RF200PD1 Data Sheet Document Number 430133-01B Page 4 of 13 1.0 RF Engine 200 Series OEM Modules Overview The RF Engine 200 Series (Model Number RF200) is an IEEE 802.15.4, low power, highly-reliable solution to embedded wireless control and monitoring network needs that require high data rates. The RF200 embeds Synapse’s SNAP OS, the industry’s first Internet-enabled, wireless mesh network operating system into the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 single-chip AVR® microcontroller with an integrated transceiver that delivers up to 2Mbits/sec. These low-cost modules can have a range of up to three miles and power consumption as low as 1.6 μA to enable a new generation of battery-driven systems. SNAP’s on-board Python interpreter provides for rapid application development and over-the-air programming, while Atmel’s low-power RF single-chip design saves board space and lowers the overall Bill of Materials and power consumption. The RF200 is approved as an FCC Part 15 unlicensed modular transmitter. The modules provide up to 16 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band. The RF200 module contains both a power amplifier for transmission and a low noise amplifier in the receive path for extended range. This Data Sheet details Part Number RF200PD1, which includes: • 20 GPIO and up to 7 A/D inputs • 128k flash, 60k free for over-the-air uploaded user apps • Two UART ports for control or transparent data which surmounts noisy environments • Low power modes: 1.6 μA with internal timer running • Spread spectrum (DSSS) technology • Socket-able or solder-able • Up to 2 Mbps Data Rate • 2.4 GHz RF Frequency • Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology • Receive Amplifier (7 dBm) standard • Transmit amplifier (15 dBm) for best-in-class range • SMA antenna (up to 3 miles LoS at 250Kbps)

RF200PD1 Data Sheet Document Number 430133-01B Page 8 of 13 1.4 Mechanical Drawings These drawings in Figure 1.1 show the module with the RPSMA connector for use with an external antenna. Figure 1.1 Mechanical drawings of the RF200PD1 Module 1.5 Board Mounting Considerations The RF200PD1 module is designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) on the host board. Picture 1.1 shows an RF200PD1 module plugged in to a host board. The receptacle sockets are on standard 2mm centers. Suggested receptacles to be used on the host are: 1) Thru-hole receptacle Samtec MMS-112-01-L-SV 2) Surface mount receptacle Samtec MMS-112-02-L-SV It is recommended that the mounting holes provided in the module on either side of the SMA connector be used with supporting mounting hardware to hard mount the module to either the host board or to the enclosure to handle the mechanical stresses that can occur when an external antenna is screwed into the SMA. Picture 1.1 shows the RF200PD1 with SMA connector mounted to the host board.

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 RF200 Modules. Figure 2.1 below shows the contents that must be included in this label. 2. RF200 Modules may only be used with the antenna that has been tested and approved for use with the module. Please refer to the antenna table provided in this section. 2.1.1 OEM Labeling Requirements NOTICE: 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 2.1 below.
RF200PD1 Data Sheet Document Number 430133-01B Page 10 of 13 2.1.2 FCC Notices WARNING: The RF200 modules have been tested by the FCC for use with other products without further certification (as per FCC Section 2.1091). Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Synapse Wireless Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTICE: OEM’s must certify 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. NOTICE: The RF200 modules have been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the module will be used for portable applications, the device must undergo SAR testing. 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. MANUFACTURERS NAME Figure 2.1 FCC Label BRAND NAME or TRADE NAME Contains RF200 FCC ID: U9O-RF200 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 interferences, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF200PD1 Data Sheet Document Number 430133-01B Page 11 of 13 2.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas The RF200 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. Notice: To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. This module has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below in Table 2.1. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. Table 2.1. Approved FCC Antennas Part Number Type Gain Application Min. Separation Pulse W1027 Dipole (quarter-wave RPSMA) 3.2 dBi Fixed/Mobile 20 cm. Recommended Antenna:
RF200PD1 Data Sheet Document Number 430133-01B Page 12 of 13 RF Exposure WARNING: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. NOTICE: The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals in order to alert users of FCC RF Exposure compliance. 2.2 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. 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. This radio transmitter Model: RF200, IC: 7084A-RF200 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Table 2.2. Approved IC Antennas Part Number Type Gain Application Min. Separation Pulse W1027 Dipole (quarter-wave RPSMA) 3.2 dBi Fixed/Mobile 20 cm. 2.2.1 OEM Labeling Requirements Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC.
