2 28170 RF Module Overview
This RF module is Bluetooth® v4.1, Low Energy (LE) compliant, and is based on the
CSR1010A05 System on a Chip (SOC) made by Cambridge Silicon Radio. This part
supports single mode, Bluetooth® Smart applications. Three LEDs are incorporated
(Green, Yellow and Red) and are driven by the CSR1010 SOC. An SPI serial interface
plus one GPIO is made available at the interface connector J1. The supply voltage also
comes from J1. The circuit is fabricated with a two layer PCB, and has a shield over all
of the RF components (except the antenna). This module includes an integrated helical
trace antenna (printed on both sides).

2.5 Module Mounting Considerations
The 28170 RF module is intended to mount on the inside of a front or end panel. This is
preferred to allow the LEDs to be visible, and keeps the antenna located behind an
opening or plastic material to allow for good RF emission. The module has a single
connector (J1) that allows for board-to-board interfacing or for using a cable to another
board. The mating connector (through hole type) is listed in the following table.

Part No.

A plastic enclosure is recommended for best RF range. If using a metal enclosure, the
antenna should be kept clear of metal for at least 1.5 inches in all directions, if possible.
Nylon standoffs and fasteners are recommended for mounting the module to the housing.
3 Agency Certifications
3.1 United States (FCC)
The Model 28170 modules comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations.
Compliance with the labeling requirements, FCC notices and antenna usage guidelines is
required. In order to comply with FCC Certification requirements, the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must fulfill the following requirements.
1. The system integrator must place an exterior label on the outside of the final
product housing the 28170 BTM Module. Figure 3-1 below shows the contents
that must be included in this label.
2. 28170 BTM Modules may only be used with the antenna that has been tested
and approved for use with this module.
3.1.1 OEM Labeling Requirements
NOTE: The OEM must make sure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This
includes a clearly visible exterior label on the outside of the final product housing that
displays the contents shown in Figure 3-1 below.

BRAND NAME or TRADE NAME
Contains FCC ID: OBH-28170
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Figure 3-1 – FCC Label
NOTE: If the device is smaller than the palm of your hand and this will not fit on a label,
the last line is allowed to go into the user’s manual instead.
3.1.2 FCC Notices
WARNING: The 28170 modules have been tested by the FCC for use with other
products without further certification (as per FCC Section 2.1091). Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: OEM's must verify final end product to comply with unintentional radiators
(FCC Section 15.107 and 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to
Part 15 of the FCC rules.
NOTE: The 28170 modules have been certified for remote and base radio applications.
If the module will be used for portable applications, the device must undergo the
applicable SAR testing.
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
Document:
User's Manual
Title: Last Saved:
28170 Bluetooth® LE Module 8/19/2016 5:22:00 PM

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.
NOTE: The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM
product manuals, in order to alert users of FCC RF Exposure compliance.
NOTE: This transmitter must not be co-located with any other transmitters
except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures
NOTE: This filing meets the SAR threshold exclusion set forth in KDB 447498
and therefore can be used in mobile/portable configurations.
3.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas
The 28170 RF modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications.
The FCC requirement for mobile applications states that the antenna must be mounted at
least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons. Only the provided, permanently attached, PCB
trace type antenna is approved for use. The 28170 module does not include any other
antenna option.
3.2 Canada (IC)
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de
l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. For this device, the only antenna option is a permanently attached, PCB trace
type, and does not include any other antenna option.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour cet appareil, la seule option de l'antenne
est un type de trace PCB fixé de façon permanente, et ne comprennent pas toute autre
option d'antenne.
3.2.1 OEM Labeling Requirements
Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A clearly
visible label on the outside of the final product housing must display the contents shown
in Figure 3-2 below.
