Note:

1. In default, UART0 (pin4 and pin5) are used for bypass communication and UART2 (pin6 and pin7) are used for output of debugging information and burning firmware. Please refer to the description in DC Characteristics for UART output current level.
2. RST is the reset pin and will be effective with VIL. Configuration information will be remained after module reset. The module has pull-up process for RST designed internally.
3. The pins for reset button and LED indication should be defined according to actual firmware and circuit
4. GPIO0 and GPIO1 are hardware function pins and DO NOT pull up these two pins before power-up.
5. Pulling up both GPIO0 and GPIO13 will switch the module to firmware programming mode.

Recommendations

• The following precautions should be considered during PCB designing:
• Do not place any electrical components or grounding in antenna area on main board and it’s better to leave this area blank on PCB.
• It is recommended to not place any electrical components within 10mm range of module antenna and not design any circuit or bond copper on main board under this area.
• Do not use the module inside any metal case or containers with metal painting.
• Keep the antenna of Wi-Fi module next to the edge of main board (as shown in Fig 5) during design of PCB to ensure better performance of antenna.

Reference Design

UART Interface Design

• For devices with 3.3V power supply, you can directly connect the device UART port with module UART port according to the illustration in Fig 12.
• If your device is powered by 5V, you can refer to the circuit shown in Fig 10 or design your own circuit for power conversion. The value of resistor can be adjusted according to actual circuit design.

Power Supply Requirement

• If an LDO is used to supply the module with 3.3V power, C1 capacitor can be used with 10uF-22uF; If a DCDC is used to supply 3.3V power, C1 capacitor can be used with 22uF.
• It is recommended to supply the module with power higher than 400mA to ensure enough power supply to the module and avoid power down during data.
• The module is designed with 2x 3.3V pins. You can power the module with either pin or both pins.

FCC

Warning

• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
  NOTE: Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
  This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
  Note This module certified that complies with RF exposure requirement under mobile or fixed condition, this module is to be installed only in mobile or fixed applications.

• A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer, are considered to be mobile devices if they meet the 20-centimeter separation requirement.

• A fixed device is defined as a device that is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.

• Note Any modifications made to the module will void the Grant of Certification, this module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users, end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedure shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products.

• Note Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.

• Note The module may be operated only with the antenna with which it is authorized. Any antenna that is of the same type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional radiator may be marketed with, and used with, that intentional radiator.

• Note 5: To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter-certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated with the host, Hangzhou BroadLink Technology Co., Ltd. shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements.

• BroadLinkNote 6: FCC ID label on the final system must be labeled with “Contains FCC ID:
  2ATEV-BL3372-P-1V1” or “Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2ATEV- BL3372-P-1V1”.

• Note 7: For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplying a firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change.

• IC WARNING

• This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement:

• This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with IC multi-transmitter product procedures. Referring to the multi-transmitter policy, multiple-transmitter(s) and module(s) can be operated simultaneously without reassessment permissive change.
• This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
• This module is limited to OEM installation only and must not be sold to end-users, end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device, only software or operating procedure shall be placed in the end-user operating manual of final products.
• Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
• The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following ” Contains IC: 25062-BL3372P1V1 “.
