2.3 How to use KDCSLED-UHF1.0W
➢It is recommended to use KDCSLED-UHF1.0W as below picture to read RFID tag.
➢For optimal UHF tag read performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not
exceed the FCC, European Union guidelines, always follow below instructions and precautions:
oBefore using KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader, user should carefully read this manual to understand
how to use KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader properly.
oKDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader should be used by professional person who understand fully how to
operate KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader.
oMaintain at least 20cm between KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader and the body when reading UHF
RFID tag.
oKeep KDCSLED-UHF1.0W Antenna to face the UHF RFID tag, but not your body when reading
UHF RFID tag.
oExit UHF tag read mode and keep Barcode read mode when finished reading UHF tag.
oDon’t wear KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader when not using KDCSLED-UHF1.0W reader.
3. KDCSLED-UHF1.0W Configuration
3.1 Read Mode (Barcode-reading mode vs. Tag-reading mode)
➢There are two read modes. One is barcode-reading mode (Barcode can be read by SCAN button) and the
other one is tag-reading mode (UHF Tag can be read by SCAN button).
➢After reset, KDC470 is set to a barcode-reading mode.
➢The mode can be changed when you press and hold UP button for 3 seconds.
➢Or, the application can also change the mode between a barcode-reading mode and a tag-reading mode
using SDK.
➢When the mode is changed, 3 short beeps means a tag-reading mode. 1 long and 1 short beeps means a
barcode-reading mode.

3.2 Operation Mode (Single-reading mode vs. Multiple-reading mode)
➢KDC470 has two operation modes: Single-reading and Multiple-reading.
➢Single-reading mode means it reads only one tag by triggering the SCAN button once.
➢Multiple-reading mode means it reads multiple tags by triggering the SCAN button once.
➢The mode can be changed by scanning the special barcodes below. (The default is a Multiple-reading
mode).
Single-reading Mode
Multiple-reading Mode
➢In the single-reading mode, it keeps trying to read any tag until timeout value is expired. Once it reads any
tag, KDC470 sends the first read tag information to the host and stops reading.
➢In the multiple-reading mode, KDC470 sends all the information of the tags which are read until timeout
value is expired.
➢The application can also change the mode between a single-reading mode and a multiple-reading mode
using SDK.
3.3 Triggering Methods
➢There are two ways to read a UHF tag: Hardware-triggering and software-triggering.
➢The hardware-triggering is done by a SCAN button and the software-triggering is done by an API called
from an application using SDK.
3.4 Timeout Value
➢KDC470 has UHF tag reading timeout value with the same with Barcode reading timeout value. The
default timeout is a 2 second.
3.5 Data Types
➢KDC470 only sends EPC data to a host by default but sends along with PC data if the user configures
PC+EPC by reading the special barcode below.
Data Type –EPC
Data Type - PC+EPC
➢The data types can also be changed using SDK.

3.6 Data Format
➢KDC470 sends tag data to a host with binary format by default and can be changed to HexaDecimal
format by reading the special barcode below.
Data Format = Binary
Data Format = Hexa Decimal
➢The data format can also be changed using SDK.

FCC Statement
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
SAR Information Statement
Your RFID Module is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The
exposure standard for RFID Module employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 4.0 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the RFID Module transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the RFID Module
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the RFID Module is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a RFID Module model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The maximum scaled SAR in extremity
mode is 0.582W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various RFID Module and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model RFID Module
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this model RFID
Module is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID:VH9-KDCUHF10 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile RFID Module used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 25mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved
