FCC Part 15.249 Transmitter Certification Test Report FCC ID: U9O-RFE FCC Rule Part: 15.249 ACS Report Number: 07-0157-15C-RFE Manufacturer: Wireless Control Network Solutions, LLC.; dba Synapse Brand Name: RF Engine Model: RFE Manual 5015 B.U.
RF Engine Product Manual Rev 0.
1.0 RF Engine OEM Modules RF Engine modules meet IEEE 802.15.4 specifications. These modules provide a low power, highly reliable sensor wireless network at very low cost. The modules provide up to 16 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band. The are two versions of modules. One version has an external power amplifier. This module will be referred to as RF Engine with amplifier. The other module has no external power amplifier and is referred to as RF Engine without amplifier. 1.

1.4 User Options There are several options for the SNAP Module offerings to allow different capabilities for the user. Here is a partial list of these options. Option Description Embedded F-Antenna With the version of the module with embedded F-antenna, antenna is fully integrated into the module. External Antenna With the version of the module with RPSMA connector populated, an external antenna can be attached.
1.5 Mechanical Drawings These drawings in Figure 1-1 show both the version of the module with integrated F antenna and the version of the module with the SMA connector for use with an external antenna. Figure 1-1. Mechanical drawings of the RF Engine Modules.
1.6 Board Mounting Considerations The RF Engine modules are designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) on the host board. Picture 1-1 shows the receptacle area of a host board and Picture 1-2 shows a RF Engine module plugged in.
2.0 Agency Certifications 2.1 United States (FCC) The RF Engine nodules 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. The system integrator must place an exterior label on the outside of the final product housing the RF Engine Modules.
2.1.2 FCC Notices WARNING: The RF Engine modules have been tested by the FCC for use with other products without further certification (as per FCC Section 2.1091). Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Synapse could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTICE: OEM’s must certify final end product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC Section 15.107 and 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
2.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas The RF Engine modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications on channels 11 thru 26 of the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band as defined in I.E.E.E 802.15.4 specifications. 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.
2.2 Canada (IC) This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2.2.1 OEM Labeling Requirements Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC.
