Included in the kit are two Matrix modules and a quick start guide to demonstrate the communication link between the two modules. Also included is a GUI interface referred to as the Matrix Evaluation Test Tool (TT) to quickly communicate with the RF modules. The Evaluation software demonstration is presented in Chapter 4. The important features provided by the evaluation software are: • Short and Long Addressing • Configurable Digital and Analog I/O • Demonstrating a Wireless Link • Packet Error Rate Statistics. 1.2 Contents The Matrix Evaluation Kit Contains: † Two RF Modules with Firmware Loaded and Soldered to the Interface Modules † Two Interface Modules † Two RS-232 Interface Cables † 4 AA Batteries † 1 CD (includes User’s Guide, Host Protocol Document, EICD, and Matrix Evaluation Tool “Setup.exe” file) 5 CHAPTER 2 Quick Start 2.1 Board Description The Matrix module is a 2.4GHz 802.15.4 data transceiver module based on the Chipcon CC2430 Low Power 8051/Transceiver device. It provides enhanced range performance with either a 10mW or 100mW* power amplifier. The module also contains an integrated PCB trace antenna. Power is supplied by the host device through the interface connection in accordance to the operating voltage requirements with a nominal operating voltage of +3.3V. Exact details on the interface connections and messaging are available in the Matrix Electrical Interface Control Drawing. Figure 2-1. Top-Side of RF Matrix Module Figure 2-2. Top Side of Matrix Interface Board * Operation is Limited to 10mW Maximum for European Union Compliance 6 2.2 Operational Overview The quick start demonstration presented in this chapter is referred to as the ping pong test. The ping pong test allows an end user to easily verify communication between two transceivers and get a feel for the quality of the link via feedback of the flashing LEDs. Operation involves two boards, with one designated as a master device and the other as a slave device. The master periodically transmits packets to the slave. If the slave receives and verifies the packet, it will flash its LEDs and transmit an acknowledgement to the master. If the master receives and verifies the acknowledgement, it will flash its LEDs. In normal ping pong mode, LEDs indicate signal strength (two LEDs on indicate high signal strength, one LED indicates low signal strength). If the LEDs do not light, the packet or acknowledgement was not received. 2.2.…

Modular approval request letter uses an incorrect FCC ID (missing "P" at the end). Corrected modular approval request letter attached 2. Can 10mW power amplifier setting be changed for this 10mW module by the OEM installers? Manual mentions power amplifier 10mW/100mW option. Please clarify. The 10mW module power amplifier setting is fixed to 10mW. The 100mW module referenced in the user’s manual is a separate module to be certified separately. The user’s manual is intended to be common for both modules in the family. 3. Item 3 of the modular approval request letter, mentions 2.4 -3.6V range for the power amplifier. Page 38 of the report shows that unit was transmitting a 3.9VDC level. Has the operating voltage range of the module been verified to see unit actually refuses to transmit beyond the 2.4 -3.6V range? The test results presented on the module used specific test code that does not prevent operation outside the declared operating voltage range. The application code that is provided to the OEM user’s has this functionality included and it has been tested and verified. 4. An RF exposure exhibit is needed; showing that maximum of conducted power or EIRP level for the module is below the low threshold of 60/f(GHz) and therefore it complies with FCC's RF exposure limits for a portable device. MPE calculation should not be used for portable devices. Compliance with the exposure guidelines of 47 CFR 15.247 document attached. 5. Manual must include warning against collocation with any other antenna or transmitter as part of the RF exposure warnings as follows: "This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter." Revised User’s Manual attached.

June 14, 2007 Re: Modular Transmitter Approval FCC ID: TFB-MATRIXLP 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 that powers the radio circuits other than the power amplifier. The microcontroller monitors the amplifier power supply voltage on a continuous basis. Should the supply voltage be found to be greater than the specified maximum of 3.6 volts the unit will refuse to transmit. The minimum operating voltage is declared as 2.4 volts. 4) An integral PCB – trace antenna 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 compliant with the RF exposure requirements of Parts 15.247, 15.1091, and 15.1093. Further information may be obtained from L.S. Research, LLC Sincerely, David Neperud W66 N220 Commerce Court, Cedarburg, Wisconsin 53012-2636 BUS 262.375.4400 FAX 262.375.4248 www.lsr.com

Compliance with 47 CFR 15.247(i) “Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. See § 1.1307(b)(1) of this Chapter.” The Matrix module can be considered a portable transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1093(b). The antenna is internal to the unit and permanently attached. The antenna is a printed F- antenna with +2.8 dBi gain. The maximum peak conducted output power is 8.23 dBm (6.65 milliwatts). The maximum peak power (EIRP) is 12.68 mW for FCC ID: TFB-MATRIXLP. The transmit frequency is 2405 to 2480 MHz, therefore the unit does not require routine SAR evaluation per “TCB Exclusions List”, footnote 3. The exposure category is “General Population”. The distance is <2.5cm. Therefore the “Low Threshold” is 24.5 mW (EIRP) – above which routine SAR evaluation would be required. Since the maximum peak power of the EUT is 12.68 mW (peak EIRP), routine SAR evaluation is not required. This radio is compliant with the requirements of 15.247(i).
