1.4 Mechanical Drawings These drawings in Figure 1.1 show the module with the RPSMA connector for use with an external antenna. Figure 1.1 Mechanical drawings of the RF300PD1 Module 1.5 Board Mounting Considerations The RF300PD1 module is designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) on the host board. Picture 1.1 shows an RF300PD1 module plugged in to a host board. The receptacle sockets are on standard 2mm centers.
Host Board RF300PD1 Mounted Picture 1.1 RF300PD1 Mounted To Host Board 2.0 Agency Certifications 2.1 United States (FCC) The Model RF300 modules comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. Compliance with the labeling requirements, FCC notices and antenna usage guidelines is required. In order to comply with FCC Certification requirements, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must fulfill the following requirements. 1. 2. 2.1.
MANUFACTURERS NAME BRAND NAME or TRADE NAME Figure 2.1 FCC Label Contains RF300 FCC ID: U9O-RF300 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interferences, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2.1.
2.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas The RF300 modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications. The FCC requirement for mobile applications states that the antenna must be mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons. Notice: To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
RF Exposure WARNING: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. NOTICE: The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals in order to alert users of FCC RF Exposure compliance. 2.
Linx ANT-916-CW-RCL Dipole (quarter-wave RPSMA) - n Separation Fixed/Mobile 20 cm. 2.2.1 OEM Labeling Requirements Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A clearly visible label on the outside of the final product housing must display the contents shown in Figure 2.2 below. Figure 2.
