(2) Use for nuclear energy control, railroad, aeronautical system, car, combustion equipment, medical equipment, amusement
facility, safety device, etc.
(3) Use for application which may have a great influence on people’s lives and property and must be executed safely in particu-
lar.
Notes on use

•
••
•Warning symbols and meanings
For safety operation of V690 Series RFID system, the warning symbols below are used in this User’s Manual.
The notes mentioned below gives you an important message for safety operation. Be sure to follow the instruction.
The warning symbols and meaning are as follows:
•
••
•Description of symbol
Notes on safety
WARNING The hazard or unsafe practice could result in severe injury or death.
•
••
•Explosive!
It may burst under a particular condition.

WARNING
Never disassemble, pressure, deform, heat to 100°C or more nor burn an ID tag. The ID tag con-
tains lithium battery and it may ignite, burst or burn.

.
For the safety, be sure to follow the instructions below:
1. Do not operate this device in any flammable, explosive or corrosive gas environment.
2. Do not disassemble, repair nor remodel this device.
3. Tighten the base lock screws and terminal block screws completely.
4. Be sure to use wiring crimp terminal of a specified size.
5. The 24 VDC power supply must meet the following items:
(1) Such 24 VDC power supply must be used for the V690 Series only and must not be connected to any other devices nor appara-
tuses.
(2) Voltage of such DC power supply must be within the specified rating (24 VDC +10%-15%).
6. Be sure to follow any other Warnings, Cautions and Correct Usage mentioned in this manual.
.
1. Do not install model V690-HMG01, model V690-D8KR01 and model V690-L01 in the following areas:
• Place exposed to the direct sunlight.
• Humid place where moisture condensation may occur.
• Place affected by vibration or impact.
2. Preliminary check of installation site.
This device uses the frequency band 2450 MHz for the communication between an antenna and tag. Some of radio equipment, such
as wireless LAN, cellular phone, personal handyphone system and transceiver, motor and switching power supply may generate a
radio wave (noise) which affects the communication with a tag. If you must use this device near such heater, we would like to ask
you to check the influence in advance.
To minimize general influence of noise, follow the instructions below:
• Ground any metallic material located around this device according to Class D (Class III).
• Wire this device keeping away from high voltage and heavy current.
3. Ambient environment and communication range
• The communication range varies depending on the installation site environment. This is because a metal material and the ground
reflect a radio wave, and water and human body absorb it. Locate an antenna and tag in the communication range and check the
radio wave environment in advance.
• The Read/Write antenna model V690-HMG01 has a communication test command to check the radio wave environment at a
working site. (Refer to Section 3-5.)
4. Be sure to ground any ground terminal according to Class D (conventional Class III). Otherwise, performance may deteriorate.
5. Cleaning of model V690-HMG01, model V690-D8KR01 and model V690-L01
• Do not use any thinner. Resin material and case paint are dissolved by thinner.

Laws and Standards

1. Radio interference between radio stations
The frequency 2450 MHz band (2434.25 - 2465.75 MHz) used by the microwave RFID system V690 is designated for second-gen-
eration low-power data communication system (wireless LAN), local area radio station (a license required) for mobile object identi-
fication and specified low-power radio station (no license required) as well as industrial, scientific or medical equipment such as
microwave oven. Therefore, the radio interference is expected in such frequency band. Moreover, the cellular phone and personal
handyphone system (900 MHz - 1900 MHz) may generate the radio interference.
2. Possible trouble due to ratio interference
• Communication failure in RFID system
The radio wave from an ID tag to antenna is weak and, therefore, the communication between the antenna and ID tag may fail due
to radio interference caused by any other devices. Keep sufficient space between the RFID system and any other devices. For the
space, refer to Section 7-6.
• ID tag battery power loss
An electronic circuit in the ID tag is started by a radio wave of other device and the battery power may be consumed considerably.
V690 has a tag power-saving function (refer to Section 3-7) to control the battery power. Nevertheless, the battery power may be
still consumed depending on a working environment. So, keep sufficient space between the ID tag and any other devices. For the
space, refer to Section 7-6.

3. Preparation at working site
(1) Check at working site
1) Before using V690, check that second-generation low-power data communication system (wireless LAN), local area radio station
(microwave RFID system) for mobile object identification or specified low-power radio station (microwave RFID system) does
not work near V690.
2) If V690 causes radio interference to the local area radio station for mobile object identification, change the channel immediately
or stop the V690 emitting the radio wave. Then, we would like you to contact us to take necessary actions to avoid interference
(e.g., partitioning).
3) If V690 causes radio interference to the second-generation low-power data communication system or specified low-power radio
station for mobile object identification or if any other trouble happens, feel free to contact us.
(2) Product label and caution label
The product label and caution label come with the product.
• Affix the product label to a visible position on an antenna unit.
• Affix the caution label to a visible position near the antenna. The caution label must show the contact address or phone number of
a person in charge of installation or any other related information.
(3) Meaning of product label
• 2.4: Radio equipment which uses the frequency band 2.4 GHz.
• RFID: The application of radio station is for mobile object identification.
• 10 mW: A value of antenna power.
• !!!: Frequency band as follows:
The V690 antenna uses the frequency band 2450 MHz and, therefore "2450" is marked.

2) If this device causes radio interference to the local area radio station for
mobile object identification, change the frequency band immediately or
stop this device emitting the radio wave. Then, we would like you to con-
tact below to take necessary actions to avoid interference (e.g., partition-
ing).
