ments on dimensions, make them clear in the datasheet after communication. 8.2 Recommended PCB Layout The following gure is a schematic diagram of WBR3L which shows how pins corre-
spond to each other. 16 / 25 8 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS WBR3L PCB Layout is shown as belows:

18 / 25 8 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 8.4 Production Instructions 1. Tuyas stamp hole package module must be mounted by SMT machine within 24 hours after unpacking and programming of rmware. Otherwise, it must be packaged again under vacuum. The module must be baked before mounting. A. SMT equipment Reow soldering machine Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment Nozzle with a 6 mm to 8 mm diameter B. Baking equipment Cabinet oven Anti-static heat-resistant trays Anti-static heat-resistant gloves 19 / 25 8 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 2. Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:
The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 30C and the relative humidity is lower than 70%. The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 6 months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed. There is a humidity indicator card in the moisture-proof bag as belows:
3. Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive If the 30% circle is pink, bake the module for 4 consecutive hours. If the 30% and 40% circles are pink, bake the module for 6 consecutive hours. If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are pink, bake the module for 12 consecutive package:
hours. hours. 4. Baking settings:
Baking temperature: 1255C Alarm temperature: 130C SMT ready temperature after natural cooling: \< 36C The number of drying times: 1 Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking 5. Do not use SMT to process modules that have been unpacked for more than 3 months, because electroless nickel/immersion gold (ENIG) is used for PCBs and they are seriously oxidized after more than 3 months. SMT is very likely to cause pseudo and missing soldering. Tuya is not liable for such problems and consequences. 6. Before SMT, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures. 7. To reduce the reow defect rate, draw 10% of the products for visual inspection and AOI before the rst mounting to determine proper methods for controlling 20 / 25 8 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS the oven temperature and attaching and placing components. Draw 5 to 10 modules from subsequent batches each hour for visual inspection and AOI. 8.5 Recommended Oven Temperature Curve Perform SMT based on the following reow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245C. The reow temperature curve is shown as belows: Refer to IPC/JEDEC standard; Peak Temperature: \<245; The number of Times: 2 times 21 / 25 8 PACKAGING INFORMATION AND PRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS 8.6 Storage Conditions 22 / 25 9 MOQ and Packaging Information 10 APPENDIX-STATEMENT Product Number MOQ (pcs) Shipping packaging method The number of modules per reel (pcs) The number of reels per carton (reel) WBR3L 3600 Tape reel 900 4 10 Appendix-Statement FCC Caution: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equip-
ment. 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 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 o and on, the user is encour-
aged 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. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent 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 ex-
posure limits set forth for an uncontrolled rolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the ra-
diator and your body. 23 / 25 10 APPENDIX-STATEMENT Important Note: This radio module must not installed to co-locate and operat-
ing simultaneously with other radios in host system except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Additional testing and equipment authoriza-
tion may be required to operating simultaneously with other radio. The availability of some specic channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are rmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The rmware 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 certication. The nal 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 mini-
mum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and user body. This device have got a FCC ID: 2ANDL-WBR3L.The nal end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2ANDL-WBR3L 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. 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.
