Integrator Guide

This document is provided as clarification to integrators using the Connected Appliance Wireless Module (the ‘radio module’) to ensure

installations meet operational and regulatory requirements.

Relevant Documentation

Integrators should also should also access and refer to:

 Connected Appliance Wireless Module User Guide

 SZCAT API V4.0 (or latest revision)

 SZCAT API V4.0 Engineering Supplement (or latest revision)

 SZCAT API V4.0 Remote Cloud Service Supplement (or latest revision)

Mechanical & Electrical Considerations

To achieve proper operation of the radio module, integrators should comply with the following:

 DC power should be provided to the radio in the range of 7 ~ 15V

 Mechanical installation should be such that the radio module is solidly secured, particularly in appliances that may have electric motors,

etc. that can cause vibration like refrigerators and dishwashers.

 Mechanical installation should consider module and antennae (features along the edge of the radio module circuit board) placement

and orientation so as to optimize connections with an intended access point or router. For example: flush-mount of the radio module

against metal features, metal plates or metal enclosures is prohibited since it will have a detrimental effect on radio performance.

Regulatory Considerations

 No modifications of the radio module are allowed, especially as regards

o power regulation

o integrated shielding

o antennae

o    labelling indicating FCC and IC identification numbers otherwise regulatory approval is voided for that installation. To comply with regulatory exposure limits, the radio module must not be installed in any manner in which the clearance to an end user from the radio module and its integrated antennae is less than 20cm.
