DHU4 Transmitting Antenna Unit
User Manual
Picture showing the Toyota DHU4 unit to the left. Connected with a four-port
mini-fakra to the Smarteq antenna to the right.
General
DHU4 is a telematic node, intended to be mounted into a Toyota forklift. It
is always stationary installed in a forklift where it has several wired
connections e.g., power, can buses etc.
It also communicates wireless with LTE, WiFi and Bluetooth technology. It has
an external antenna connected.
Information to the user
This product is communicating wirelessly with LTE and/or Bluetooth/WiFi.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and canr adiate 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.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
- Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
- 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
- The device for operation in the band 5150 – 5250 MHz is only for indoor use to prevent harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
- The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5470 – 5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit
- The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725 – 5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.
- High-power radars are allocated as primary users of the bands 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5650 –5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices”
This device complies with ISED Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Testing has been performed on the module in a co-located configuration with
the identified module(s) to determine if new sources of interference are
created when the two transmitter modules are simultaneously transmitting.
Warning:
- This device is approved for use in a mobile rf exposure environment. A minimum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna and nearby persons.
- The module may only be co-located in a host device with the following radio modules: Quectel EG25, Quectel FC20.
List of applicable FCC rules
The following FCC rules are applicable to the equipment:
- CFR 47, Part 15, Subpart C
- CFR 47, Part 2, Subpart J – Radiofrequency radiation exposure: mobile devices
Specific operational use conditions
Most of the installations are performed at Toyota production facilities by
qualified personnel into a Toyota Forklift. However, after market
installations also exists. The user can never operate the DHU4 directly.
Important: The DHU4 transmitting antenna must be installed and operated
with minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and nearby persons.
Co-location
The following modules have been evaluated and may be co-located in a mobile
configuration.
Cellular module Quectel EG25:
FCC ID: XMR201903EG25G
IC ID: 10224A-201903EG25G
WiFi/Bluetooth module Quectel FC20:
FCC ID: XMR201703FC20
IC ID: 10224A-201703FC20
RF exposure consideration
The application conditions are ‘Class B’ product, ‘Mobile’, always at least
20cm from a person’s body.
Warning
This device is approved for use in a mobile rf exposure environment. A minimum
separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna and nearby
persons.
The module may only be co-located in a host device with the following radio
modules: Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd. FC20 and EG25.
Antennas
Smarteq Combination antenna, P/N 550237, with different cable lengths for
different forklifts.
Shortest cable length is 200mm. This length is used during certification for
all tests, since this will transmit highest RF power due to minimum of cable
loss. Other lengths exists, but it can never be shorter than 200mm.
The antenna has four antenna elements. The antenna is always connected to the
DHU4 antenna port with a Quad Mini Fakra (QMF) cable.
Antenna element LTE1
Main LTE/cellular main antenna. Can receive and transmit.
Antenna element LTE2
Main LTE/cellular diversity antenna. Can only receive.
Antenna element WiFi/Bluetooth
WiFi/Bluetooth antenna. Can receive and transmit. 2.4GHz WiFi/BT and 5GHz
WiFi.
Antenna element GNSS
GNSS/GPS antenna. Can only receive.

Information on test modes and additional test
Testing has been performed on the module in a co-located configuration with
the identified module(s) to determine if new sources of interference are
created when the two transmitter modules are simultaneously transmitting.
Additional test requirements
This module is only authorized for FCC rule parts listed on the FCC grant. The
host equipment manufacturer is responsible to test the host device for
compliance with Unintentional Radiator requirements with the modules
installed to determine if the host device in combination with the module(s) is
