PA0053 Technical User Manual
1 Introduction
The Device Solutions PA0053 Transceiver Board is based on a Semtech SX1276 Low Power Long Range
Multiband RF Transceiver. The PA0053 card has Modular approval under FCC Part 15, Subpart C and
applicable Industry Canada RSSs. This document summarizes the requirements for integrating the
PA0053 into additional products.
2 Regulatory Requirements
To conform to the modular approval, the integration must conform to the following:
1. There must be no changes to the antenna system.
2. There must be no changes to the remainder of the module.
3. Unless the product is smaller than palm sized, it shall be labeled “Contains FCC ID: OXW-
PA0053” per FCC requirements.
4. Unless the product is smaller than palm sized, it shall be labeled “Contains IC: 10572A-PA0053”
per IC requirements.
5. All integrations must conform to applicable RF exposure limits and associated usage conditions
for installation type (fixed, portable, mobile).
6. The user manual shall include the following text:
This device uses RF energy to communicate. To reduce RF Exposure, this device must be installed in a manner to ensure
a 20cm separation is maintained between the devices antenna and the body of the user or nearby people.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs.
Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) The device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) The device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
This product has been tested and complies with the specifications 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
according to 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 is found 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 or devices
•Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver's
•Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.

4 Example Host Product Assembly Instructions
4.1 Screw PCB to enclosure
- #4-20 3/10 inch T10 Screws (HW0016)
- PA0053 PCB, Qty. = 1
Be sure to label the PA0053 PCB with the PA level number sticker.
Using four #4 screws that are 3/10 inch long T10 screws, secure the PA0053 PCB to the lower four screw
mounts in the enclosure (shown below). The PCB should be placed in the enclosure with the wire gland
pointing to the right and the PCB antenna pointed north (shown below). Be sure to tighten the screws so
that the PCB cannot move freely.
