3 Radio Interface Specifications
3.1 Introduction
The following section describes the radio specifications for the ZRM10 Radio Module. The design
utilizes an Ember EM250 ZigBee System-on-a-chip (SoC) to provide wireless connectivity using the IEEE
802.14.5a protocol. The EM250 is connected to an external RF power amplifier which boosts the
transmitted RF signal power to 100mW (Typ).

3.4 Radio Transmitter Specifications
The RF transmitter power is +20dBm (100mW) for the Channels 11 through 25. Due to
requirements specified in FCC Regulations (Part 15, Restricted Frequency Bands), the RF transmit power is
reduced for Channel 26 (2480 MHz).

4.0 Regulatory Requirements (FCC and IC)
The Energate ZRM10 Radio Module device complies with FCC (Part 15) and Industry Canada (RS-
210) regulatory requirements. Operation of the ZRM10 is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
The Energate ZRM10 Radio Module can be integrated into a variety of different products. With this
in mind, the ZRM10 has obtained Full Modular Approval from both the FCC and IC. This approval means
that the ZRM10 is designed in such a way that it is a self-contained entity. The ZRM10 can then be attached
to ANY product without any further testing by the FCC or IC for (radio) regulatory compliance in the 2400-
2483.5MHz band.
4.1 RF Exposure Warning
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This device must be installed in accordance with the provided instructions and must be
operated with minimum 20 cm spacing between the antennas and any person’s body during wireless mode
of operation. Further, this transmitter must not be collocated and operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
4.2 Labelling Requirements
When integrating the Energate ZRM10 Radio Module into other products, the following
requirements must be met:
1. Use only the antenna provided.
2. Operate the module according to the specifications listed in this User Manual.
3. Include a label clearly visible on the exterior of the end product which states:
Contains
FCC ID: WUR
-
ZRM10
IC ID: 8022A
-
ZRM10
NOTE: It is mandatory that end users of the Energate ZRM10 consult all FCC and IC documentation for use of
a product with modular approval, and ensure any products comply with all listed guidelines and additional
testing that may be required.
