1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing the Open-Q 845 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 2 Applicable Module Model USA/FCC CANADA/IC Open-Q 845 uSOM R68OQ845US 3867A-OQ845US Open-Q 845 uSOM Module Certification OEM Integrator Guide 6
3: Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator 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.
4: Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings 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 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.
6: Antenna Placement and RF Safety 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.
7: Simultaneous Transmission with other Integrated or Plug-in Radios 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 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 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: R68OQ845US IC: 3867A-OQ845US The FCC requires a logo signifying emission compliance on the outside of the host system.
10: Required Labeling on the Module 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 11 Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual 11.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 21 cm between the radiator & your body. This module is intended for OEM integrators only.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual 2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations: Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements ISED établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance minimale de 24 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed and operated with minimum distance of 24 cm between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains IC: 3867A-OQ845US”.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual Avertissement: Le guide d’utilisation des dispositifs pour réseaux locaux doit inclure des instructions précises sur les restrictions susmentionnées, notamment: (i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux; (ii) pour les dispositifs munis d’an
12: OEM Integrator Checklist 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.
