1 Introduction This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and manufacturing a system utilizing the Open-QTM 626 SOM Transmitter Module. Failing to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the FCC and IC (Industry Canada) certifications and authorizations of the Module for use in the U.S. and Canada. The Module certifications described in this document apply only to radio conformance for the Module.
2: Applicable Module 2 Applicable Module Model USA/FCC CANADA/IC Open-QTM 626 SOM 2AFDI-ITCOQ626S 9049A-ITCOQ626S Open-Q 626 SOM Module Certification OEM Integrator Guide 6
3: Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator 3 Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or Submissions Required by the Integrator • The modular certifications apply to the radio conformance for the Module only. The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC and Product Safety testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries to the host system containing the Module.
4: Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings 4 Compliant/Allowable Tx Power Settings Any adjustments made to increase transmit power settings will invalidate all radio certifications for this module.
5: Allowable Antennas to use with the Radio Module 5 Allowable Antennas to use with the Radio Module The module is certified for use with certain antennas as described in this section. Allowed Antenna Types: 1. Dipole antenna Table 1 Allowed Maximum Gain (dBi) Dipole, Including Cable Loss 2.4~2.5GHz 3.32 4.9~5.8GHz 6.11 The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
6: Antenna Placement and RF Safety 6 Antenna Placement and RF Safety The FCC and other countries’ regulatory bodies impose strict conditions and limitations on the RF exposure levels of end products. Acceptable RF exposure levels for this Module depend on transmit power, the location of the transmitting antenna(s) inside the host system and the expected separation of the transmitting antennas to the end user.
7: Simultaneous Transmission with other Integrated or Plug-in Radios 7 Simultaneous Transmission with other Integrated or Plug-in Radios The FCC and IC impose conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located in the same host system as the Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. Co-locating other radios such as an integrated or plug in Wireless WAN/cellular radio with the Module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the FCC and IC.
8: Module May Not Be Installed by End Users 8 Module May Not Be Installed by End Users FCC and IC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of the radio modules.
9: Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host 9 Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host 9.1 FCC Labeling Requirements on the Outside of the Host The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example wording is: Contains: FCC ID: 2AFDI-ITCOQ626S IC: 9049A-ITCOQ626S The FCC requires a logo signifying emission compliance on the outside of the host system.
9: Required Labeling on the Outside of the Host End Product Labeling The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following for the Open-QTM 626 SOM: Contains IC: 9049A-ITCOQ626S. Plaque signalétique du produit final Le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit visible avec l'inscription suivante: Open-QTM 626 SOM: Contient des IC: 9049A-ITCOQ626S.
10: Required Labeling on the Module 10 Required Labeling on the Module 10.1 FCC and Industry Canada Labeling on the Module The OEM integrator must ensure that the FCC ID and IC number is affixed on the Module or in a User/Installation Manual along with other country certification numbers and logos as described herein. Note: the original Module manufacturer may affix regulatory labeling at time of Module manufacturing.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual 11 Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual 11.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual However there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual (iii) le gain maximal d'antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant la bande 5725·5825 MHz) doit se conformer â la limite de p.i.r.e. spêcifiêe pour l'exploitation point à point et non point â point, selon le cas. (iv) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisês que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont dêsignês utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d .
11: Required Regulatory Wording for End User Manual / Installation Manual Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met, then the Canadian authorization is no longer considered valid and the IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canada authorization.
12: OEM Integrator Checklist 12 OEM Integrator Checklist The OEM Integrator will integrate the Module in the host systems in accordance with the instruction specified in this document and the documents referenced herein. The OEM Integrator will ensure the Module is integrated in a host system using only antennas that are of the same type and having equal or less antenna gain as described in this document.
