   as goods and logistics management, warehousing management, animal
   management, and product tracing.

Product introduction
EC-UHF-A-2 is a two-channel module, which supports ISO18000-6C/EPC C1G2 protocol. Users can communicate with their own devices through RS232-TTL pins on its interface. Its wide power supply range (DC 3.6 V ~ 5.5 V) and configurable GPIO interface can provide users with more choices. Due to its low power consumption and small size, the module is very suitable for embedded in hand-held mobile devices and short-distance applications, such as short-distance handheld devices, embedded devices, card issuer, etc. .
1. Product features
Support ISO18000 -6 c/EPC C 1G 2 standard protocol; The standby current is less than 10uA; Provide AIP, library functions and demo packages;
2. Scope of application
It can be used in hand-held mobile devices, goods and logistics management, warehousing management, animal management, goods anti-counterfeiting, product tracing, electronic goods monitoring and manufacturing, production automation and other wireless RFID applications.

Labelling Instruction for Host Product Integrator
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains FCC ID: 2A83H -ECUHFA2” any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. Installation Notice to Host Product Manufacturer .
The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module. The module is limited to installation in mobile application, a separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to §2.1093 and difference antenna configurations.
Antenna Change Notice to Host manufacturer If you desire to increase antenna gain and either change antenna type or use same antenna type certified, a Class II permissive change application is required to be filed by us, or you (host manufacturer) can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application. FCC other Parts, Part 15B Compliance Requirements for Host product manufacturer This modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts listed on our grant, host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. Host manufacturer in any case shall ensure host product which is installed and operating with the module is in compliant with Part 15B requirements.
