5.2 PCB Solder Lands
5.2.1 Host Board
The host PCB footprint should not contain any traces or vias under the module except the pads connecting to the solder lands of connector
J4- and the 19 supplementary GND-pads. TP- and NC-pads are not mandatory but can be used to get a better balance of the solder
process.
5.2.2 Mounting Process
Although connectBlue devices will withstand two re-flow soldering processes (T < 250°C) we strongly recommend the modules not
max
being subjected to more than one soldering process after being shipped from connectBlue thus the modules are populated on the host
product in the final solder processing step.
The PCB in our modules is UL recognized ZPMV2 min. 130 °C flame class V-0 with ENIG coated solder lands.
The modules are produced in a lead-free process with a lead-free soldering paste.
It is recommended that the customers make their own electrical, climate, stress and vibration tests on the final assembled product
to secure that the manufacturing process hasn't damaged or affected the module in any way.
The modules are delivered in ESD bags (for small quantities) or tape-on-reel
Modules delivered on tape-on-reel are packaged in sealed drypack" bags, MSL-3
Modules delivered in ESD bag are not in a sealed drypack
The device recommended maximum re-flow temperature is 245°C for 10 sec.
The device absolute maximum re-flow temperature is 250°C for 3 sec.

7 Guidelines for Efficient and Safe Use
7.1 General
Read this information before using your ODIN-W160 module.
For any exceptions, due to national requirements or limitations, when using your WLAN module, please contact connectBlue AB.
7.2 Product Care
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture.
Do not expose you product to extreme hot or cold temperature.
Do not expose your product to lit candles, cigarettes, cigars, open flames, etc.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product since rough treatment could damage your product.
Do not attempt to disassemble your product. Doing so will void warranty. The product does not contain consumer serviceable or
replaceable components. Service should only be performed by connectBlue AB.
Do not paint your product as the paint could prevent normal use.
If your product is not to be used for a longer period, store it in a dry place free from damp, dust and not subjected to extreme
temperatures.
The clearance and creepage distances required by the end product must be withheld when the module is installed.
The cooling of the end product shall not negatively be influenced by the installation of the module when the module is installed.
7.3 Radio Frequency Exposure
The ODIN-W160 WLAN module contains a small radio transmitter and receiver.
During communication with other WLAN products the ODIN-W160 module transmits and receives radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2412 - 2462 MHz, 5180 - 5240 MHz, 5260 - 5320 MHz, and 5500 - 5700 MHz.
The output power of the radio transmitter is very low.
When using the module, you will be exposed to some of the transmitted RF energy. This exposure is well below the prescribed limits in all
national and international RF safety standards and regulations.
7.4 Electronic Equipment
Most modern electronic equipment, for example, in hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
is not. Therefore:
7.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your electronic device before entering an area with potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your electronic device could
generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas, such as petrol station,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
7.6 Safety Compliance
In order to fulfil the safety standard EN 60950-1:2006 the WLAN module ODIN-W160 must be supplied by a Class-2 Limited Power Source.
Changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by connectBlue AB will void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
This equipment emits RF energy. Please insure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet appropriate
susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
