Background
The 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 radio module is intended for installation in wireless
streetlight controls applications. The module has onboard regulated 3.3Vdc
supply.
The module assembly comes with two different antennas; Laid MAF95310 Mini
NanoBlade Flex with the gain of 2.79 dBi @ 2.4 GHz and 3.38 dBi @ 5 GHz, and
Laird DCF5151C-FNM 1dBi @ 2.4GHz and 2.4 dBi at 5.0GHz.
Each variant is physically and electrically identical except for the antenna
implementation.
Caution: the module assembly may not be used with other antenna types or with
antennas of higher gain.

users).
1. Overview of the Radio Modem Hardware
The 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 modem is an 802.11 wireless module that allows
wireless communication using a standard asynchronous serial data stream. The
main features of the 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 radio modem are presented in the
figures below. FCC ID label will be applied to the shield at a later date.

Functional Block Diagram of the 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 Module
The 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 radio module consists of three functional entities:
1. Transceiver section – processor, RF transceiver
2. RF section – BALUNs, RF PA, RF filters, RF switch
3. Non-volatile storage – EEPROM
A table of the radio modem pins is provided below, describing the purpose and
functionality of the pins and the max voltage range on the pins. Pin-out is

2. Operation of the 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 Radio Modem
Communication with the 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 radio modem happens through
serial port. The baud rate is set to be 115200, 8N1.
2.1. Getting started
Open an instance of terminal software on a serial port with the above settings
and connect to the RF modem. Any command is single line followed by enter
command. Format of command is: command param1 param2 … <enter> At
startup pushing the enter key a few times is necessary until the reception of the
prompt string.
This device is always a WIFI client. The device will scan for AP starting from
channel 1 to 11 then it will continue on 5GHz band. The default key and
password is: XeraL2/kentspeed. This can be change after the device is
connected.

Omni, max gain: 2.4 dBi
4. RF Exposure Limit Warning
To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled
exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Pour se conformer aux limites d'exposition aux RF pour la population générale /
incontrôlée l'exposition, l'antenne (s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur doit être

2ADCB -ACWIFI001 Frequency Selection
The 2ADCB -ACWIFI001 can select an unoccupied portion of the spectrum at
startup. The module also uses DFS to avoid interfering with Radar signal in 5
GHz to 5.8 GHz band. The series uses a set of channels as defined by the IEEE
802.15.11 / standards which span a range from 2405 to 2475 MHz and 5170
MHz to 5825MHz. See below for the list of between channels:

The channel mask is the name used to describe the list of frequency channels
that a radio can use. The default channel mask for client radios allows them to
operate on any frequency from 2405 to 2475 MHz and 5180MHz to 5825 MHz.
6. Warning (Part 15.21)
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
7. Manufacturability
The manufacturer must follow the exact Gerber files that provided with the
module. Any deviation is not acceptable. No change is allowed in TX, RX,
Microprocessor and power supply portion of the module with the exception of the
GPS module can be added or removed according to the need. The FCC label will
go on the back of the PCB.
8. Compliance Statements (Industry Canada)
IC – Canada. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(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. (3) this device meets RF exposure compliance of radio communication.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicablesaux
appareils radio exempts de licence.L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux

shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for
point-to-point and non-point-to-point operation as appropriate (see antenna
information above).
Be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority
users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars
could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
9. LABELING
Notice: the final product into which the module is installed must bear a visible
label stating that the product “contains FCC ID: 2ADCB-ACWIFI001” and
“contains IC: 6715A-ACWIFI001.”
