SUITE 209 SAN DIEGO CA 92131 +1 858.653.0100 WWW.TALONCOM.COM Copyright © 2012 Talon Communications, Inc. +20dBm 2Mbps HiMOD RADIO TRANSCEIVER DESCRIPTION The 24 HiMOD is a low power, high over the air data rate, FCC certified 2.4GHz RF Module with a 100mW PA/LNA for extended range operations. The micro form factor module includes either an SMA antenna connector or a built in trace antenna. The 24 HiMOD is based on the Nordic nRF24L01+ radio incorporating an Enhanced ShockBurst™ hardware protocol accelerator which offloads time critical protocol functions from the application microcontroller enabling the implementation of advanced and robust wireless connectivity with low cost 3rd-party microcontrollers. The 24 HiMOD can be used with the nRFgo SDK for easy code development. The nRFgo SDK is a fully featured Software Development Kit for Nordic nRF24L Series 2.4GHz RF System-on-Chips (SoCs). Used in conjunction with the nRFgo Starter Kit and nRFgo Studio, it contains everything needed for code development and debugging, including integration with Keil μVision™ IDE, a comprehensive library of hardware abstraction layers (HAL), Nordic Gazell 2.4GHz RF protocol stack, USB stack, and example applications. The module brings out all the functional pins of the nRF24L01+ and PA for maximum useability and flexibility including: • SPI Bus • Maskable Interrupt • Power Amplifier Tx and Rx Enable FEATURES • +20dBm (100mW) Maximum Transmit Power • Micro 27mm x 14mm x 10mm form factor (SMA) • Long range-up to ½ mile LOS • Worldwide 2.4GHz ISM band operation • 250Kbps / 1Mbps / 2Mbps selectable data rate • 79 Selectable RF channels • Enhanced ShockBurstTM hardware accelerator • Automatic Packet Handling • Nordic Gazell Protocol Stack • Low power modes (<2 μA in sleep mode) • SMA or trace antenna • Nordic Radio plus PA/LNA • SMT or right angle through-hole mounting • -40C to +85C Operation • 2.0v to 3.6v Operation • 5.0v tolerant inputs • RoHS Compliant • FCC/CE/IC Certified APPLICATIONS • Security • Video / JPEG • M2M • Long Range Monitoring • Industrial Control • Commercial Automation • Lighting Control • Asset Tracking Input excel file Revision 2.2 08/2012 The information in this document is subject to change without notice. 2/5 TALON COMMUNICATIONS 10636 SCRIPPS SUMMIT CT.

RF Exposures Evaluation For Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) evaluation of the product, the maximum power density at 20 cm from this transmitter shall be less than the General Population / Uncontrolled MPE limit in OET Bulletin 65. The radiated output power (The worst-case radiated emission is 112.9 dBμV/m with the module 24HiMOD-RPSMA) = [(FS*D) ^2 / 30] mW = 58.479 mW From these data, the exposed power density at a distance (R) of 20cm from the center of radiation of the antenna can be calculated according to OET Bulletin 65 as follow: The (EIRP) source-based time-averaging output power = 58.479*(T on/ (Ton+Toff))mW < 58.479 mW, since (Ton/ (Ton+Toff)) < 1 The power density at 20 cm from the antenna = EIRP / 4 πR^2 < 0.0116 mW/cm^2 where: S = power density (in appropriate units, e.g. mW/cm2) P = power input to the antenna (in appropriate units, e.g., mW) G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (appropriate units, e.g., cm) In the frequency range of 1,500 - 100,000MHz, the MPE limit is 1.0 mWcm-2 for general population and uncontrolled exposure. As the measured power density at 20cm from the transmitter is lower than the MPE limit, the compliance to the MPE limit can be ensured by indicating the minimum 20cm separation between the transmitter's radiating structures and body of the user or nearby persons. The following RF exposure statement is proposed to be included in the user manual: “FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement Caution: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, place the product at least 20cm from nearby persons.”
