1 SIGFOX technology

SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication

for connected objects. With an extremely cost effective and very low energy consuming out-of-the-box

connectivity offer, SIGFOX brings a revolution to the world of Internet of Things and M2M. The network,

which already connects tens of thousands of objects, is being rolled out worldwide.

2 Base station synoptic

SIGFOX base stations operate on reception on a specific frequency bandwidth used by SIGFOX terminals.

They are also able if necessary to transmit information to do single or multi-cast back to these terminals.

The base stations include a complete system described in the following synoptic.

Some elements are provided by the SIGFOX NETWORK OPERATOR (SNO) such as the antenna.

The antenna characteristics depends on the operating frequency band and specific site constraints (gain, height,

etc…).

SIGFOX will provide the transceiver unit called SIGFOX Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 and

the corresponding antenna low noise switch/amplifier (SBS-P). This component integrates a low noise

amplifier in reception mode and a switch that bypasses this stage in transmission mode.

This device characteristic depends also on operating frequency bands applicable in the region.

SIGFOX Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 series are ultra wide range, high linearity transceivers

units and feature first class performance radio and innovative software defined processing, for use in Ultra

Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine wireless communication systems.

Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 can have a preset receiver frequency depending on the radio

regulation applicable in the region. For instance, at 868.2MHz, targeting M2M application in European ISM

bands or at 902 MHz for M2M application in US ISM bands. Other frequencies are of course possible. This

choice is made by a specific software configuration.

SIGFOX SBS-T series are indoor units with aluminum chassis, suitable for wall mount, rack mount or desktop

installation.

4 Installation site recommendations

This base station has been developed to be installed in indoor.

It must be used with an LNA.

It can be used also with a cavity filter.

The datasheets of LNAs for 902-928MHz operation is in annex 1.

The datasheets of LNAs for 868.13MHz operation is in annex 2.

4.1 Cavity filter option

The cavity filter use is optional in some countries.

4.1.1 New Zealand

In New Zealand this base station must be installed with the cavity filter described in annex 3 on the top

of the LNA.

4.2 Antenna

This Base station was certified with an Omnidirectional Antenna with a Gain of 8dBi. Only an

omnidirectional antenna with a gain of 8dBi or less can be used.

6 Warning statements

6.1 FCC warning statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS 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.

 Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name)

may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

 This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure

compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

 This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the

radiator and your body.

 This equipment must be professionally installed. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the

proper antenna is employed so that the limits in part 15 are not exceeded.

 Only the antennas approved by SIGFOX must be used. The antennas may not be modified. The

antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. No

additional antenna must be used.

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.

6.2 IC warning statement

"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 isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary

for successful communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-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."

Date:06/10/16

This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and

your body.

Conformément à la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une

antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.

Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique a 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.

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

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un environnement

non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source

de rayonnement et votre corps.

7 Electrical connection

The base station must be installed with a power point with the electrical protection according to the

standards.

In case the Base station is connected to mains by its electrical cable, the electrical plug must be easily

reachable in order to remove the cable.

In case the electrical plug is not easily reachable it is mandatory to have a circuit breaker system easily

accessible for any technician in order to switch off completely the installation.

8 Battery

Attention: there is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type battery

9 Earthing

Earthing all components is extremely important. The reasons are:

- Protection against lightning strikes;

- Evacuation of static electricity in the cables and equipment.

The coaxial cable must be connected to ground of the tower by at least two earthing kits (in line with the

coaxial cable) at two locations on the tower at the top and bottom.

Base station earth point is marked with following symbol:

9.1 Earthing the base station

In order to protect the station, it must be earthed with a G/Y 6mm2 wire (or AWG9).

First you need to insert a grower washer or a lock washer and a grounding lug into a hexagon socket screw

M4x10. And then you must screw it into the hole provided for this purpose on the side of the station. The

correct tightening torque is of 2.2 N.m. If needed, you can bend the lug to ease the insertion of the wire.
