4.7 Configuring the Reader in accordance with national RF regulations
Configuration of the RFID Readers and the maximum transmitting power of the antennas are
affected mainly by the country-specific RF regulations. For the entire EU the limits are set forth in
the R&TTE Directive and EN 300 330. In North America this is regulated by FCC Part 15 (USA)
and by the RSS-210 (Canada).
The ID ISC.ANT1300/680 antenna with the ID ISC.LR2000 Reader, when used as intended,
complies with the basic requirements of Article 3 and the other relevant clauses of the R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EG of March 99. This means that operation in the 29 EU countries and the EFTA
countries (EU countries plus Switzerland, Norway and Iceland) is possible with a maximum field
strength of 42 dBµA/m at 10 m distance.
RF approval (at a maximum field strength of 42 dBµA/m at 10 m) for the ID ISC.ANT1300/680
antenna with ID ISC.LRM2000 Reader has been granted in accordance with FCC Part 15 for the
USA and the RSS-210 for Canada
RF approval in accordance with EN 300 330 is still possible in all 46 CEPT countries.
The CEPT countries are:
Albania (ALB), Andorra (AND), Austria (AUT), Azerbaijan (AZE), Belarus (BLR), Belgium (BEL),
Bulgaria (BUL), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH), Croatia (HRV), Cyprus (CYP), Czech Republic
(CZE), Denmark (DNK), Estonia (EST), Finland (FIN), France (F), Germany (D), Greece (GRC),
Hungary (HNG), Iceland (ISL), Ireland (IRL), Italy (I), Latvia (LVA), Liechtenstein (LIE), Lithuania
(LTU), Luxembourg (LUX), Malta (MLT), Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (MKD), Moldova
(MDA), Monaco (MCO), Netherlands (HOL), Norway (NOR), Poland (POL), Portugal (POR),
Romania (ROU), Russian Federation (RUS), San Marino (SMR), Slovak Republic (SVK), Slovenia
(SVN), Spain (E), Sweden (S), Switzerland (SUI), Turkey (TUR), Ukraine (UKR), United Kingdom
(G), Vatican City (CVA) and Yugoslavia.
The following restrictions are in effect (as of: July 2006):
1. Outside the EFTA countries RF approval must in all cases be applied for. The existing
measuring protocols in accordance with EN 300 330 are generally sufficient.
2. Operation in Croatia (HRV) (maximum field strength 42 dBµA/m) is only possible with an
individual license!
When placing the antennas in service, the systems integrator must ensure that the prescribed
mounting instructions are followed, the necessary Reader settings are made and permissible limits
according to the national regulations are not exceeded.
