If the end product will involve the Multiple simultaneously transmitting condition or different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter, manufacturer have to consult with module manufacturer for the installation method in end system. 1) According to the following requirements of the power supply, power up, about 3 seconds to complete the initial. 2) iphone/Android mobile phone WIFI function to open, search to the corresponding Wireless network adapter name (name can be changed according to customer production requirements), click the name of the WIFI and select the connection. 3) open application software (need to install the company's specific application software development, application software interface can be customized according to customer's product requirements), click on the interface to see the scene. 5.3 Trace antenna designs Please perform the Trace antenna design that followed the specifications of the antenna. The concrete contents of a check are the following three points. 1) It is the same type as the antenna type of antenna specifications. Confirm the same size as the Gerber file. 2) An antenna gain is lower than a gain given in antenna specifications. Measure the gain, and confirm the peak gain is less than the application value. 3) The emission level is not getting worse. Measure the spurious, and confirm degradation of less than 3dB than spurious value of worst of report used for the application. Please refer to the following figure for antenna information. 5.4 RF exposure considerations This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. 5.5 Antennas Antenna Specification are as follows:
Type: External dipole antenna*2 Gain: 2dBi(Max.) This device is intended only for manufacturers under the following conditions: The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna; The module shall be only used with RLW 15 the internal antenna(s) that has been originally tested and certified with this module. The antenna must be either permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler. As long as the conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the manufacturer is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.) Important Note:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. 5.6 Label and compliance information The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following" Contains FCC ID:
2ADGH-6311 ". 5.7 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements Manufacturer is strongly recommended to confirm compliance with FCC requirements for the transmitter when the module is installed in the end product. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from persons body. When the end product is a portable device, it is necessary to take a SAR test with your set mounting this module. Class II permissive change application is necessary using the SAR report. Please contact Murata
(Aftersaleservice12@outlook.com). And an application for a Class II permissive change from a Mobile equipment to a Portable equipment is also required. Note) Portable equipment : Equipment for which the spaces between human body and antenna are used within 20cm. Mobile equipment : Equipment used at position in which the spaces between human body and antenna exceeded 20cm. 5.8 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and the end product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the end product not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final end product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed. Note EMI Considerations:
Note that a manufacture is recommended to use KDB 996369 D04 Module Integration Guide recommending as "best practice" RF design engineering testing and evaluation in case non-linear interactions generate additional non-compliant limits due to module placement to components or 16 RLW properties. For standalone mode, reference the guidance in D04 Module Integration Guide and for simultaneous mode7; see D02 Module Q&A Question 12, which permits the manufacturer to confirm compliance. How to make changes:
When changing from the conditions of approval, please present technical documentation that it is equivalent to a Class I change. For example, when adding or changing an antenna, the following technical documents are required. 1) The document indicating the same type as the original antenna 2) Technical document showing that the gain is the same with the gain at the time of the original approval. If the antenna gain is lower than the antenna gain value compared with the original approval, a class II permissive change should be followed. 3) Technical document showing that the radiated emissions level is no more than the worse value than when it was originally certified. 6 Appendix 1-Quick Installation Guide 6.1 Install Drivers Insert the CD and open the directory.
