Reproduction by any means, electronic or mechanical, and distribution to third parties without express written permission from CSI is not permitted. 11 GGEETTTTIINNGG SSTTAARRTTEEDD 1.1. 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

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 Commission’s 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 ensure compliance, operations at closer distances than this are not recommended.” 1.4. FCC Labeling Requirements When integrating the CIMCON’s 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 CIMCON’s 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.

Power Settings for Regulatory Compliance Because of the high gain of the frontend module output power of up to 24dBm can be achieved When the antenna gain is included then the output power of the EM357 transceivers needs to be reduced for regulatory compliance. The following tables list the maximum permitted power setting for the different antenna types listed. This is the power out of the EM357 chip, and the power delivered to the antenna will be higher by the gain of the PA. settxpower P (set the channel power) UFL Antenna Unit • Channel 11: P = -5 [dBm] • Channel 18: P = -5 [dBm] • Channel 25: P = -7 [dBm] Fixed Antenna Unit • Channel 11: P = -3 [dBm] • Channel 18: P = -3 [dBm] • Channel 25: P = -3 [dBm]

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
