FCC (All Readers)
This device compli es with part 15 of the FCC Rul es. Operation is subject to the foll owing two conditions: ( 1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must acc ept any interference received, incl uding interference that
may cause undesired operat ion.
Product Radio Certifications
The OMNIKEY 5127CK MINI M odule was tested under the FCC rules and Industry C anada rules for a Modular Approval
and therefore the f ollowing shall appl y: (reference below FCC/IC ID’s)
• Provided that the Antenna and tuning network hav e not been changed in any way, the Final Product label
may contain the HIID Global FCC ID. Provi ded no other radio devices exist within the final assembly. The
end integrator may use these ID’s, as long at the origi nal HID Global Label is visible.
• FCC ID: JQ6-OK5127CKMINI or IC ID: 2236B-OK5127CKMINI
• The End User/Manufacturer, will not need to repeat the intentional emissions testing (act ual radio
certification), however the un-int entional emissions testing will need to meet the FCC and IC requirem ents
with the module installed into the final assembl y or product. This also applies to CE Marking as defined by the
R&TTE Directive.
• However, in many cases, the module may need to be retuned, due to t he effects of the product enclosure and
assemblies within this enclosure, and the de-t uning affect that this may have on the radio circuitry. In thi s
case and if other radios exist, Class 2 Permissiv e Change is required.
• In the event that the HID OEM modules Kit is modified in any way, the radi o transmitter operating at either
125 kHz, 13.56 MHz and Bluetooth, when the module is integrat ed into the OEM’s final product, Radio
Certification is requi red for the final product.
• Obtain FCC Certification by submitting t he final product to a Telecommunications Certified Body (TCB )
laboratory that performs the testing and issue the FCC Grant . Standard: Part 15, Subpart C.
• Often the same TCB tests to Canada requirements and grants cert ification as a Certification Body (CB).
Standard: RSS-210, RSS-GEN and RSS-310, where applicable.
• The same laboratory may also be an EU Communications Assessment Body (CAB) that is accredited to test
to R&TTE Directive requirements for CE Marking. A pplicable standards: EN 300 330, EN 301 489-3, E N
50130-4, and IEC60950.
• A laboratory that is a CAB testing to R&TTE Directive requirem ents will also be testing to Australia and New
Zealand requirements because of a common test standard. Standard: AS/NZS 4268.
• Asian country certifications are obtai ned on an individual country basis.
OEM Final Product US Dept. of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) approval is required for USA based
companies who export and r e-export products using encryption.
Regulatory Compli ance Assistance - HID Global provides technical as sistance and laborat ory recommendations, as
