Preface Thank you for choosing Profoto! Thanks for showing us your confidence by investing in a Profoto Air device. For more than five decades we have sought the perfect light. What pushes us is our conviction that we can offer even yet better tools for the most demanding photographers. Before our products are shipped we have them pass an extensive and strict testing program. We check that each individual product comply with specified performance, quality and safety.
Important user information NOTE ABOUT RF: This equipment makes use of the radio spectrum and emits radio frequency energy. Proper care should be taken when the device is integrated in systems. Make sure that all specification within this document are followed, especially concerning operating temperature and supply voltage range. Make sure the device is operated according to local regulations. The frequency spectrum this device is using is shared with other users. Interference can not be ruled out.
Introduction RMIX is the base for the next generation of Profoto’s versatile modular communication platform. It is based on the communication in the 2.4GHz ISM- band and has impressive performance with a range of up to 300 meters. General Description The RMIX module is powered by an 8-bit micro processor with a radio transceiver from Texas Instrument and features a complete feature set for wireless interaction with the Profoto Air range of professional studio equipment.

Interface Description Connector type The interface to the host system is implemented as a 19 solder pads. Please make sure to follow the guidelines for footprint. UART Serial Interface The UART is using pins 1, 15 and 16. To connect to a RS232 line you must use a TTL converter (a dongle from B&B Electronics is recommended) from 3V to 12V. Serial characteristics: 38400.
For a list of available commands see the software documentation. NOTE! Connecting the module to a UART port without a line level converter may damage the module.

There are some key factors you need to consider when integrating the module.
Electrical Integration The minimum connections needed for operation is: PIN Function Comment 1 GND Radio ground 2 +3V Radio power 5 GND CPU ground 6 +3V CPU power 8 COM TX UART output 9 Reset Active low 12 TTL Active low 15 COM RX UART input Antenna Integration The RMIX module is available in one configuration with an integrated chip antenna. The antenna should not be modified in any way, doing so will void the approvals for the module.
CE (EU/EES) The RMIX module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU). Please note that every end product using the RMIX module will need to undergo EMC testing according to EN 301 489-17 V3.1.1 (or later). For RF, conduced test results can be inherited from the RMIX test report to the end product using RMIX. Limited EN 300 328 V2.1.
Integration instructions for host product manufacturers according to KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01 2.2 List of applicable FCC rules 15C 2.3 Specific operational use conditions This module is approved for use in portable and mobile applications. Integrators must supply operating instructions for end users and installers to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements are met. Integrators and installers must also make sure that compliance with Part 15B are ensured. 2.
positioned a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. For on camera mounted operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the device is positioned a minimum of 2.0 cm from the head and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
FCC ID: W4G-RMIX and IC: 8167A-RMIX IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product.
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
Japan (ARIB) Japanese Radio Law and Japanese Telecommunications Business Law Compliance. This device is granted pursuant to the Japanese Radio Law (電波法) and the Japanese Telecommunications Business Law (電気通信事業法) This device should not be modified (otherwise the granted designation number will become invalid).
