In the interest of product improvement, information and specifications herein are subject to change without notice. 2 FCC Statement The A2400 equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sensicast could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: The module complies with FCC's RF exposure requirements and the module must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. FCC Labeling The module is labeled with its own FCC ID number (RNB-OEM200). If this number 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 with the following wording: “Contains FCC ID:RNB-OEM200” FCC 20cm RF Exposure To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 3 Introduction This design guide is intended to provide a good understanding of the functionality of the OEM200 module. The intended audience is the engineer responsible for integrating the OEM200 into a product. Description and Specifications The OEM200 is a component of the Sensicast A2400 Wireless Sensor Network Platform – a completely self- configuring, self-healing, power managed sensor network. Powered by SensiNet (Sensicast proprietary mesh networking software), the OEM200 is the most reliable mesh networking radio module on the market today. With its external radio amplification stage, it has a range of over 1000 feet (outdoors) and 230 feet (indoors, non-line of site). Furthermore, SensiNet uses frequency diverse radio algorithms to ensue reliable, clear channel communication even in the most harsh radio environments. In addition, off-the-shelf A2400 infrastructure hardware and SensiMesh ® Gateway software for constructing and maintaining your mesh network is available from Sensicast. Block diagram Antenna There is a PCB “Inverted F” antenna on the device. For best performance, care should be taken to keep metal components away from this section of the PCB. The PCB will also support an external antenna connector at J2. However, please note that this product is only FCC certified with the existing embedded antenna. If a user application requires an external antenna, re-submission with the specific external antenna is required for FCC approval. For more details, please contact Sensicast. Radio Transceiver The radio is under control of the OEM200’s microcontroller and is contained inside the metal shield. Microcontroller The SensiNet software, including the sensor API, runs on this microcontroller. It includes onboard flash memory, RAM, and analog and digital I/O and a 32kHz real time clock. LEDs There are three LEDS: red, yellow and green that are firmware controlled. Antenna Radio Transceiver Microcontroller Connector Optional temperature and humidity sensor LEDs 4 Optional temperature and humidity sensor The OEM200 can be preloaded with a temperature and humidity sensor at U7. Please contact Sensicast for temperature and humidity specifications. Connectors The primary interconnection is J1, the 41 position board-to-board, header (Hirose p/n DF9A-41P-1V(20); mates with: Hirose p/n DF9A-41S-1V(20)) on the bottom of the assembly. (Please note that this header is common between the OEM200 and OEM100). Optionally, power can be brought to the board through J3, a two position, right angle wire to board, header (JST p/n S2B-PH-K-S, mate: JST p/n PHR-2). Here is a schematic drawing of J1 and a list of signal descriptions for both connectors: J1 Pin OEM200 Signal OEM200 Description 1 GND Ground 2 GND Ground 3 VCC Power 4 VCC Power J1 CB – J3 (on OEM200) 5 5 GND Ground 6 PD2/RXD1/INT2 [DIG2/EXTINT2] General I/O / External interrupt 7 PC0/SPARE1 General I/O ; end node (OEM200) only 8 PE6/T3/INT6 [DIG1/RTCLK/EXTINT1] Radio Amp Indicator (Tx) – Output 9 PC1/SPARE0 General I/O ; end node (OEM200) only 10 PE5/OC3C/INT5 [DIG0/EXTINT0] General I/O / External interrupt 11 PF1/ADC1 Analog In 12 PD1/SDA/INT1 I2C_DATA 13 PF0/ADC0 Analog In 14 PD6/T1 General I/O / Counter In 15 GND Ground 16 PE2/SCK0/AIN0 RTS 17 RESET# Atmel reset Input 18 PE3/OC3A/AIN1 CTS/16 bit PWM out 19 PF4/ADC4/TCK Module programming 20 PD0/SCL/INT0 I2C_SCK I/O 21 PF5/ADC5/TMS Module programming 22 PC2/SPARE2 General I/O ; end node (OEM200) only 23 PF7/ADC7/TDI Module programming 24 PF7_ATTEN [PIC_ICSPMCLR#] through a 10K resistor / Carrier Board Reset Output 25 PF6/ADC6/TDO Module programming 26 PF6_ATTEN [PIC_ICSPPGM] through a 10K resistor 27 PD7/T2_ATTEN no connect (input through 10K resistor) 28 PE1/TXDO/PD0 UART TX 29 PF5_ATTEN [PIC_ICSPCLK] through a 10K resistor 30 PE0/RXD0/PDI UART RX 31 PD4/ICP1[BOOST_ENABLE] Boost Enable Request Output 32 PF4_ATTEN [PIC_ICSPDAT] through a 10K resistor 33 PD0/SCL/INT0 no connect (bit bang-able SPI) 34 PB4/OC0 Status line/ RS485 Enable 35 PD1/SDA/INT1 no connect (bit bang-able SPI) 36 PE2/SCK0/AIN0 no connect (bit bang-able SPI) 3…

Question: The modular approval request letter states that above 3.6V, the unit would refuse to transmit. Pg 25 of the report shows RF output power measurements at 3.8V. Please clarify. Response: The unit provided for testing did not have the production version of software. The software monitoring of the voltage regulation was not present in the test code used. The production units have a high voltage shutdown level set at 3.6V. Please note that the 3.8V measurement on page 25 of the test report was at the +15% variation limit.

Introduction During February and March, 2005 a series of Conducted and Radiated Emission tests were performed on one sample of the Sensicast Systems OEM 200, here forth referred to as the “Equipment Under Test” or “EUT”. These tests were performed using the procedures outlined in ANSI C63.4-2003 for intentional radiators, and in accordance with the limits set forth in FCC Part 15.109 (Industry Canada RSS-210) for a receiver or digital device. These tests were performed by Kenneth L. Boston, EMC Lab Manager, of L.S. Compliance, Inc. All Radiated and Conducted Emission tests upon the EUT were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described in Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 15, including 15.35, 15.247, 15.109a and Industry Canada RSS-210 to determine whether these emissions are below the limits expressed within the standards. These tests were performed in accordance with the procedure described in the American National Standard for methods of measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (ANSI C63.4-2003). Another document used as a reference for the EMI Receiver specification was the Comite International Special Des Perturbations Radioelelectriques CISPR 16-1, 2003. All tests were performed at L.S. Compliance, Inc. in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, unless otherwise noted. 8. Product Description The OEM200 End Node is a battery-operated, 2400MHz transceiver that can wirelessly transmit and receive data to and from A2400 Coordinator devices. It is not a routing device. The OEM200 will require a power source to operate (typically a battery) and a sensor and/or actuator to be useful. The device can measure and report temperature and humidity using and onboard sensor but typically the OEM200 will be plugged into a mating receptacle on a carrier board. This carrier board will house a sensor and/or actuator, a power sou…
