Once it is successfully installed, you will find the following message. FCC Statement One of the bottlenecks that many product developers encounter in incorporating any radio communication device is facing the legal aspect of qualifying the products and going to market without encountering legal problems. The Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) authorization process in the United States offers manufacturers more than one approval body. The TCB authorization process certifies devices in accordance with FCC rules and policies. The performance of the Artaflex AWP24U radio is measured according to the requirements of FCC rules. The major applicable FCC regulations are described in Section 15.247 (a) to (d). Artaflex Inc.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Any changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the device. Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the product or specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used with the installation of the product, they must be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC regulations. 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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2.4GHz DSSS USB Radio Circuit Description AWAC24U Circuit Details Artaflex Inc. CDAWAC24U Rev 1v0 215 Konrad Crescent October 25, 2010 Markham, Ontario, Canada L3R8T9 Page 1 of 2 http://www.artaflexmodules.com (905) 479-0148 Circuit Details The AWAC24U Module provides a complete USB to RF antenna wireless MODEM. The module is designed to implement wireless device links operating in the worldwide 2.4-GHz ISM frequency band. It is intended for systems compliant with world-wide regulations covered by ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.41, ETSI EN 300 328-1 V1.3.1 (Europe), FCC CFR 47 Part 15 (USA and Industry Canada) and TELEC ARIB(Japan). The module contains a 2.4-GHz 1-Mbps GFSK radio transceiver, packet data buffering, packet framer, DSSS baseband controller, Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), and SPI interface for data transfer and device configuration. The radio supports 98 discrete 1-MHz channels (regulations limit the use of some of these channels in certain jurisdictions, check datasheets or contact Artaflex for more details). In DSSS modes the baseband performs DSSS spreading/de-spreading, while in GFSK Mode (1 Mb/s - GFSK) the baseband performs Start of Frame (SOF), End of Frame (EOF) detection and CRC16 generation and checking. The baseband may also be configured to automatically transmit Acknowledge (ACK) handshake packets whenever a valid packet is received. When in receive mode, with packet framing enabled, the device is always ready to receive data transmitted at any of the supported bit rates, except SDR, enabling the implementation of mixed-rate systems in which different devices use different data rates. This also enables the implementation of dynamic data rate systems, which use high data rates at shorter distances and/or in a low-moderate interference environment, and change to lower data rates at longer distances and/or in high interference environments .

Encore III support full speed USB and connect to the PC to receive data from user application. Encore III communicate with the radio using a SPI bus interface. Encore III runs on 5V, and needs no external oscillator. An onboard regulator step down the DC power to 3.3V for the Radio Chip. The unpopulated J2 header can be used to power and debug the hardware, with few software modifications. The Radio crystal runs at 12MHz to provide reference to the internal synthesizer. A tactile switch is provided to bind the radio to other hosts in the CiFy network. It can be programmed for any other operation as well.
