User Manual SM3000 OEM module 3/27Ambient Systems B.V. SM3000 SmartPoint OEM module SmartPoints are part of Ambient’s Series 3000, which comprises a set of easy to install and use, highly scalable Third Generation Active RFID network products. Such networks consists of three types of devices, namely GateWays, MicroRouters and SmartPoints. Each network contains at least one GateWay and – depending on the type of GateWay – can comprise up to 127 MicroRouters. SmartPoints then use this backbone infrastructure to transmit their data and alerts. The SM3000 is the OEM module version of the SP3000 SmartPoint. The SP3000 SmartPoint is a small, battery operated wireless device that is uniquely characterized by its intelligence. Using its on-board transceiver it can transmit as well as receive messages. The SP3000 and SM3000 OEM module have a highly accurate on-board temperature sensor and are able to provide periodic measurements as well as alert situations when temperature thresholds are breached. They also contain a built-in 3D Real-Time Location System (RTLS) localization engine, enabling the SmartPoint to calculate its own position relieving the necessity of expensive back office localization software. The SM3000 OEM module contains as well a LED for visual feed-back, 1 MB of memory, for storing product information (e.g. EPC, shipping bill, product description) and historical sensor and location data. 3000 Series Networks can grow up to thousands of SmartPoints allowing for very large and versatile applications. Their transceiver enables on-demand behaviour but also allows you to configure the SmartPoint remotely. So if your application requirements change, the behaviour of the SmartPoint can change with it. The SP3000 and SM3000 SmartPoints are ideally suited for management by exception as you can configure your SmartPoint to only sent alerts when a certain situation arises; this is what we refer to as Dynamic Event Reporting. Every SmartPoint is accessible using Ambient's Device Driver Interface (DDI). DDI provides a uniform means to address all devices in your network – GateWays, MicroRouters and SmartPoints – and their resources, which are made available by drivers.

Modular Approval Requirements Modular Approval is being requested for this device. There are eight requirements that the device must meet for full modular approval. The following paragraphs detail these requirements and the manner in which the device meets them. The module meets all of the technical specifications applicable to the frequency band of operation. The module has its own RF shielding. The module has an 18 x 18 x 4mm tin-plated brass shield that covers the essential radio components. It is located near the middle of the PC-board as shown in the following photo All modulation and data input(s) are buffered. In an organized, periodic manner, the SM3000 processor, a sub-section of the radio chip (U1 – CC2430, samples digital data inputs introduced to the Module. Data buffering and formatting takes place within the SM3000 processor, so the actual input data amplitude or rate does not directly modulate the RF carrier and therefore cannot change the actual RF output level or emission spectrum. The module has its own power supply regulation and local reference oscillator. The radio chip (U1) contains internal voltage regulation to ensure RF output power and modulation remains consistent. The reference oscillator is crystal- based (X51). The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The certification submission contains a detailed description of the configuration of all antennas that will be used with the module. The module has an integral antenna (pc-board trace) that cannot be modified or connected to. There is no mechanism provided for connecting an external antenna. For Industry Canada, the module meets certification labeling requirements. Host devices that contain separately certified modules do not need to be re-certified, provided that they meet the following conditions: • The host device, as a stand alone unit without any separately certified modules, complies with all applicable Radio Standards Specifications. • The host device and all the separately certified modules it contains jointly meet the safety requirements of RSS-102, if applicable. • The host device complies with the certification labeling requirements of each of the modules it contains. The module has a label applied as follows: Additionally, the manufacturer’s name is silkscreened on the PC-board. For the FCC, the modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. The SM3000 Module was tested as a ‘stand-alone’ device for radiated spurious emissions and found to comply. Since the device is only battery powered, AC- conducted emissions tests were not applicable. For the FCC, the modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID 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 referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” The device is appropriately labeled and the required information to the integrator is provided within the User Manual – SM3000 OEM Module, page 22. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. The SM3000 module conforms to the above requirement. (The Module’s output power is approximately 18 mW EIRP.)
