2.4 GHz FHSS RF Module – User Manual and Installation
Model Number 100250
This product is a frequency hopping RF transceiver module for the 2400 to 2483.5 GHz ISM
band, designed to meet FCC 15.247, and is used in industrial control and monitoring
applications. It has the following certifications to operate as transceiver module in the
USA and in Canada.
FCC: OV7100250
IC: 1614A-100250
Installation Instructions
This module is factory installed by Control Microsystems Inc. Operating as Schneider Electric
into its own line of wireless products. There are two classes of products that use this module:
1) Products with integrated antenna – These products are 100% assembled at the
factory and no assembly is required by the end user.
2) Products with field-installed antenna – These products are shipped with a separate
antenna kit consisting of one of the high gain antennas and a coax cable.
Co-axial cables intended for Accutech field units will have an RPTNC connector at one
end and N-type connector at the other end. The RPTNC connector is accessible on the
exterior of the Accutech field unit housing. (i.e. connection is non-intrusive and does not
require opening the product) Connect the other end of the coax cable with an N-type
connector to the antenna.
Co-axial cables intended for Accutech base radios will have an RPSMA connector at one
end and N-type connector at the other end. Connect the coax cable with the RPSMA
connector end to the mating connector located at the center of the RF module. (i.e.
connection is non-intrusive and does not require opening the product) Connect the other
end of the coax cable with an N-type connector to the antenna.
Connectors
Note: This module will only be integrated into products designed and manufactured by
Control Microsystems Inc. Operating as Schneider Electric. As such there is no user manual
specific to this module other than the information contained in this document. The module has no
user settable options related to the wireless operation of the unit.

2.4 GHz RF Module
The module can be powered from an on-board 3.6V D-cell battery or from a DC
regulated supply (3.3 to 5V). This configuration is also determined by Control Microsystems Inc.
Operating as Schneider Electric.
The module has a number of connectors. Most of these are used for internal testing and
integration of the module with other boards.
The connections are:
J1 3-pin connection for membrane switch
J203 Antenna connection
J204 External Antenna connection. Only applies to Accutech Field Units
J206 Digital connection to optional sensor or RS485 communication board
J4 Battery connection (if external power supply not used)
J6 Disable Watchdog
J7 3-pin serial connection for PC (for factory configuration and testing)
J9 JTAG connection (for factory programming)
J205 Currently not used. Digital connection to future sensor cards
J202 Currently not used. J202 was used as test header for radio development
