2. Applications
The AIRRT42FH radio module can be used for the equipment that is installed in machinery .
This equipment must be xed on the machinery.
In addition to the above, this radio module cannot be installed:
-inside equipment that is portable by user
-in equipment that are intended for the use in environments requiring explosion-proof features or in any
usage situation that may pose the risk of explosion.
-in equipment for moving, raising and transporting people, if the Machine’s characteristics and
their related risks and/or the risks related to the use of a Radio Remote Control do not make it
possible for the Machine Manufacturer to ensure that all the safety requirements are met.
Such requirements must be taken into account when designing and manufacturing the Machine, also
bearing in mind that a radio module will be used. The Machine Manufacturer may allow the installation
and use of the radio module on such applications under their own responsibility.
-in equipment that create or can create dangerous situations if they stop due to the loss of radio link.
-in equipment that do not allow a risk-free installation of a radio module, due to their functions or features
and/or to the risks related to their use.
-if the applicable safety-related laws in the country where the Machine is used, regulations and stan-
dards (even local ones), even concerning safety in the workplace, do not allow the use of radio module
to control the Machines.
INSTALLATION OF AIRRT42FH RADIO MODULE IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED EQUIPMENT AND SI-
TUATIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

3. Functional description
The AIRRT42FH radio module is transceiver module and it is based on the commercial RFIC (Radio Fre-
quency Integrated Circuit) ADF7021 made by Analog Devices, which encompasses all the circuits and
functions needed to build a narrowband, high performance, UHF transceiver for digital signalling. See
Analog Devices’ website for a complete and up-to-date description of ADF7021.
It can operate on a wide range of frequencies with simple re-programming; this feature has allowed the
development of a dual-band radio, capable of communicating on 915-928MHz under north-american FCC
part 15.247 as well as on 863-870MHz under european EN300220 radio standards.
To prevent improper or illegal use of the dual-band feature, procedure for choosing of the frequency band
will not be disclosed to the nal user. It will be managed at Autec production site, or at an authorised tech-
nical service site, where trained personnel with adequate instrumentation will be able to choose and verify
the correct option for any specic geographical area.

5. Antenna
This radio module has been approved to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type,
are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Antenna external dedicated antenna provided by Autec
Antenna Type quater wavelength monopole
Antenna gain <= 2dBi
Antenna Impedance 50 ohm
Autec allows you to use only the dedicated antenna supplied either with the raio module or as original
spare part. The use of any other type of antenna is prohibited and will invalidate tdhe warranty.
Place the dedicated antenna in a position that ensures a minimum separation distance of 20cm from all
the people that can be in the working area.

6. Approval for US
6.1 FCC
This radio module complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two con-
ditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesira-
ble operation.
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by Autec could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The FCC ID for this radio module is OQA-AIRRT42FH.
6.2 FCC End Product Labeling
The AIRRT42FH module is labeled with its own FCC ID. If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is
installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also
display a label referring to the enclosed module.
In that case, the nal end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
-“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: OQA-AIRRT42FH”
-“Contains FCC ID: OQA-AIRRT42FH”

7. Approval for Canada
7.1 ISED
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the external dedicated an-
tenna. Other antenna types are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS standards. 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.
