Scope of usage This product was created with the sole intent of being installed on Toyota trucks and to be used in conjunction with Toyota and/or AES GmbH developed software. This product is intended to restrict access to truck ignition by providing an access system built on RFID‐tags. The SA3‐D device is an RFID reader that will allow or deny truck ignition based on the provided credentials. Approved credentials can be set on server OR be internally set on the SA3‐D RFID reader. The SA3‐D device will automatically log off any approved driver after x minutes of inactivity. 4. Restrictions of usage Usage is limited to the approved scope above, however extra strict emphasis is placed on the restrictions below. This equipment design typically applies to commercial or industrial equipment expected to be installed in locations where only adults are normally present.

1. How to use the SA3 RFID Reader The SA3 family consists of a number of RFID reader to be used "in the field". These devices feature CAN bus interface for easy system integration. The counterpart is a reader with USB interface(SA3‐USB). This device is used for tag family detection and system configuration. Application background is the categorization of RFID tags presented to the reader according to a criteria list. The minimal decision space is a binary red/green sorting. This information is provided to a host system for further processing. The evaluation of a tag‐ID read by the reader can be done remotely on a server or in a stand‐alone mode directly by the device itself. In the latter case the reader has to be trained by loading with a list of tags accepted. This is done by a dedicated RFID setup card. Up to 250 tag‐ID’s can be loaded. RFID‐cards and tags presented to the reader are identified based on the unique ID. A binary decision yes/no (accepted/not accepted) is made and signalized by the device’ LED’s or an external feedback system. The decision can be made in a stand‐alone‐mode by the device itself. In this case the device must be equipped with a list of tags to be accepted. These data are loaded into the device by RFID using a dedicated Setup‐Card. The Setup‐Card is a read/write RFIDtag with bigger memory. Up to 250 data sets can be stored. The alternative to the stand‐alone‐mode is the server mode. The list of tags to be accepted is stored at a remote server. Every tag‐ID read out is forwarded to this server, evaluated and a response is sent back to the SA3 reader for user feedback. This traffic has to be managed by an additional control unit. 2.
