1.2 Security Advice
The QuasarMF HF RFID Reader was not designed for use in dangerous environments. Using
this product in applications where a failure could directly results in severe injuries or death
(“high risk activities”) is not permitted. This includes but is not limited to applications in
nuclear facilities, flight control systems, life support systems or weapon systems. The
manufacturer denies the suitability of this device for such scenarios.
1.3 Export Restrictions
The QuasarMF contains components that underlie US Export restrictions. It is therefore
forbidden to export the product to countries that are on the US trade embargo list. The
same applies to any countries that are on the EU embargo list.
1.4 Further Documents
While this documentation explains the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the
QuasarMF RFID Reader, it might be useful to also read the metraTec Protocol Guide, which
explains the protocols used to control the reader in full detail.
We also offer general information about how to set up the connection of the reader to the
antenna for optimum system performance in our HF Antenna Integration Guide.
