2. Section2:
2.1 Technical Description:
RM900 can work at 868MHz, 1 channel, channel spacing 2MHz. It can also work
at 902 ~ 924MHz, 10 channels, channel spacing 2MHz. Users can change its TX
power, working channel through com tool. RM900 is a high sensitivity IEEE
802.15.4/ZigBee module. A combination of Atmel’s MCU SMD21 and RF
transceiver AT86RF212B, the RM900 offers superior radio performance.
The module contains Atmel’s SAMD21 Cotex-M0 Microcontroller, AT86RF212B
RF transceiver. The module can be easily mounted on a simple 2-layer PCB with
a minimum of required external connection. Neither via-holes nor wires are
allowed on the PCB upper layer in area occupied by the module. As a critical
requirement, RF_GND pins should be grounded via several holes to be located
right next to the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing both mismatch
and losses.

standard(s). 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.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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.
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. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
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. Dans le but de réduire les risques de
brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type

d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
satisfaisante.
MPE Reminding
To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should 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.
Les antennes installées doivent être situées de facon à ce que la population ne puisse
y être exposée à une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon à ce
que le personnel ne puisse approcher à 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l’
antenne.
La FCC des éltats-unis stipule que cet appareil doit être en tout temps éloigné d’au
moins 20 cm des personnes pendant son functionnement.
