APEX/APEX LT Datasheet (Preliminary Rev 0.2) www.lsr.com Page 1 of 20 APEX/APEX LT DATASHEET ZigBee Ready Modules 1 Product Description The LS Research APEX and APEX LT modules are 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 data transceivers providing a cost-effective solution for data links and wireless networks. The APEX module is based on the Ember EM250 802.15.4/Zigbee platform and supports point to point, point to multi-point, and EmberZNet applications. It provides a true Zigbee module combining an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio transceiver with a 16-bit microprocessor. The APEX LT module is based on the Ember EM260 Zigbee network processor providing an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio transceiver with a SPI based interface to an application microprocessor, giving the flexibility to choose the external microprocessor size to best fit the application. Both APEX and APEX LT utilize a 100mW power amplifier, providing for enhanced range performance over standard 802.15.4/Zigbee implementations. The APEX modules offer a standard integrated PCB trace antenna. Alternatively, each module has the option to be populated with a MMCX connector for use with an external cabled antenna. The hardware design files can be licensed from LS Research or LS Research can modify the hardware to accommodate specific application requirements. The APEX modules provide a low cost, best in class performance, in a compact form factor.

May 10, 2007 Re: Modular Transmitter Approval FCC ID: TFB-APEX Gentlemen, The following information is being provided per the requirements of DA00-1407 regarding modular approval of Part 15 devices. This transceiver is a complete RF module with an integral reference oscillator. External connections are provided for power and data communication. The following numbered items correspond to similarly numbered paragraphs in DA00-1407. Each item is a response to the requirements of that document. 1) The module has integral RF shielding to isolate it from surrounding equipment and the larger environment in general. 2) All inputs are processed as data by the on-board microcontroller. The outside user has no direct control of transmit modulation. 3) There is a 1.8V voltage regulator on board that powers the radio and the power amplifier. 4) Either an integral PCB – trace antenna or a Nearson S131CL-5-RMM-2405S antenna with an MMCX connector is used with this module. This is in accordance with Part 15.203. 5) The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration and found to be compliant with Part 15 regulations. 6) An FCC ID label is affixed to each unit at the time of manufacture. Information is also clearly presented in the user guide about labeling requirements for the final assembly. 7) This unit is compliant with Part 15.247. Installation and other requirements are presented in the user guide to allow the unit to be correctly installed. 8) The unit is complian t with the RF exposu re requir emen ts of Parts 15.247 and 2.1091.
