Kit Contents 2 x SmartRF™ Transciever EB (TrxEB) 2 x CC110LEM 868/915 MHz 1 x CC113LEM 868/915 MHz 1 x CC115LEM 868/915 MHz 1 x MSP430 Debug Probe (FET) 2 x Micro USB Cables 1 x Standard USB Cable 1 x 14-pin Flat Cable The 868/915 MHz RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified and tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE over temperatures from 0 to +35°C. FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance FCC Part 15 Class A Compliant IC ICES-003 Class A Compliant (* picture may deviate) 2. TrxEB Overview Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive components. Handle with care to prevent permanent damage. 3. Plug the EM into the TrxEB Insert a CC110LEM into the TrxEB. Do not use excessive force on the EM. The EM has a PCB antenna, so there is no need for an external antenna. You can also use CC113L and CC115L for the Per test, but note that CC113L is a receiver only and CC115L is a transmitter only. 4. Select Board Mode Use the switches S1 and S2 to select the operating mode of the board. For the sake of this quick start guide, please select “Enable” and “UART”. This configuration will make it possible to communicate directly with the MSP430 over a virtual COM port on the PC. 5. Power Options There are several ways of applying power to the TrxEB.  2 x 1.5V AA Non-Rechargeable Alkaline Batteries  USB (5V through USB plug)  External Power Supply (requirements below)  MSP430 Debugger When the power source is batteries or USB, the voltage regulators on the TrxEB will set the on- board supply voltage to 3.3VDC. External Power Supply 1 Requirements: Nom Voltage: 3.3VDC Max Current: 800 mA Efficiency Level V Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or property damage, never use rechargeable batteries to power the board. 6. Select Power Source Depending on the power source, make sure you connect jumpers to the appropriate pins on the “Power Source” header. For instance, if you use batteries, use a jumper to short-circuit pin 1 and 2 on the header. The last jumper in the row (pin 9- 10) should always be mounted, unless the MSP430 FET is used as the power source. Note that there should only be one active power source at any one time. Do not leave the board powered when unattended. 7. Welcome Screen Turn on power with the Main Power switch. You should now see the Texas Instruments logo and a short description of the buttons on the LCD. Pushing any of the five buttons on the board will take you to the main menu. NB! If you don’t see anything on the screen make sure the mode switches are in the correct positions (see step 4 above). 8. Packet Error Rate Test Select the PER (Packet Error Rate) test by highlighting the selection using the up/down buttons. Confirm your selection by pressing Enter (right button). 9. Select Test Mode The PER test can be run is several modes. Easy Mode sets up a one-way test and uses default settings. This test is convenient for practical range testing. The other test modes are described in the “TrxEB RF PER Test Software Example User’s Guide”, available on the kit web page. To proceed, highlight “Easy Mode” and press Enter (right button). 1 When using an external power supply, make sure it meets the listed requirements in addition to complying with applicable regional product regulatory and safety certification requirements such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE. EM Connectors MSP430 Breakout USB EM Breakout Main Power Switch Power Selection Board Mode Switches LCD Buttons LEDs MSP430 Debug Interface 10. Select Frequency Select which frequency to use for the test. Make sure that the evaluation modules you have match the selected frequency. 11. Select Mode One of the boards must operate as the slave (transmitter) and the other as master (receiver). Select Slave on one board... ...and Master on the other board. 12. Establish Link The slave node will now wait for a configuration package from the Master. The configuration contains the parameters used for the PER test. The configuration package will be sent when you select “link devices” on the master node. 13. Link Established When the initial linking has completed, the slave node will start the test by continuously transmitting packets to the master. 14. Start the Receiver (master) On the master node, you can select the number of packets you want to receive in order to calculate the packet error. When selecting “Start PER Test”, the master (receiver) will begin to count the number of received packets and provide some statistics. 15. PER Test Results The master will display a window that plots the received signal strength (RSSI) for each packet. Press the “Up” button to go to the detailed statistical window. 16. PER Test Results The statistics window will show the error rate based on the number of lost or erroneous packets divided by the total number of packets that should have been received. 17. Troubleshooting It you are experiencing problems with this test, please check the following:  Nothing is shown in the display! Make sure the mode switches are in the correct positions (see step 4 above).  Please visit the kit web page and check for updated SW and documentation. Updated SW can be downloaded to the device using IAR EW430 or SmartRF Flash Programmer.  If you get poor PER results at short distances, try to move the transmitter and receiver further apart. The CC11xL receiver may experience saturation if it is too close to the other CC11xL transmitting at full output power. 18.

Texas Instruments Norway AS Gaustadalléen 21 0349 Oslo Norway (+47) 22 95 85 44 (+47) 22 95 85 46 Technical Description The CC110LEM-868-915, see Figure 1, includes Texas Instruments’ CC110L, which is a sub-1 GHz transceiver designed for low power wireless applications. CC110L has a balanced output (RF_N and RF_P), which is transformed to a single ended, 50 ohm signal through a passive component (capacitor/inductor) balun. The output of the balun is low-pass filtered to attenuate harmonic radiation and then connected to an integrated pcb helix antenna. The CC110LEM-868-915 cannot be pre-programmed and CC110L will not be in active mode (transmit or receive) at power-up. The user needs to configure CC110L into active mode. Figure 1. CC110LEM-868-915

SAR Exclusion Justification for FCC ID ZAT110LEM900 Test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm Guidance document reference: 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05r01, page 11, paragraph 4.3.1(1). The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] * [√f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where • f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz • Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation • The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison • 3.0 and 7.5 are referred to as the numeric thresholds in the step 2 below The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 5) in section 4.1 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. SAR test exclusion analysis: Assumptions: Since the exact separation distance may vary from sensor to sensor, the minimum separation distance of 5 mm is assumed per the guidance document. Max. power of channel:0.3mW Min. separation distance:5 mm Max. frequency:0.9265GHz [(Pwr/Dist)*Freq.] =0.06 The result of the above SAR threshold calculation demonstrates that the result is less than the 1-g numeric threshold of 3 and the 10-g numeric threshold of 7.5. Conclusion: The above analysis shows that the digital transmission system transceiver with FCC ID ZAT110LEM900 qualifies for exemption from SAR testing.
