.0 DESCRIPTION The Graco GNET FHSS RF Transceiver Module is a frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver capable of 2-way transportation of message packets in the 900 MHz ISM band. A standard serial interface operating at 3 volts CMOS levels is used to communicate with the host device. Exact protocol and messaging details are available in the Graco GNET FHSS RF Transceiver Module Host Interface Protocol document.
7.0 MOUNTING LOCATION In order to maintain compliance with the FCC modular certification it is necessary to mount the module in such a way that user is never closer than 20 cm to the antenna. The manual for end users of the product must contain a warning about the 20 cm separation as outlined in Section 10.0. Additionally, the transceiver may not be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter. 8.0 ANTENNAS Compliance with FCC regulations may only be maintained using the specified antennas.
9.0 LABELING REQUIREMENTS The FCC requires that the Part 15 statement be installed on the outside of the final product in a manner which allows it to be seen and read. The accepted statement and a sample label format are as follows: 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.
11.0 FCC NOTIFICATIONS The Graco GNET FHSS RF Transceiver Module generates radio frequency energy. It must be installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines or it has the potential to cause interference with other radio devices. Testing has been performed to assure that it conforms to the FCC Part 15 rules for intentional and unintentional radiators. No further EMI compliance testing of the transmitter is required as long as the 20 cm separation and co-location requirements are observed.
