The only other issue that needs elaboration is the OEM instructions on the shape and length of the micro strip line and what tests you will perform to ensure that the range of installations would ensure compliance. You can prescan different shapes and sizes to check for compliance. If the only construction is a straight microstrip line with various lengths the OEM instructions should make it clear and testing easier. -Joe *** Non-Public: For Internal Use Only *** -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tucker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 10:01 AM To: Joe Dichoso Cc: Paul Maziarczyk; Tim Cutler Subject: RE: Tracking number 539509 Joe, Thanks for the reply.

Joe -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tucker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 6:07 PM To: Joe Dichoso Subject: Tracking number 539509 Joe, Sorry to bother you about a housekeeping item, but I need to make sure a reply I submitted to your lab-help web site made it into the system and I didn’t know who else to contact to find out. I submitted a question to the lab-help site early last week and received a tracking number of 539509. OET replied within two days asking for more detail on a few of my points. I then replied to those questions using the “reply comments” section of the web site last Friday (3/3). I haven’t heard a reply since then and just wanted to make sure my reply comments were actually received. It’s fine if you’re still chewing over the answer – I just wanted to make sure my reply made it to OET’s office. Thanks, Mark From: Bessie Bordenave [mailto:[email protected]] Page 2 of 4Message 9/19/2007 Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 3:08 PM To: Mark Tucker Subject: RE: Modular Approval for a 15.247 device soldered on OEM's support board You should submit this inquiry through our Knowledge Database System at: www.fcc.gov/labhelp. After submitting the inquiry, you will receive a tracking number for future use concerning this inquiry. We (Cirronet) would like to obtain module approval for a Zigbee module coming out later this year. This module will be designed to be compliant as a DTS under 15.247. The module itself is very small – roughly 1 inch by 0.5 inch - and is designed to be soldered directly on to an OEM’s support board. Per the modular approval rules, our module is designed to have the following features: 1) RF shield is provided around the module 2) All data/modulation inputs are buffered 3) The module has its own internal power regulation 4) The module employs a “unique” antenna connection – a solder pad on the back side of the board that must be soldered to the OEM’s support board 5) The module would be tested in the same configuration as the OEM would use it without added shielding or other emissions-reducing circuitry added 6) The module would have the appropriate FCC ID on the top shield 7) These modules are only sold to OEM industrial monitoring and control customers. A detailed operating manual is included with the sale of each module that outlines correct usage of the module. 8) Standard SAR measurements/calculations will be made as part of the testing. Appropriate MPE warnings/alerts will be in the manual. Items 4 and 5 require more explanation. Given the module’s small size, the OEM customer will have to solder it down directly on the PWB of their product. Connection between the RF connection pin on our module and their external antenna will be made by means of a micro strip line on their PWB leading into a MMXC antenna connector. No additional matching or filtering will be required between the module and the antenna connector – just the micro strip line. Given the intended use of the module, we propose to test it in exactly the same fashion at the lab. The module will be soldered on to a support PWB with a section of 50 micro strip transmission line between the module and the antenna connector. The various antennas we want to certify with the module will then be attached to the connector through a coaxial cable for spurious emissions testing. The OEM customer will take the same approach with the module in their product as we did in our testing. They will solder down our module onto their support board and provide a short section of micro strip to connect the RF pin of our module to their external antenna. We will specify the design and construction of the 50 ohm micro strip line on the OEM’s support board in the manual for the module. [This is essentially n…

The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. Cirroent’s ZigBee Module has shielding as required. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs. Cirroent’s ZigBee Module has buffered modulation and data inputs. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. Cirronet’s ZigBee Module has its own internal regulator. 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). Cirronet’s ZigBee Module output is through a set of connections which are like a ball grid array and once soldered to a PC board the connects are not accessible. Without a support PC board the module is unusable. 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. Cirronet’s ZigBee Module was tested on a support PC board designed to meet the requirements of modular approval. Complete open. 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number Cirronet’s ZigBee Module is design as a OEM module. The ZigBee Page 2 of 2© Cirronet 2003 Module will be labeled and instructions given to the OEM customer for FCC label requirements. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter. An Integration Guide is provided with FCC compliance information. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. An Integration Guide is also provides FCC MPE warnings per antenna types that are used.
