WIKA Module User Manual Rev 1.1 Author: David Kramer 11/18/2022 Regular FCC/ISED Part 15C/RSS-Gen warning statement For FCC This 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. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For ISED This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference. (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’ISDE Canada applicables 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’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement. Regular FCC/ISED RF exposure considerations For FCC This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure - This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of separation distance between the module and the user's body must be maintained at all times. 2820 Wilderness Place, Unit C, Boulder, CO 80301 For ISED This device meets the IC requirements for RF exposure in public or uncontrolled environments. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure - This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of separation distance between the module and the user's body must be maintained at all times. Instruction to module Integrator (for module integration) Labelling A label must be affixed to the outside of final commercial product with the following statements: This device contains FCC ID: N4T-WMC915R1 Contains IC: 3196A-WMC915R1 Antenna The following antennas are recommended for use with the WIKA Radio Module: Nearson vertical whip P/N S1551AH-915S (Peak Gain = 2.0 dBi) Pulse Larsen “mag mount” antenna P/N NMO5T900B (Peak Gain = 2.75dBi) To comply with FCC regulations, any antenna used must either employ a “non-standard” connector, or be permanently affixed to the equipment containing the RF Module. The Nearson antenna is supplied with an “Reverse Polarity SMA connector (RP-SMA)”, which meets this requirement. The Pulse Larsen antenna must be used with a magnetic mount containing a non-standard connector such as the Laird P/N: GB195RPSMAI, which also uses an RP-SMA connector. Alternative antennas may be used, provided peak gain is equal to or lower than antennas used for FCC compliance testing. Any alternative antenna used must employ a “non-standard” antenna or be permanently affixed to the housing containing the radio module. Peak gain for alternative antennas are as follows: Vertical Whip: peak gain =< 2.7 dBi Mag Mount Antenna: peak gain <= 2.75dBi FCC RF exposure considerations Consistent with §2.909(a), the following text must be included within the user’s manual or operator instruction guide for the final commercial product: This modular complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of separation distance between the module and the user's body must be maintained at all times. Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. The FCC Part 15 Statement shall be included in the user manual of final commercial product if applicable. Caution Statement for Modifications: CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 1 Overview The WIKA Radio Module is a radio transceiver designed to provide medium range digital communication between two nodes. Typically, these nodes will be a battery powered remote sensor and a gateway, both utilizing the transceiver module. It operates in the 902 – 928 MHz frequency band which allows for unlicensed operation in North America. The module is represented pictorially below: Figure 1 -RF Module Design As is shown, the dimensions are 36mm x 52mm. There are four mounting holes for attachment into the housing. The connector at J3 mates to the digital control board, which provides digital I/O and +3.3VDC regulated power. J4 attaches to an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) that attaches to a user accessible indicator/switch panel. J2 is the “tag connect swd” programming port. The antenna cable attaches at J1. 2 Specifications 2.1 I/O 2.1.1 Digital I/O (J3) The main interface and input/output connector is an ERNI#234206, which establishes the following signals: Table 1 - J3 Pin Descriptions Pin Signal Name Description Levels A1 VDD 3.3V Regulated DC from Digital Board A2 TXD USART TXD to interface Board (OUTPUT) 0/3.3V A3 RXD USART RXD from interface Board (INPUT) 0/3.3V A4 CAN_CTS Handshake signal from interface board (INPUT) 0/3.3V A5 RADIO_CTS Handshake signal to interface board (OUTPUT) 0/3.3V A6 CLI_TXD Command line usart tx (OUTPUT) 0/3.3V B1 VDD 3.3V Regulated DC from Digital Board B2 GND System Ground B3 GND System Ground B4 GND System Ground B5 CLI_RXD Command line usart rx (INTPUT) 0/3.3V B6 CLI_ACTIVE When high, activates command line interface CLI_RXD an…

Packaging 10 Changelog 11 3 SPE-16-8-007/B/WY www.taoglas.com The FW.95 is a flexible 915MHz whip antenna with a SMA type (M) connector for outdoor use. It features excellent efficiency (>60%) and high peak gain (>2.71 dBi) at 915MHz on a 30x30 cm ground plane. The antenna was developed for monitoring systems, such as weather monitoring, motion / vibration sensors, and pollutants monitoring. The FW.95 has an excellent omni-directional radiation pattern, ensuring wide coverage. The antennas high efficiency means that it allows your radio to consume less power than with a lower efficiency antenna when transferring data. It also means a better signal strength and better sensitivity in areas of low signal levels. The antenna performs at its best while attached to a ground plane with dimensions of at least 30x30 cm. For an environment where there is no ground-plane available we recommend to use the terminal mount antenna the TI.19 or the outdoor fiberglass omni antenna the OMB.915. The FW.95 whip is made of a flexible inner steel core covered by PE so it is extremely resistant to abrasion and maintains its original shape and RF performance even after shock. This rugged design and IP65 rating on the housing ensure high reliability. This antenna comes with SMA(M) connector as standard. Other custom variants can be provided subject to NRE and MOQ.
