RadiocraftsEmbedded Wireless Solutions RC241x/RC241xHP ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC241x Data Sheet (rev. 1.1) Page 6 of 20 The RF transceiver uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) with 2 Mchip/s chip rate, giving a raw data rate of 250 kbit/s. The modulation format is Offset – Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK). The DSSS makes the communication link robust in noisy environments, which is beneficial when sharing the same frequency band with other applications. Regulatory Compliance Information The use of RF frequencies and maximum allowed transmitted RF power is limited by national regulations. The RC241XHP has been designed to comply with world wide regulations (R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC in Europe, G.S.R. 542(E)/45(E) for India and FCC and ARIB). The RC241X (non-HP) complies with all directives and regulations at any power lever setting. In order to comply with the different standards, the output power for RC241XHP should be configured as commented below. R&TTE directive (EU) According to R&TTE directive it is the responsibility of Radiocrafts’ customers to check that the host product (i.e. final product) is compliant with R&TTE essential requirements. The use of a CE marked radio module can avoid re-certification of the final product, provided that the end user respects the recommendations established by Radiocrafts. A Declaration of Conformity for the modules is available from Radiocrafts on request. In terms of R&TTE the RC241XHP is a wideband radio and must comply with EN 300 328 on those premises. This implies that the radiated power must be lower than 12 dBm and hence power setting giving 12 dBm or lower can be used in compliance to EN 300 328. FCC/IC compliance (US, Canada) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Part number FCC ID IC ID RC241xAT Y2NRC24XX IC 9402A-RC24XX RC241xCT Y2NRC24XX IC 9402A-RC24XX RC241xHP-AT Y2NRC24XXHP IC 9402A-RC24XXHP RC241xHP-CT Y2NRC24XXHP IC 9402A-RC24XXHP 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. Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions: (1) cet appareil ne doit pas créer d'interférences nuisibles et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences qui peuvent en perturber le fonctionnement. Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

RadiocraftsEmbedded Wireless Solutions RC241x/RC241xHP ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC241x Data Sheet (rev. 1.1) Page 7 of 20 If an detachable RF connector is introduced in RF path it must be a non-standard type RP-SMA, U.Fl etc. The modules have been approved with the following external quarter wave antennas: Manufacturer Part number EAD Acara Taoglas FXP73.07.0100A Antennova Titanis Any use of antenna with gain > 2.5 dBi is strictly forbidden. Warning for RC241xHP: This is device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. For approval of end product as portable device, separate SAR tests and approval is required for end product. Avertissement concernant le module RC2400HP: Le module RC2400 HP est conforme à l'exposition aux limites de rayonnements RF FCC acceptées pour un environnement non contrôlé. L'antenne utilisée pour cet émetteur doit être installé pour fournir une distance minimum 20 cm par rapport à toute personne et ne doit pas être à côté ou fonctionner conjointement avec une autre antenne ou transmetteur. Pour l'approbation du produit final en tant que périphérique portable, des tests et homologations SAR propres au produit sont requis. The output power of RC241x is below the FCC threshold requiring that it be tested for SAR compliance. La puissance de sortie du RC2400 est inférieur au seuil FCC nécessitant que des tests de conformité SAR soient réalisés. This device has been designed to operate with an quarter wave antenna having a maximum gain of 2.5 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Cet appareil a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne 1/ d'ondes ayant un gain maximum de 2,5 dBi. Utiliser une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les règlements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. Pour réduire le risque d'interférence pour les autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisies de façon que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) n'est pas supérieure à celle requise pour une communication réussie. The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb

RadiocraftsEmbedded Wireless Solutions RC241x/RC241xHP ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC241x Data Sheet (rev. 1.1) Page 8 of 20 Le programme d'installation de cet équipement radio doit s'assurer que l'antenne est située ou orientée de façon à ne pas émettre de champ RF dépassant les limites de Santé Canada pour la population en général, consulter le Code de sécurité 6, disponible sur le site Web de Santé Canada www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb End product marking FCC/IC The end product including the module must include the following text on a visible label: For RC241x For RC241xHP WPC compliance (India) License based operation in India is based on case by case grant and the basis is often a compliance to the R&TTE directive or to FCC. ARIB compliance The RC241xHP has been designed to comply with the requirements given by the Japanese ARIB STD-T66 for low power (short range) devices in the 2.4GHz range. However, it has not been formally assessed for conformity with the appropriate regulations. Users must assess and verify that their final product meets the appropriate specifications and to perform the required procedures for regulatory compliance. The relevant regulations are subject to change. Radiocrafts AS does not take responsibility for the validity and accuracy of the understanding of the regulations referred above.

RadiocraftsEmbedded Wireless Solutions RC241x/RC241xHP ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC241x Data Sheet (rev. 1.1) Page 9 of 20 Antenna and Range Considerations The module needs an antenna to operate. The following antenna options could be considered. Antenna Advantage Estimated LOS range (meters) RC241X Estimated LOS range (meters) RC241XHP (100 mW) Chip antenna -AT Low cost, easy to implement 200-300 1000-1500 External whip monopole High performance 500-700 3000-4000 External whip dipole High preformance, no large ground plane required 500-700 3000-4000 When using a module of -CT version with external antenna, the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of the antenna should be less than 2:1. The VSWR is normally specified in the antenna datasheet and most commercial available antennas fulfil this requirement. Also note that if the external antenna is a monopole connected with cable, the antenna require a ground plane at base of antenna. Only ground through the cable will not give optimal preformance for a monopole antenna. Antenna parameter for a typical RC2411AT is shown below, for a module with equivalent 4 dBm conducted output power.

RadiocraftsEmbedded Wireless Solutions RC241x/RC241xHP ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC241x Data Sheet (rev. 1.1) Page 13 of 20 Proper grounding of all ground pins to ground on motherboard is crucial to get best preformance. The ground connection should be made with a via directly from the pad to the ground plane, with shortest possible routing trace. Figure 7 Layout recommendation for variant with U.FL connector. Removal of ground under RF test pin (Pin 32 on module) to avoid increased capacitance on the RF transmission line is important for optimum preformance. Figure 8.
