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.
You can enable command mode using the sequence +++.

10 End device labeling instructions
FCC notes for all hosts devices. 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.
