11 Product OverviewThe 9522A L-Band Transceiver (9522A) is designed to be integratedinto a specific application with other hardware and software to producea solution designed for a specific application or vertical market. Someexamples of these solutions include a maritime voice telephony terminalor a vehicle tracking solution.The 9522A functionally supports all of Iridium’s voice and data services.Applications can be built to use one or multiple services using the voiceand data interfaces. The 9522A is a functional replacement to the 9522“Sebring” L-Band Transceiver. However it should be noted that there aresome differences to the voice interface.The 9522A is regulatory approved for FCC, Canada, and CE. Thisallows the 9522A to be integrated into a variety of subscriber products,or retrofitted into existing L-Band Transceiver based products. Theseproducts, when integrated together will require Regulatory testing to beconducted by the integrator. Please note that the 9522A is onlyapproved for use with an antenna that has a gain of ≤3 dBi.The 9522A is essentially provided as a ‘black box’ with all interfacesprovided via a DB25 connector. The product provides the core trans-ceiver module and SIM card reader. All other functions and hardwaresuch as keypad, display, power supply, antenna etc. must be providedby the solution developer. The DB25 provides the following interfacesand connections:• Analog Audio• Control / Digital Audio• RS232• Power Input• On / Off2 Export Compliance InformationThis product is controlled by the export laws and regulations of theUnited States of America. The U.S. Government may restrict the exportor re-export of this product to certain individuals and/or destinations. Forfurther information, contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureauof Industry and Security or visit www.bis.doc.gov.3 Standards ComplianceThe 9522A is designed to comply with the standards for RadioEmissions Compliance, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and AC Safety inthe United States, European Union and Canada.3.1 FCC ComplianceThe 9522A is certified under 47 CFR Part 25 as FCC ID:Q639522AC.

54Table 2: 25-way connector pin-out4.3.2 Antenna ConnectorThe 9522A provides a single 50ȉ, TNC type antenna connector bothtransmit and receive.4.3.3 SIM Chip ReaderAn integrated SIM chip reader is provided on the 9522A. This connectorallows installation of the chip form of the SIM beneath a cover plate onthe 9522A housing.4.4 MountingThe 9522A incorporates (6) mounting holes on its bottom surface thatcan aid in its mounting. See Figure 3 for locations of these features. It isrecommended that a thread-forming screw be used to mount the 9522Avia these features. Particularly, a Textron Camcar® Taptite® II Thread-Rolling Fastener of M3.5x0.6 thread type is recommended. This fastenerhas a 15IP Torx Plus® pan head and is available in lengths of 6, 8, 12,16, and 20 mm as part number 3BE-P802-00, 3BE-P803-00, 3BE-P8185-00, 3BE-P804-00, 3BEP8186-00, and 3BE-P8187-00respectively. Length should be chosen to ensure that penetration intothe 9522A housing does not exceed 11 mm.If a 6-32 thread type is desired, a Textron Camcar® Taptite® II Thread-Rolling Fastener with a 15IP Torx Plus® pan head is available in lengthsof 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, and 1 inch as part number 3BE-P814-00,3BE-P8123-00, 3BE-P815-00, 3BE-P816-00, 3BE-P8124-00, 3BE-P817-00, and 3BE-P818-00 respectively. A 10IP Torx Plus® flat headversion is also available in a single length of 1/2 inch as part number3BE-P801-00. Another 6-32 thread type option is to insert a helical coilinsert with a 6-32 internal thread into these features thusaccommodating 6-32 threaded fasteners as mounting hardware for the9522A. National Aerospace Standard NASM122238 serves as atechnical reference for the recommended helical coil insert.Contact Signal Description1EXT_ON_OFF External connection for On / Off key input to 9522A2EXT_11HZ 90ms “frame sync” signal (used in testing)3EXT_GND Power Ground input to 9522A4EXT_PWR Power input to 9522A5SPKR_AUD Speaker audio output from 9522A6DA_TX PCM digital audio output from 9522A7DF_RI Data / Fax Ring Indication output from 9522A8DF_RTS Data / Fax Request to Send input to 9522A9DF_S_TX Data / Fax (UART) data input to 9522A10 DF_DCD Data / Fax Data Carrier Detect output from 9522A11 DA_FS PCM digital audio frame sync output from 9522A12 DA_CLK PCM digital 2.048MHz audio clock output from 9522A13 DF_S_RX Data / Fax data (UART) output from 9522A14 0V Signal ground, 0V signal reference and return15 MIC _AUD Microphone audio input to 9522A16 EXT_PWR Power input to 9522A17 EXT_GND Power Ground input to 9522A18 DPL_TX Digital Peripheral Link (UART) data output from 9522A19 DF_DTR Data / Fax Data Terminal Ready input to 9522A20* DPL_RX Digital Peripheral Link (UART) data input to 9522A21 DF_DSR Data / Fax Data Set Ready output from 9522A22 DF_CTS Data / Fax Clear to Send output from 9522A23 0V Signal ground, 0V signal reference and return24 DA_RX PCM digital audio input to 9522A25 0V Signal ground, 0V signal reference and return62425_user_guide 3/23/06 1:55 PM Page 4
544.5 Connector Sealing in Harsh EnvironmentsIf the 9522A is to be used in a harsh environment with exposure to highhumidity or water, the mating of the multi-interface connector must befurther sealed to protect from moisture entry. It is recommended that abead of RTV silicone sealant be placed on the connector mating to the9522A’s multi-interface connector where shown in Figure 6 below.
