1 Introduction

This document provide integration instructions and should be used when integrating a module in a host

product. The full modular transmitter RFM-2-NF can be integrated into a variety of products. The neces-

sary steps for a correct integration and necessary testing are described in this document based on the

document “GUIDANCE FOR MODULAR TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUALS AND TCB CERTI-

FICATION APPLICATION REVIEWS” from February 1, 2019.

2 Integration instructions

2.1 Mounting of the board, connecting to PC

The integration into B&R products, but also into OEM products or private label products produced by B&R

must be done by trained B&R stuff only. Typical electronic manufacturing environment recommended.

The

B&R wireless board RFM-2-NF may be glued, screwed or positioned with other mounting methods

(e.g. clips) on the touch screen, the display, plastic parts or any other surfaces inside the host. The an-

tenna is part of the board, so no additional mounting steps, adjusting, settings or testing is necessary.

The wireless board is then connected by a USB-cable with a Standard-USB-Connector to a PC on one of

its standard USB jacks. Because of using a standard USB interface no additional requirements on safety,

grounding, functionality and reliability of the connection must be taken into account. No testing required.

To operate the wireless board RFM-2-BTW, the appropriate driver must be installed. These drivers can

be found on the B&R homepage https://www.br-automation.com/.

For the combination of host and RFM-2-NF no further RF-testing in respect to national rules is necessary,

so there is no need that the host manufacturers do further RF-testing. Depending on the type of host and

its marking indicating EMC-compliance, it may be necessary that EMC compliance of the host with inte-

grated RFM-2-NF is verified. This is under the responsibility of the host manufacturer.

No additional marking of the B&R wireless board RFM-2-NF necessary.
