COLORADO vNET APEX LT PRODUCT SUMMARY Product Description The Colorado vNet APEX LT module is a 2.4 GHz transceiver for integration in Colorado vNet’s proprietary home automation products. The module is based on the Ember EM260 network processor providing an IEEE 802.15.4 radio transceiver with a SPI base interface. The SPI interface gives the flexibility to choose the external microprocessor to best fit the application. Key Features • • • • • • • • • • • 100 mW output power Integrated antenna Supports MHF1 connector for external antenna 16 RF channels (Channel 16 at a reduced power level) Output power is software controlled AES-128 encryption Constant RF output power over operating voltage range of 2.1 – 3.6V Integrated IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC Dedicated network processor SPI-slave or UART interface to application microprocessor Handles all data processing and timing intensive tasks of ZigBee protocol Specifications Operating voltage range: RF Frequency range: RF Data rate: Nominal output power: Transmitter current: Receive current: Error Vector Magnitude: Receiver Sensitivity: 2.1 – 3.6 V 2400 – 2483.5 MHz 250 kbps 100 mW (20 dBm) 170 mA 37 mA 15% typical -96 dBm (1% PER) I/O Summary • • • Connection to the API is made over SPI to allow application development on host microprocessor. Two additional signals (nHOST_INT and nWAKE) provided for handshaking. Module is a slave device only. All transactions are initiated by the host. Page 1 of 3 Colorado vNet 29 November 2007 Compliance Statement (Part 15.19) 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. 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. FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b)) 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. RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65) 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 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Industry Canada Statement per Section 4.0 of RSP-100 The term "IC:" before the certification / registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Section 7.1.5 of RSS-GEN 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. Page 2 of 3 Colorado vNet 29 November 2007 OEM Responsibility to the FCC Rules and Regulations The Apex LT Module has been certified per FCC Part 15 rules for integration into Colorado vNet products without further testing or certification. To fulfill the FCC certification requirements Colorado vNet must ensure that the information provided on the Apex LT Label is placed on the outside of the final product. The Apex LT Module is labeled with its own FCC ID Number. 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: VOX-APEXLT” or “Contains FCC ID: VOX-APEXLT” Colorado vNet must only use the approved antenna, which has been certified with this module. Colorado vNet must test their final product configuration to comply with Unintentional Radiator Limits before declaring FCC compliance per Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
