The V240S module is used to identify the location of an individual or asset location. It communicates at 2.4GHz, to a badge module or a link module, and uses an IR receiver that receives data from a badge to determine its location. The overall operation of the V240S module is controlled by a microcontroller. This microcontroller is powered from an internally regulated supply, and uses a 16 MHz reference. The V240S module can be powered from batteries, approximately 4.5V, or low voltage DC. The microcontroller handles control of the RF and IR communications, indicator LEDs, external I/O, and external serial communications. RF communications use a 2.4 GHz transceiver. The transceiver chip uses a 16 MHz reference oscillator that is shared with the microcontroller for TX/RX, and is also powered by an internally regulated supply. The transceiver uses an integral antenna on the PCB. 1.2 Battery Replacement The V240S can be powered from 3, D Cell batteries. The batteries are replaceable. To replace the batteries, open the case, remove the old batteries, and replace with new batteries noting their polarity. 1.3 FCC and IC V240S Module Responsible Party Pertaining to the Declaration of Conformity Fleetwood Group, Inc. 11832 James Street Holland, MI 49424 Attn: Product Service Coordinator Phone: 888-467-3759 1.4 Standards and Guidelines This device complies with the following USA/Canada Regulations:  The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations  Industry Canada Rules and Regulations This device complies with the following national and international standards:  FCC Part 15B, 15.249 (10-01-09)  IC RSS-210 Issue 8 5 1.5 FCC/IC Compliance This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules.

Federal Communications Commission 2/4 /2011 Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 To Whom It May Concern: In regards to RF Module, model V2 40S. This letter addresses each of the points numbered 1-8 on page 2 of the DA00-1407 Part 15 Unlicensed Limited Modular Approval. In response to: “ 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation.” The module uses microstrip shielding, ground plane, and ground plane flooding to effectively control emissions. Spurious emissions have been checked and shown to be compliant. For final products that contain the certified device and do not use a typical enclosure, spurious emissions testing is required to confirm compliance. In response to: “2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation.” All modulation data inputs are internal to the transceiver chip. Filtering has been provided on all external I/O interfaces. In response to: “3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed.” The module uses filtered linear voltage regulators, and the transmitter uses internal constant current sources to regulate the affects of applied voltage.

The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules.” The module uses an internal etched PCB antenna. In response to: “5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)).” The module is battery or low voltage DC powered and shall be tested in a stand-alone configuration. In response to: “6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization.” The module and final assembly shall comply with the stated labeling.

The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured.” We will retain contr…
