2SAFETY INFORMATION

•ELATEC TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC is an electronic component and should be installed exclusively by a trained and qualified

personnel.

•ELATEC recommends the integrators to follow general ESD protective measures during the installation of

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC into a host device, e.g. the use of an antistatic wristband or special gloves.

•The integrator should not touch the antennas (if not shielded), printed circuit boards, connectors or other sensitive components on

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC.

•Before installing TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC into a host device, the integrator should also make sure that he/she has read

and understood the ELATEC technical documentation related to TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC, as well as the technical

documentation related to the host device. In particular, the instructions and safety information given in the user manual of

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC should be read carefully and listed in the technical documentation of the host manufacturer as

well, as soon as these instructions and safety information are required for a safe and proper use of the host device containing

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC.

3INTEGRATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 GENERAL

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC 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). TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC is equipped with one

integrated antenna. Thus, no antenna installation is required.

3.2 LIST OF APPLICABLE RULES

Refer to the approval certificates, grants and declarations of conformity issued for TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC, and to Chapter

“Compliance Statements” for a detailed list of the rules applicable to TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC.

3.3 SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL USE CONDITIONS

There are no specific operational use conditions for TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC other than the conditions mentioned in the user

manual and data sheet of TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC. 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.

3.4 LIMITED MODULE PROCEDURES

3.6 RF EXPOSURE CONSIDERATIONS

The module antenna(s) must be installed to meet the RF exposure compliance separation distance of 4 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 TWN3

Mini Reader MIFARE NFC.

These RF exposure conditions must be stated in the end-product manual(s) of the host product manufacturer.

3.7 ANTENNAS

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC is equipped with the following antenna:

HF antenna (13.56 MHz)

Dimensions: 27.5 x 25 mm / 1.08 x 0.98 inch

Number of turns: 4

For more information, refer to the related product data sheet or

other technical documents.

3.8 LABEL AND COMPLIANCE INFORMATION

Refer to Chapters “Compliance Statements” and “Integrator and Host Requirements” for detailed label and compliance information.

3.9 TEST MODES AND ADDITIONAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS

No specific testing method has been defined by ELATEC for TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC.

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC 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.

3.10 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The module is plugged onto socket connectors. No further mechanical fixation is provided.

4COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

4.1 EU

TWN3 Mini Reader MIFARE NFC is in compliance with the EU directives and regulations as listed in the respective declaration of

conformity.

4.2 RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

RF exposure statement (mobile and fixed devices)

This device complies with the RF exposure requirements for mobile and fixed devices. However, the device shall be used in such a

manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

5INTEGRATOR 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.
