1 Introduction
The XPD900 transceiver module is not sold as a stand-alone device. The XPD900 module is a subassembly
intended for use inside Eaton host products. This manual provides information regarding the integration
of the module with host products. The XPD900 radio module has been certified for the FCC and ISED as a
portable single-modular transmitter. The XPD900 PCB revision 5 radio module has the FCC ID: IA9XPD900A
and the ISED certification number: 1338B-XPD900A.
2 List of Applicable FCC and ISED Rules
The following FCC rules are applicable to the transmitter: FCC Title 47 CFR Subpart C Part 15.203, Part
15.247, Part 15.205(a), Part 15.209(a).
The following ISED rules are applicable to the transmitter: RSS-Gen Section 7.1.2, RSS-247 Issue 2
(5.1)(a),(b), and (c), RSS-Gen Issue 5 (8.9), (8.10), RSS-210.
3 Specific Operational Use Conditions
The radio module may be used with the antenna that were certified with the module.
4 Limited Module Procedure
There aren’t limiting conditions on the module that require a host device to remedy. The radio module
meets all the eight requirements in FCC Part 15.212(a)(1) for modular approval.
5 Trace Antenna Designs
The radio module was certified with antennas that utilized trace design. Trace design is RF traces on the
and passive matching components between the module and the radiating element located on the host
device PCB. The module does not have a trace antenna radiating element, it only has the trace design as
part of the antenna. To replicate the trace design from a host product that was used to certify an
antenna type the parts list, layout information, antenna, connectors can be derived from internal
documentation referenced from the host device part numbers provided in the antenna discussion in
section 8.
The trace designs were verified by the EMC test lab during the module certification with multiple
antenna types.
New host products that utilize the same trace deign will have the RF path verified through review of the
existing ECAD files, the BOM parts will be confirmed against the trace design, and by checking
impedance.
For manufacturing testing refer to internal test plans for how the RF trace design path is verified on host
products.
