Standard antenna Manufacturer UANT Product model UB01C130F3D923A Frequency Range(MHz) 2400~2500 Impedance() Peak Gain(dBi) VSWR Polarization 50 2.5 2.5 Linear Connector Type IPEX connector 12 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet 5.2 Antenna Interference Reduction To ensure optimal RF performance, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts. If metal materials are wrapped around the antenna, the wireless signals will be reduced greatly, deteriorating the RF performance. Because BT7L-IPEX is inserted to the PCB, sufficient space needs to be reserved for the antenna. 6 Packaging Information and Production Instructions 6.1 Mechanical Dimensions Figure 6-1 BT7L-IPEX mechanical dimensions Note:
The default dimensional tolerance is 0.35 mm, and the tolerance for some 13 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet measurements is 0.1 mm. If a customer has other requirements, clearly specify them in the datasheet after communication. 6.2 Production Instructions 1. Use an SMT placement machine to mount components to the stamp hole module that Tuya produces within 24 hours after the module is unpacked and the firmware is burned. If not, vacuum pack the module again. Bake the module before mounting components to the module.
(1) SMT placement equipment i. Reflow soldering machine ii. Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment iii. Nozzle with a 6 mm to 8 mm diameter
(2) Baking equipment i. Cabinet oven ii. Anti-static heat-resistant trays iii. Anti-static heat-resistant gloves 2. Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:
(1) The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 30C and the relative humidity is lower than 70%.
(2) The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is six months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.
(3) The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC). Figure 6-2 HIC for BT7L-IPEX 14 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet 3. Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module package:
(1) If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive hours.
(2) If the 30% circle is pink, bake the module for 4 consecutive hours.
(3) If the 30% and 40% circles are pink, bake the module for 6 consecutive hours.
(4) If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are pink, bake the module for 12 consecutive hours. 4. Baking settings:
(1) Baking temperature: 1255C
(2) Alarm temperature: 130C
(3) SMT placement ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36C
(4) Number of drying times: 1
(5) Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking. 5. Do not use SMT to process modules that have unpacked for over three months. Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) is used for the PCBs. If the solder pads are exposed to the air for over three months, they will be oxidized severely and dry joints or solder skips may occur. Tuya is not liable for such problems and consequences. 6. Before SMT placement, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures. 7. To reduce the reflow defect rate, draw 10% of the products for visual inspection and AOI before first SMT placement to determine a proper oven temperature and component placement method. Draw 5 to 10 modules every hour from subsequent batches for visual inspection and AOI. 6.3 Recommended Oven Temperature Curve Perform SMT placement based on the following reflow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245C. Based on the IPC/JEDEC standard, perform reflow soldering on a module at most twice. 15 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet Figure 6-3 Oven temperature curve 16 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet 6.4 Storage Conditions 17 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet 7 MOQ and Packing Information MOQ and Packing Information Product Model MOQ (PCS) Packing Number of Number of Reel Method Modules in Packs in Each Each Reel Pack Box BT7L-IPEX 3600 Carrier tape and 900 4 reel packing 8 Appendix: Statement Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Declaration of Conformity FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 18 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled rolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. Important Note This radio module must not installed to co-locate and operating simultaneously with other radios in host system except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Additional testing and equipment authorization may be required to operating simultaneously with other radio. The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user. The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as shown in this manual, including: This product must be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and user body. This device have got a FCC ID:2ANDL-BT7L-IPEX. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:2ANDL-BT7L-IPEX This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. 19 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet 20 BT7L-IPEX Datasheet Declaration of Conformity European notice Hereby, Hangzhou Tuya Information Technology Co., Ltd declares that this module product is in compliance with essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU,2011/65/EU.A copy of the Declaration of conformity can be found at https://www.tuya.com This product must not be disposed of as normal household waste, in accordance with EU directive for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE- 2012/19/EU).
