Do not drink any alcohol or take any drugs while using the module and follow the saftey instructions carefully! ATTENTION The utilization of non-approved components can lead to the destruction of the device. 4 Installation of the components The printed circuit board is attached to the four fixing holes in the application. The associated HF cable (length 100mm) is fixed to the application housing using the SMA socket and the associated fixing nut. One of the approved antennas (see Chap 5.4) is screwed onto the SMA socket. The HF cable’s U.FL connector is inserted onto the X4 connector on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is connected to the host system via the X1 or X2 connector. ATTENTION Unintended use of the interfaces should be avoided. ATTENTION All components must be disposed of properly at the end of their technical lifetime. 4.1 Example for installation The SMA connector has to be mounted on top of a ground plane.

160701-AU01_Operating_instructions _V1.4_en.doc 7 / 13 6 Functional description The data to be sent is transmitted from the host via the RS232 interface to the “X1310-ISM-Transceiver-915MHz” module and then GFSK modulated and transmitted by this module via the transmission level and antenna to a receiver module of the same type. This module is intended for the frequency range 902.000 – 928.00MHz. The frequency range is divided into 32 channels with a respective channel spacing of 750KHz (see Chap.7: USA/Canada frequency table 915MHz). The module can be configured via the RS232 interface using commands (see Chap. 6.2: Control commands in command mode, or Chap. 6.3: Control commands in data mode). 6.1 Control commands and telegrams Firstly, a common frequency from the frequency table in Chap. 7 is defined for all radio devices. The host checks whether the radio channel is available (LBT, Listen Before Talk). If this condition is met, data or acknowledgement telegrams are transmitted, after a random delay, via the RS232 interface to the X1310 transceiver, starting with an <STX>, followed by the <Data> and ending with an <ETB>. Based on the <STX> received, the transceiver now switches on the HF carrier and, first of all, transmits a preamble and SYNC sign. The sequence previously received via the interface is then sent <STX>, <Data>, <ETB>. The <ETB> switches the HF carrier off again in the end. The length of a telegram is limited by the settable transmission timeout (see “Control commands in command mode” table under STO1..99) in order to not block the remaining infrastructure. The function is as follows on the receiving side: The receiver in X1310 continuously searches for the SYNC signs. If detected, the data received below is transmitted via the RS232 interface to the host up to the <ETB>. If determined that the HF carrier is interrupted, the receipt is also terminated. The RF signal is GFSK modulated with a frequency deviation of ±14 kHz and a data rate of 19.2 kbit/s. The modulation parameters are fully determined by the internal register settings of the CC1310 radio IC and are independent on the signal at the interface. Together with the antennas listed in the user manual (5.4), the transmission power is below the limits given under §15.249 of CFR47. 6.2 Control commands in command mode After a reset, the set baud rate is output on the interface at 38400,N,8,1.

The end device must be labeled with: Contains FCC ID: O2F-X1310TC915“ Contains IC: 9137A-X1310TC915 Labelling Requirements In addition following statement shall be placed on the device:
160701-AU01_Operating_instructions _V1.4_en.doc 12 / 13 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. Where the product is so small or for such use that it is not practicable to place the statement on it, the statement can be placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual. Information to the user - For Class A devices the manual of the host shall include the following statement: NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. - For Class B devices the manual of the host shall include the following statement: Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 deter-mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: --Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. --Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. --Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. --Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modification of equipment The instruction manual of the host shall include the following statement: Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. Special accessories Where special accessories such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device. Final Compliance of end product The integrator is responsible for the final compliance of the end product including this certified transmitter module. CFR 47 §15.101 give guidance in terms of applicable equipment authorization procedures of different end-products. Typically compliance to subpart 15 B (§15.107 and 15.109) Class A or B including verification of the subpart 15 C compliance (field strength of fundamental and out-of-band emissions) of the transmitter parameters apply.
160701-AU01_Operating_instructions _V1.4_en.doc 13 / 13 Simultaneous transmission When the host product supports simultaneous-transmission operations the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required (e. g. if the X1310-ISM-Transceiver-915MHz module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required please contact the person at ACD Gruppe responsible for certification of the X1310-ISM-Transceiver-915MHz module.
