Overview This manual describes the key features, pin out, recommended operating conditions, working of RF module and operating instructions to test the module for FCC. CIMCON RF modules are designed to operate within the ZigBee protocol and support the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks. The modules require minimal power and provide reliable delivery of data between remote devices. The modules operate within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band work on ZigBee protocol. 1.2. Key Features The key features of RF modules are as follows:
Operates from wide 2.1VDC to 3.6VDC Maximum transmit current is 150mA (Typical at 3.0V) Maximum Receive current is 38mA Maximum transmit power is +22dBm Receiver Sensitivity of -104dBm Various serial interfaces like UART, SPI (master/ slave), and TWI Six external ADC sources with 14-bit resolution Urban range of ~85m Line of sight range of ~1750m 1-1 This information is confidential and proprietary to CSI and is to be used only for the purpose for which it is provided.

FCC Approvals The CIMCON SMT module and through hole module with the integrated wire whip Antenna as well as the SMT module and through hole including the 2.1dBi external antenna complies with FCC CFR Part 15 (USA). The devices meet the requirements for modular transmitter approval. External Antennas:
Dipole Antenna (P/N: A24-HASM-525; Maximum Antenna Gain: 2.1dBi) Dipole Antenna (P/N: A24-HASM-450; Maximum Antenna Gain: 2.1dBi) 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 interference. 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by CIMCON can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commissions rules. The following statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products to alert users on FCC RF exposure compliance:
WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 CM or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To closer distances than this are not recommended. 1.4. FCC Labeling Requirements operations at compliance, ensure When integrating the CIMCONs SMT module or TH module into a product it must be ensured that the FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the finished product specifying the CIMCONs FCC identifier (FCC ID: S3Z-CIM35X1) as well as the notice above. This exterior label can use wording such as Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: S3Z-CIM35X1 or Contains FCC ID: S3Z-CIM35X1 although any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. 1-2 This information is confidential and proprietary to CSI and is to be used only for the purpose for which it is provided.

Other than mechanical considerations, no special PCB placement is required for integrating CIMCON RF radios. In general, Power and GND traces should be thicker than signal traces and be able to comfortably support the maximum currents. The radios are also designed to be self-sufficient and work with wire whip and external antennas without the need for additional ground planes on the host PCB. However, considerations should be taken on the choice of antenna and antenna location. Metal objects that are near an antenna cause reflections and may reduce the ability for an antenna to efficiently radiate. Using an integral antenna (like a wire whip antenna) in an enclosed metal box will greatly reduce the range of a radio. For this type of application an external antenna would be a better choice. External antennas should be positioned away from metal objects as much as possible. Metal objects next to the antenna or between transmitting and receiving antennas can often block or reduce the transmission distance. Some objects that are often overlooked are metal poles, metal studs or beams in structures, concrete
(it is usually reinforced with metal rods), metal enclosures, vehicles, elevators, ventilation ducts, refrigerators and microwave ovens. The Wire Whip Antenna should be straight and perpendicular to the ground plane and/or chassis. It should reside above or away from any metal objects like batteries, tall electrolytic capacitors or metal enclosures. If the antenna is bent to fit into a tight space, it should be bent so that as much of the antenna as possible is away from metal. Caution should be used when bending the antenna, since this will weaken the solder joint where the antenna connects to the module. Antenna elements radiate perpendicular to the direction they point. Thus a vertical antenna emits across the horizon 5-1 This information is confidential and proprietary to CSI and is to be used only for the purpose for which it is provided.
