1.0 RF Engine 200A Series OEM Modules Overview
The RF Engine 200A Series (Model Number RF200A) 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 RF200A 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 1.4 µA to enable a new generation of batterydriven 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 RF200A 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 RF200A module
contains both a power amplifier for transmission and a low noise amplifier in the receive
path for extended range.

2.1.2 FCC Notices
WARNING: The RF200A 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 RF200A 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.
2.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas
The RF200A 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. The RF200PD1 module has
been designed to operate with the antennas listed below in Table 2.1. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The RF200APF1 has a built-in F-antenna.

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.
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.
This radio transmitter Model: RF200A, IC: 7084A-RF200A 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.
Le présent émetteur radio Model: RF200, IC: 7084A-RF200A a été approuvé par Industrie
