To ensure the best RF performance, it is recommended that the antenna be at least If metal materials are wrapped around the 15 mm away from other metal parts. antenna, the wireless signal will be greatly attenuated, thereby deteriorating the RF performance. When designing the finished product, please leave enough space for the antenna. 16 / 30 6 Antenna information 17 / 30 7 Packaging information and production instructions 7 Packaging information and production instructions 7.1 Mechanical dimensions 18 / 30 7 Packaging information and production instructions 19 / 30 7 Packaging information and production instructions The following is a schematic diagram of BF8H-N which shows how pins correspond to each other:

If you have specific requirements on dimensions, specify 7.2 Production instructions 1. The Tuya SMT module should be mounted by the SMT device. After being un-
packed, it should be soldered within 24 hours. Otherwise, it should be put into the drying cupboard where the RH is not greater than 10%; or it needs to be packaged under vacuum again and the exposure time needs to be recorded
(the total exposure time cannot exceed 168 hours). SMT devices:
Mounter SPI Reflow soldering machine Thermal profiler Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment Baking devices:
Cabinet oven Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant trays Anti-electrostatic and heat-resistant gloves 2. Storage conditions for a delivered module:
The moisture-proof bag must be placed in an environment where the tem-
perature is below 40C and the relative humidity is lower than 90%. The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 12 months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed. There is a humidity indicator card (HIC) in the packaging bag. 23 / 30 7 Packaging information and production instructions 3. The module needs to be baked in the following cases:
The packaging bag is damaged before unpacking. There is no HIC in the packaging bag. After unpacking, circles of 10% and above on the HIC become pink. The total exposure time has lasted for over 168 hours since unpacking. More than 12 months has passed since the sealing of the bag. 4. Baking settings:
Temperature: 60C and 5% RH for reel package and 125C and 5%
RH for tray package (please use the heat-resistant tray rather than plastic container) Time: 48 hours for reel package and 12 hours for tray package Alarm temperature: 65C for reel package and 135C for tray package Production-ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36C Re-baking situation: If a module remains unused for over 168 hours after being baked, it needs to be baked again. If a batch of modules is not baked within 168 hours, do not use the reflow soldering to solder them. Because these modules are Level-3 moisture-
sensitive devices, they are very likely to get damp when exposed beyond the allowable time. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, it may result in device failure or poor soldering. 5. In the whole production process, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective 24 / 30 7 Packaging information and production instructions measures. 6. To guarantee the passing rate, it is recommended that you use the SPI and AOI to monitor the quality of solder paste printing and mounting. 7.3 Recommended oven temperature curve Set oven temperatures according to the following temperature curve of reflow sol-
dering. The peak temperature is 245C. A: Temperature axis B: Time axis C: Liquidus temperature: 217 to 220C D: Ramp-up slope: 1 to 3C/s E: Duration of constant temperature: 60 to 120s; the range of constant tem-
perature: 150 to 200C F: Duration above the liquidus: 50 to 70s G: Peak temperature: 235 to 245C H: Ramp-down slope: 1 to 4C/s The above curve is just an example of the solder paste SAC305.

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. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used following the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device 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 device and receiver. Connect the device 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 device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled rolled environment. This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. Important Note This radio module must not be installed to co-locate and operating simultaneously with other radios in the host system except following FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Additional testing and device authorization may be required to operate simultaneously with other radios. The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the in-
tended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end-user. 28 / 30 9 Appendix: Statement The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance with any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certi-
fication. 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/warnings 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 has got an FCC ID: 2ANDL-BF8H-N. The end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2ANDL-BF8H-
N. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and the transmitter module may not be co-located with any other trans-
mitter or antenna. As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter tests will not be re-
quired. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. 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. 29 / 30 9 Appendix: Statement This product must not be disposed of as normal household waste, in accordance with the EU directive for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE-2012/19/EU). Instead, it should be disposed of by returning it to the point of sale, or a municipal recycling collection point. The device could be used with a separation distance of 20cm to the human body. 30 / 30
