APPENDIX 4 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES
Compliance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the EU Directives, has been a legal
obligation for the products sold in European countries since 1996 as well as the Low
Voltage Directive since 1997.
Manufacturers who recognize their products are compliant to the EMC and Low
Voltage Directives are required to attach a "CE mark" on their products.

Appendix 4.1 Measures to comply with the EMC Directive
The EMC Directive specifies that "products placed on the market must be so
constructed that they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference (emissions)
and are not unduly affected by electromagnetic interference (immunity)".
This section summarizes the precautions on compliance with the EMC Directive of the
machinery constructed with the RFID interface module.
These precautions are based on the requirements and the standards of the regulation,
however, it does not guarantee that the entire machinery constructed according to the
descriptions will comply with abovementioned directives.
The method and judgement for complying with the EMC Directive must be determined
by the person who constructs the entire machinery.
Appendix 4.1.1 Installation instructions for EMC Directive
The RFID interface module is an open type device and must be installed inside a
control panel for use.
This not only ensures safety but also ensures effective shielding of RFID interface
module-generated electromagnetic noise.
(1) Control panel
Use a conductive control panel.
When attaching the control panel's top plate or base plate, mask painting and
weld so that good surface contact can be made between the panel and plate.
To ensure good electrical contact with the control panel, mask the paint on the
installation bolts of the inner plate in the control panel so that contact between
surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible area.
Ground the control panel with a thick wire so that a low impedance connection to
ground can be ensured even at high frequencies.
