Overview and Key Features
The GEMDEV2 module has been designed to allow OEMs to easily add Bluetooth and ANT+
wireless connectivity in their product offering. The GEMDEV2 module incorporates GEMHCI
protocol software specifically designed to enable fitness machines such as treadmills,
exercise bikes, ellipticals, rowers, stair climbers and step machines to wirelessly
communicate exercise data with smart phones, tablets, and leaderboard software systems.
The GEMDEV2 module is based on Nordic Semicondutor’s nRF52832 multiprotocol
Bluetooth and ANT+ chipset. The GEMDEV2 module offers a USB host interface and has a
maximum transmit power of +4dBm, and a sensitivity of -96dBm. This manual is intended
to assist hardware integration of the GEMDEV2 module into a given design. Details on
Wahoo’s GEMHCI software can be found www.wahoogym.com.

GEMDEV2 Considerations
Mechanical items (especially metal) should be kept as far as possible from the module
antenna in all directions, including above and below the board surface. If possible, move
mechanical items out and away from a keepout area of 53mm x 20mm from the GEMDEV2
module edge.
Antenna Characteristics
The GEM 2 module includes an integrated monopole chip antenna. Antenna performance
will depend on host PCB layout. The following plots show antenna radiation pattern of the

Mechanical Information
Dimensions (in mm)
Connecting GEMDEV to Console MCU
The GEMDEV2 is designed for connection to fitness equipment console MCUs through its
USB interface.
The GEMDEV2 has a Silcon Labs CP2104 USB to UART Bridge IC allowing the GEM module
UART to communicate properly over a USB interface as a virtual communication port (VCP).
Drivers are available for Windows, Linux, and Android.
https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
GEMDEV2 Host Protocol
The GEMDEV2 uses Wahoo’s GEMHCI protocol for communications between the GEMDEV2
board and the console MCU using the USB connection. The GEMHCI protocol is designed to
operate through the virtual communications port with a port speed of 115.2Kbps.
The GEMHCI protocol is a binary protocol and is used to configure the GEMDEV2 operation
as well as pass fitness equipment related data to the GEMDEV2 for broadcasting to
connection applications using its Bluetooth/ANT+ radio.
Details of the GEMHCI protocol are provided in the GEMHCI reference manual. Please
contact Wahoo for the latest version of the GEMHCI reference manual.
Regulatory & Standards Information
FCC & Industry Canada
The GEMDEV2 module has modular approval for the United States and Canada. To ensure
compliance when using the GEM 2 module in a design, the OEM is required to adhere to the
implementation considerations supplied in this hardware integration guide.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement:
This device is in compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits
in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
This transceiver must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna,
transmitter, or external amplifiers. Further testing / evaluation of the end product will be
required if the OEM’s device violates any of these requirements.
The GEMDEV2 Module is fully approved for mobile and portable applications.
FCC Labeling Requirements
WARNING: The OEM must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a
clearly visible label on the outside of the OEM enclosure specifying the appropriate FCC
identifier is visible.
Contains
FCC ID: PADWF127
IC: 10563A-WF127
If OEM device is larger than 8x10cm, the following FCC part 15.19 statement has to be
visible on outside of device:
The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Label and text information type should be large enough to be legible and consistent with the
dimensions of the equipment and the label. The type size is not required to be larger than
eight points.
Comments
The OEM should have their device tested by a qualified test house to verify compliance with
FCC Part 15 Subpart B limits for unintentional radiators.
Any modifications to the GEMDEV2 module could void the OEM’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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 not cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit that is different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Warning:
“THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES AND INDUSTRY CANADA
LICENSE-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.
Industry Canada (IC) Warning:
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.
French equivalent:
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicable 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.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement
This device is in compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits
in IC RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE 1528.
REMARQUE IMPORTANTE
Déclaration IC d'exposition aux radiations Ce EUT est conforme avec SAR pour la population
générale / limites d'exposition non contrôlée à IC RSS-102 et a été testé en conformité avec
les méthodes de mesure et procédures spécifiées dans la norme IEEE 1528.
Modular Approval
OEM is still responsible for testing their product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC
peripheral requirements, etc.).
Approbation modulaire
OEM intégrateur est toujours responsable de tester leur produit final pour les exigences de
conformité supplémentaires nécessaires à ce module installé (par exemple, les émissions de
périphériques numériques, les exigences de périphériques PC, etc.)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations
or co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer
considered valid and the IC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances,
the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the
transmitter) and obtaining a separate Canadian authorization.
NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines
configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre
émetteur), l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas
être utilisé sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de
réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte
au Canada.
Le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit visible avec l'inscription suivante: "
GEMDEV2 Module Contient des IC: 10563A-WF127"
CE
