OEM Installation Guidance
SL-RFM-P001 reader
FCC ID: 2A7AM-RFM001
Host Mounting Requirements:
Before installing the SL-RFM-P001 reader to the host, you must mount the SL- RFM-P001 in a location and environment that meets the following requirements:
- Ensure that the location is within the cabinet of host, and ensure that any part of the module is not exposed outside the cabinet;
- Ensure that the location is dry;
- Ensure that the location is within the operating temperature -20℃~55℃;
- Mount the module in a high location as possible. Mounting the module below ground level can reduce the range of the system;
- Mount the module in a location that is far away from sources of interference, such as electric motors, heating, air conditioning units, and other sources of electrical noise. Large metal object like heating ducts and plumbing can also shield the electromagnetic waves;
- Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the rear of the unit;
- Ensure the power supply voltage always within 4.5~5.5Vdc / 200mA
OEM Installation Notes:
- OEM integrators must ensure that its product is electrically identical to SHENQI’s reference designs. Any modifications may invalidate regulatory approvals in relation to the product, or may necessitate notifications to the relevant regulatory authorities.
- The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instruction to remove or install module.
- The OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed. e.g. a Class II Permissive Change (C2PC) must be filed with the FCC and/or a new FCC authorization for the host device.
- OEM integrator shall not modify and change the fixed designed PCB print antenna, and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters, otherwise, a Class II Permissive Change (C2PC) must be filed with the FCC and/or a new FCC authorization must be applied.
- Appropriate labels must be affixed to the product that complies with applicable regulations in all respects. The regulatory label on the final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following “Contains TX FCC ID: 2A7AM-RFM001” or “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2A7AM-RFM001”. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19 statement is required to be available in the users’ manual: 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.
- A user’s manual or instruction manual must be included with the product that contains the text as required by applicable law shall be provided to OEM integrators. They may include:
- For a Class A digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
For a Class B digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished the
user shall include the following or similar statement, placed in a prominent
location in the text of the manual:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digitial 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 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.
—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.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
OEM/Integrator may cause harmful interference and void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
RF Exposure
This device has been evaluated and shown compliant with the FCC portable RF
Exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
7. Per FCC Rule parts 15.225
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts
15.225 listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is
responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not
covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
The modular transmitter NO its own RF shielding, and tested in a stand-alone
configuratio. A Class II Permissive Change (C2PC) must be filed with the FCC
and/or a new FCC authorization for the OEM host device.
The module was designed with the fixed PCB print antenna, any changes or
modifications by the OEM integrator will require additional testing and
evaluation.
The module has been evaluated and shown compliant with the FCC RF Exposure
limits under portable exposure conditions. OEM integrator shall equipped the
antenna to compliance with antenna requirement part 15.203& 15.204 and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitters.
The antenna of the module was deisgned as PCB printed on the PCBA board and
the best gain is 0dBi.
Modification the antenna design may need additional testing and evaluation.
8. Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
This transmitter module is tested as a subsystem and its certification does
not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B (unintentional radiator) rule requirement
applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed
for compliance to this portion of rule requirements if applicable.
As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their
end‐product for any additional compliance requirements required with this
module installed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co‐location with another transmitter), then
the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be
used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be
responsible for re‐ evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and
obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance with any other FCC
rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of
certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B
compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
9. OEM/Host manufacturer responsibilities
OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the
Host and Module. A Class II Permissive Change (C2PC) must be filed with the
FCC and/or a new FCC authorization for final product. The final product must
be reassessed also against all the essential requirements of the FCC rules
such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This
includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and
EMF essential requirements of the FCC rules. This module must not be
incorporated into any other device or system without retesting for compliance
as multi‐radio and combined equipment
FOR PORTABLE DEVICE USAGE
The product comples with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
