impaired. In case of
doubt, persons concerned should consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or
the attending doctor.
The output power of the device can be reduced depending on the antenna cable length and the antenna gain.
FCC labelling
The device complies with the requirements to FCC Part 15.
- Brand name: ifm electronic DTE930 RFID UHF reader for US (FCC)
The device is designed for operation in accordance with FCC Part 15.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference.
- This device must accept any interference received including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
The device complies with the FCC limits for radiation exposure in a non- controlled environment: Ensure a minimum distance of 23 cm between antenna and people.
In order to comply with the regulations of FCC Part 15 in the United States, the system must be professionally installed. The operator and the installer have to ensure that only systems certified in the United States are used.
ISED Canada Regulatory Information
This device complies with ISED RSS standard(s) (Radio Standards Specifications) for licence-exempt radio apparatus. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Under ISED regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, choose the antenna type and its gain such that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by ISED to operate with the antenna
types listed as accessories, with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
ISED RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with ISED RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
Make sure this equipment is installed and operated with a minimum distance of 34 centimetres between the radiator and your body.

Elimina
te radio disturbance
The device usually operates without any interference caused by radio communication, provided it is
- used as intended (→ 3 Functions and features),
- correctly installed (→ 6 Installation).
The operation free of radio disturbance cannot be guaranteed for each
application.
If the device causes radio disturbance in an application, the following instructions will help:
► Realign the receiving antenna.
► Change the position of the receiving antenna.
► Increase the distance between the device and the antenna.
► Change the power supply of the device.
If the device and the antenna use the same circuit, radio disturbance may occur.
► Contact the support of the manufacturer.
