ANTENNA
The Cortet Mini Modules include an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna certified for FCC & IC requirements.
An optional configuration which uses a castellation pin on the module allows the user to connect to an external antenna however
this implementation would require certification by the end user and may not use the CEL FCC ID number on the label. The PCB
antenna employs a topology that is compact and highly efficient. To maximize range, an adequate ground plane must be
provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host PCB will contribute significantly to the antenna
performance.
For optimum antenna performance, the Cortet Mini Module should be mounted with the PCB trace antenna overhanging the
edge of the host board and ideally in the upper left corner of the host board so that free space is left of the module as opposed to
additional pcb and components. To further improve performance, a ground plane may be placed on the host board under the
module, up to the antenna but not extending under the antenna (a minimum of 1.5" x 1.5" is recommended). The installation of
an uninterrupted ground plane on a layer directly beneath the module will also allow traces to be routed under the layer. Refer to
the application note Mini Modules Hardware Design Guidelines for more details. CEL can assist with your PCB layout.
The following are some design guidelines to help ensure optimal antenna performance:
• The antenna portion of the Mini Module should hang over the host board so that there is not any additional
PCB under the antenna.
• Never place the antenna close to metallic objects
• In the final assembly, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna
• Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure
• Keep plastic enclosures a minimum of 1cm away from the antenna in any direction
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et
d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Pb-Free Solder Paste
Use of “No Clean” soldering paste is strongly recommended, as it does not require cleaning after the soldering process.
Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations ("half vias") where they contact the host board should meet the
appropriate IPC Specification. See the Castellated Terminations Section in the latest IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic
Assemblies document.
Cleaning
In general, cleaning the populated module is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with
any cleaning process.
• Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host
board and the module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits
between neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will likely flood soldering flux residuals into the two
housings, which is not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently.
The best approach is to consider using a “No Clean” solder paste and eliminate the post-soldering cleaning step.
Optical Inspection
After soldering the module to the host board, consider optical inspection to check the following:
• Proper alignment and centering of the module over the pads
• Proper solder joints on all pads
• Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring pads or vias
Repeating Reflow Soldering
Only a single reflow soldering process is encouraged for host boards.

PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
ZB3212F6R4SP2
Wave Soldering
If a wave soldering process is required on the host boards due to the presence of leaded components, only a single wave soldering
process is encouraged.
Hand Soldering
Hand soldering is possible. When using a soldering iron, follow IPC recommendations (reference document IPC-7711).
Rework
The Cortet module can be unsoldered from the host board. Use of a hot air rework tool should be programmable and the solder
joint and module should not exceed the maximum peak reflow temperature of 250ºC.
Caution
If temperature ramps exceed the reflow temperature profile, module and component damage may occur due to thermal shock.
Avoid overheating.
Warning
Never attempt a rework on the module itself (i.e., replacing individual components); such actions will terminate warranty coverage.
Additional Grounding
Attempts to improve the module or the system grounding by soldering braids, wires or cables onto the module RF shield cover is
done at the customer's own risk. The ground pins at the module perimeter should be sufficient for optimum immunity to external
RF interference.

To comply with FCC/IC 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 operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
OEM Responsibility to the FCC and IC Rules and Regulations
The Cortet Mini Module has been certified per FCC Part 15 Rules and to Industry Canada license exempt RSS Standards for
integration into products without further testing or certification. To fulfill the FCC and IC certification requirements, the OEM of the
Cortet Module must ensure that the information provided on the Cortet label is placed on the outside of the final product. The
Cortet Mini Module is labeled with its own FCC ID number and IC ID number. If the FCC ID and the IC ID are 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. The exterior label can use wording such as the following
“Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: W7Z-WB4343S”
“Contains Transmitter Module IC: 8254A-WB4343S"
The OEM of the Cortet Mini Module may only use the approved antennas (PCB Trace Antenna) that have been certified with this
module. The OEM of the Cortet Mini Module must test their final product configuration to comply with Unintentional Radiator
Limits before declaring FCC Compliance per Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
IC Certification — Industry Canada Statement
The term "IC" before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were
