      4 1.0 N240D RF Module 1.1 Description The N240D is a low power wireless response keypad module. It has 14 available inputs, and two available outputs.  The N240D module is used to interact with an audience so they can provide real time feed back to questions.  It communicates at 2.4GHz, GFSK to a base station.  The base unit polls keypads, and displays result.  The overall operation of the N240D module is controlled by a microcontroller.  This microcontroller is powered from approximately 3V and uses a 16 MHz reference.  The microcontroller handles control of the RF communications and keypad inputs.   RF communications use the Nordic 2401A 2.4 GHz transceiver.  The Nordic chip uses a 16 MHz reference oscillator that is shared with the microcontroller for TX/RX and is also powered by 3V.  The Nordic transceiver uses an integral PCB inverted F antenna with a gain of approximately 3.6 dBi. 1.2 Keypad Battery Replacement Each keypad is powered from a single CR2032 Lithium Coin cell battery.  The battery is replaceable. To replace battery, slide out the old battery from its holder, and replace with a new battery noting its polarity.  The negative side of the battery should be facing the PCB. 1.3 FCC, IC, and EU Compliance Information  N240D RF Module Responsible Party Pertaining to the Declaration of Conformity    Fleetwood Group, Inc.  11832 James Street   Holland, MI  49424   Attn: Product Service Coordinator  Phone: 888-467-3759   1.4 Standards and Guidelines This device complies with the following European Directives and USA/Canada Regulations: ¾ Directive 1999/5/EC on radio equipment and telecommunication terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ¾ Directive 2006/95/EC on the harmonization of laws of member states related to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits ¾ The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations ¾ Industry Canada Rules and Regulations  This device complies with the following national and international standards: ¾ EN 301 489-1 V1.6.1: 2005: EMR; EMC standard for radio equipment and services.
