2. OverviewDesign Notes10 Q58 OEM Manual © 2014 Exegin Technologies LimitedDesign NotesHost The Q58 requires only a power supply and SPI bus connection to operate. Conditioning circuitry prevents host power supply noise from adversely affecting radio performance. Nevertheless, good design and layout practices will insure optimum performance. Keep power and signal traces connected to the Q58 separated from noisy clocks and fast-transition signals. Switching power supplies with switching frequencies above 500kHz are optimal. Power supply ripple should be 100mV or less. Connections to power pins should be wider than signal pins and appropriate for the maximum current.Antenna Location Position approved antennas away from any ground planes or metal components.

Q58 Regulatory informationRadio Frequency Notifications3Q58 REGULATORY INFORMATIONIntroductionRF modules like the Q58 are intended for original equipment manufacturers who wish to add a wireless interface to their products without incurring the cost of regulatory testing as an intentional radiator. To market products in different parts of the world, OEMs must comply with rules established by different regulatory agencies as follows.Radio Frequency NotificationsFCCNotifications Q58 802.15.4 SPI Modules comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. To fulfill FCC Certification requirements, the OEM must comply with the following regulations:1. The Q58 must be labelled with its own FCC ID number and, 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.2. Only the tested and approved antennas listed in Table ?? may be used with the module.OEM Labeling Requirements WARNING: The OEM must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the final product enclosure that displays the contents shown in Figure 1.Figure 1— FCC Labeling RequirementNotices IMPORTANT: The Q58 is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the Q58.Contains FCC ID: VQ458Q3Contains IC ID: 7162A-58Q3The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (i) this device may not cause harmful interference and (ii) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
12 Q58 OEM Manual © 2014 Exegin Technologies Limited3. Q58 Regulatory informationRadio Frequency NotificationsIMPORTANT: The Q58 has been certified by the FCC for use with other products without any further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not expressly approved by Exegin could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.IMPORTANT: OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section 15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.IMPORTANT: The Q58 has been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the Q58 is used in a portable device, where the antenna can be less than 20 cm from the human body when the device is operational, the system integrator is responsible for passing additional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on FCC rules 2.1091 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin and Supplement C. Testing results must be submitted to the FCC for approval prior to selling the integrated unit.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 or more of the following measures: Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, Connect equipment and receiver to outlets on different circuits, or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Antennas The antennas in Table 1 have been tested and approved for use:RF Exposure The following must be included as a warning statement in OEM product manuals to alert users to FCC RF exposure compliance.WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more must be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Table 1 — Tested and Approved AntennasManufacturer Part Number Type GainTyco 2118059-1 PCB Trace, Adhesive Mount 4 dBi
13 Q58 OEM Manual © 2014 Exegin Technologies Limited3. Q58 Regulatory informationRadio Frequency NotificationsIndustry CanadaLabeling Requirements WARNING: The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that Industry Canada labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the final product enclosure that displays the contents shown in Figure ??. System integrators must also ensure its product complies with Industry Canada’s ICES-003 & FCC Part 15, Sub. B - Unintentional Radiators. Approved Antenna To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below in Table 1, and having a maximum gain of 4 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 4 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.ETSIIf the Q58 is incorporated into a product, the OEM must ensure compliance of the final product to the European harmonized EMC and low-voltage/safety standards. A Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of these standards and kept on file as described in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.Furthermore, the manufacturer must maintain a copy of the Q58 user manual documentation and ensure the final product does not exceed the specified power ratings, antenna specifications, and/or installation requirements as specified in the user manual. If any of these specifications are exceeded in the final product, a submission must be made to a notified body for compliance testing to all required standards. Labeling RequirementsThe ‘CE’ marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product. The CE mark shall consist of the initials “CE” as follows:• If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above graduated drawing must be respected.• The CE marking must have a height of at least 5 mm except where this is not possible on account of the nature of the device• The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.Restrictions Power Output: In Europe the Q58 must operate at or below a transmit power output of 10 dBm. To meet this requirement, customers can either adjust the transmit power of the standard Q58 (P/N 98-058-012) or order the European version of the Q58 (P/N 98-058-014). European regulations also require an EIRP power maximum of ??.? dBm (?? mW) for the Q58.France: Outdoor use is limited to 10mW EIRP within the 2454-2483.5MHz band.
