3. Product Approvals
3.1. CE & FCC Approvals
The ETRX1 has been designed to meet all national regulations for World-wide use. It has been
tested and approved by a certified laboratory for RF Transmission, EMC and for general product
safety.
Using the integrated Antenna it conforms with EN300 440 (Europe) and FCC CFR 47 Part 15
(USA).
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.
FCC ID: S4GETRX1
Please Note:
The ETRX1 device carries FCC authorization and is marked with the FCC ID Number. Whilst any
device into which this authorized module is installed will not normally be required to obtain FCC
authorization, this does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing
may be required for the finished device.
When the ETRX1 module is integrated inside another device/product, then the outside surface of
that device/product must display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can
use wording such as “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: S4GETRX1” or “Contains FCC ID:
S4GETRX1” although any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
This module complies with the USA SAR requirements and is not intended to be operated with in
20cm of the body.
3.2. IEEE 802.15.4
IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for low data rate wireless networks (typically data rates of 250 kbps,
40 kbps, and 20 kbps) which focuses on low cost, low duty cycle, long primary battery life
applications as well as mains-powered applications. It is the basis for the open ZigBee™ Protocol.
3.3. The ZigBee™ Protocol
The ZigBee™ Protocol is a new set of standards for wireless connectivity between any devices
over short distances (100 metres). The specification was ratified in December 2004, paving the
way for companies to start making low-power networks a reality.
ZigBee™ uses an IEEE 802.15.4 radio specification running on the 2.4GHz band, plus three
additional layers for networking,
security, and applications. What makes the specification unique is
its use of a mesh network architecture which, in bucket chain style, passes data from one node to
the next until it lands at its endpoint.
