1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing the Open-Q 660 uSOM Transmitter Module. Failing to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC and IC (Industry Canada) certifications and authorizations of the Module for use in the U.S. and Canada. The Module certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module.
2 Applicable Module Model USA/FCC CANADA/IC Open-Q 660 uSOM R68OQ660US 3867A-OQ660US Open-Q 660 uSOM Wi-Fi/BT Certification OEM Integrator Guide 6
3 Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator The modular certifications apply to the radio conformance for the Module only. The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system containing the Module. This includes but is not limited to Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Part 15 Class B Digital Emissions.
4 Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings Any adjustments made to increase transmit power settings will invalidate all radio certifications for this module.
5 Allowable Antennas to use with the Radio Module The module is certified for use with certain antennas as described in this section. Allowed Antenna Types: 1. Dipole antenna Table 1. Allowed Maximum Gain (dBi) Dipole, Including Cable Loss 2.4~2.5GHz 3.32 4.9~5.8GHz 6.11 The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Use of other antenna types or the same type of antenna but with higher gain than listed above is not allowed without additional testing and appropriate FCC or IC approval.
6 Antenna Placement and RF Safety The FCC and other countries’ regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user. OEM integrators must take great care to ensure each host system complies with the applicable RF exposure requirements.
7 Simultaneous Transmission with other Integrated or Plug-in Radios The FCC and IC impose conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located in the same host system as the Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. Co-locating other radios such as an integrated or plug in Wireless WAN/cellular radio with the Module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the FCC and IC.
8 Module May Not Be Installed by End Users FCC and IC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of the radio modules.
9 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host 9.1 FCC Labeling Requirements on the Outside of the Host The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is: Contains: FCC ID: R68OQ660US IC: 3867A-OQ660US The FCC requires a logo signifying emission compliance on the outside of the host system. The OEM integrator is responsible to perform FCC Part 15 Class B digital emissions testing on the end system with the radio Module installed.
10 Required Labeling on the Module 10.1 FCC and Industry Canada Labeling on the Module The OEM integrator must ensure that the FCC ID and IC number is affixed on the Module or in a User/Installation Manual along with other country certification numbers and logos as described herein. Note: The original Module manufacturer may affix regulatory labeling at time of Module manufacturing.
11 Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual The OEM integrator must provide instructions in the end user manual how to retrieve the module FCC ID for host devices using electronic labeling (for example an integrated display) in lieu of a physical label or nameplate to meet the labelling requirements of Industry Canada (Refer to FCC KDB 784748 D02 e labeling document for guidance). The OEM integrator must include text in the end user manual meeting the regulators’ requirements.
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions The module is tested for standalone mobile RF exposure use condition. Any other usage conditions such as colocation with other transmitter(s) or being used in a portable condition will need a separate reassessment through a class II permissive change application or new certification. 2.4 Limited module procedures Not applicable. 2.5 Trace antenna designs Not applicable. 2.
OEM/Host manufacturer responsibilities OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules.
NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada.
11.3 CE Requirements for End User Manual / Installation Manual This device complies with Directive 2014/53/EU issued by the Commission of the European Community. A minimum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the device, including the antenna during body-worn operation to comply with the RF exposure requirements in Europe. Frequency bands 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Frequencies 11b/g/n/ac 20MHz: 2412 – 2472 MHz, 13 Channels 2.
Operating temperature Parameter Min Typ Max Units Overall SOM (case temperature) -25 +25 +85 °C WLAN 5 GHz Operations in the 5.18-5.24 GHz and 5260-5320 GHz frequency are restricted to indoor usage in all member states. Integrator Important Note: SOMs are configured from the factory for FCC compliance, so are not CE compliant. To ensure CE compliance, please contact Lantronix Technical Support for the files and instructions on how to reconfigure devices destined for sale in Europe.

12 OEM Integrator Checklist The OEM Integrator will integrate the Module in the host systems in accordance with the instruction specified in this document and the documents referenced herein. The OEM Integrator will ensure the Module is integrated in a host system using only antennas that are of the same type and having equal or less antenna gain as described in this document.
