Introduction
The “10091-3XY” Reader/Writer is a contactless smart card Ethernet reader and writer
combining the high- and low frequency technologies. It supports Mifare, ISO 14443A/B
and ISO 15693 standards as well as all major 125KHz-based transponders.
Based on BALTECH’s core technology it provides support of the latest smartcard
technologies, encryption and security features.
Mounting and Connection
The reader generates a magnetic field at 13.56MHz and at 125 KHz frequencies which
could be influenced by any electrically conductive material close to the device.
To ensure good performances and functionalities in terms of read range and reliability a
minimum distance of 10cm from such materials is required. Mounting the unit directly to
metal would result in a severe reduction of read range down to zero functionality. Care
should be taken when testing the device after mounting at a problematic environment:
Read ranges and performance vary from card to card and very much from card to tag or
key-fob.
Operation
Whenever the device is connected to a proper power supply, it will switch on the internal
antenna and periodically scan for a card. Once a card has been detected, the card number
is read, the data converted and sent to the host system through the Ethernet Interface. To
enable the device to read cards, tags and key-fobs successfully, they should be placed
centred above the reader.

General regulatory requirements
FCC ID: OKY10091307A03A
IC: 7657A- 10091307
NOTICE:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by BALTECH AG may void
the FCC authorization to operate this 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.
