1. Operator Interface Overview
The Operator Interface is part of the Innovation First Robotics Control System. The Operator Interface
Modem receives commands and data from the Operator Interface Controller (OI). It communicates via
radio frequency with the Robot Controller (RC) via the Robot Controller radio.

2. Installation
The Operator Interface may be used in any orientation. For best communication with the Robot
Controller radio, it is suggested the radio and antenna be mounted in a vertical orientation away from
metal. Size and mounting information is available at www.InnovationFirst.com.
3. Theory of Operation
The Operator Interface connects to the Operator Interface Controller (OI) via a shielded DB9 cable.
The OI supplies power, ground and control information to command the Operator Interface to transmit
to and receive from the Robot Controller radio. Radio communications is over the 902 – 928 MHz ISM
band.
The Operator Interface Controller to Operator Interface communication is controlled by imbedded
software in the Operator Interface Controller and Operator Interface. No user software is required. To
establish an OI to RC connection, refer to FRC Control System Overview and Quick Start
documentation available at www.InnovationFirst.com.

4. FCC / Industry Canada Certification and Warnings
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for radio controlled devices,
pursuant to applicable portions of FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada RSS-210 for license-exempt (i.e.
unlicensed) low-power radiocommunication devices. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.”
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
Note: 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:
—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.
