With its small form factor and extremely low power consumption, the LS-WIFI8688 is perfect for mobile wireless applications such as asset monitoring, GPS tracking, and battery sensors. The WiFl module incorporates a 2.4-GHz radio, processor, TCP/IP stack, crypto accelerator, power management, and analog sensor interfaces. The module is preloaded with software to simplify integration and minimize application development. In the simplest configuration, the hardware requires only four connections (PWR, TX, RX, and GND) to create a wireless data connection. Additionally, the sensor interface provides temperature, audio, motion, acceleration, and other analog data without requiring additional hardware. The module is programmed and controlled with a simple ASCII command language. Once the module is set up, it can scan to find an access point, associate, authenticate, and connect over any Wi-Fi network. 2.2 Overview ■ Host data rate up to 1 Mbps for the UART

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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 reasonable 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 determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 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. For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which OEM integrates this module. The integration of this RF Module is limited to host devise, where the module with it's onboard hasminimum separation distance of 10mm to the human body. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT: In the users manual of the end product, The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied. The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19statement is required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of 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. LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT: The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: RR3-LS8688 ". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.
The device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: (1) According to FCC Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.212, the radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. However, due to there is no shielding for this WIFI module, the integrator has to perform radiated measurements of the host device with the integrated WIFI module to assure compliance with the FCC regulations. (2) According to FCC Part 15 Subpart C Section 15.212, the radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own power supply. However, due to there is no own power supply for this WIFI module, the host device must support the module with a stable 3.3V voltage power. As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.
