INFORMATION

RE: Modular User Manual
Statement: the module is not for sale to third parties — it is a limited module. It is only sold to customers as part of a complete Parker sensor product.
Per the FCC’s guidance here:https://apps.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=1SjvWefMMUr61bRufmPyxw%3D%3D&desc=996369%20D03%20OEM%20Manual%20v01r01&tracking_number=44637) If the modular transmitter is only approved for use by the grantee in its own products and not intended for sale to third parties, the integration instructions may not be detailed but this must be declared in the filing. In that case, it is permitted to place the instructions in the theory-of- operation exhibit folder using long-term confidentiality. The applicant must include a statement in the filing that the module is not for sale and the user manual integration instructions are internal confidential manufacturing documents. The grant of certification for such a modular transmitter must be limited. Reference Information as follows:

Description

The Parker SensoNEXT RF module (part number QX-008-798) is an MCU+RF transceiver + interface for integration into IoT sensor products produced only by Parker Hannifin corporation. As such it is a limited single modular transmitter, and the module is not for sale to outside companies. The RF section is based on the Texas Instruments CC1352R Multi-Band Wireless MCU. The MCU incorporates one RF section that has 2 RF sections that it switches between to support:

  1. 2.4GHz frequencies for Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 communications.
  2. Sub-GHz frequencies for IEEE 802.15.4 communications.

The Sub-GHz RF output is capable of operating at 900MHz (FCC markets) or 868MHz (for CE markets), an external antenna (Parker QX-008-387) is connected to J9 and supports both of these frequency ranges.
The 2.4GHz BLE output is routed thru an RF switch/connector J10. An external antenna (Parker QX-008-1018) may be connected to this connector. If the antenna is not connected, the switch function of J10 routes the RF signal to an on-board chip antenna (A1) for short range communication. Note, J9 and J10 are physically not compatible, so the external antennas cannot be connected to the incorrect port. The two RF outputs are connected to a singe radio inside the CC1352R and thus are physically incapable of operating simultaneously. The CC1352 transceiver, RF balun, and power regulator are covered by an RF shield (Parker QX-008-1008)

Antenna Change Notice to Host manufacturer If you desire to increase antenna gain and either change antenna type or use the same antenna type certified, a Class II permissive change application is required to be filed by us, or you (the host manufacturer) can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID&IC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change application. FCC other Parts, Part 15B Compliance Requirements for Host product Manufacturer This modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts listed on our grant, 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. Host manufacturer in any case shall ensure host product which is installed and operating with the module is in compliant with Part 15B requirements. Please note that For a Class B or Class A digital device or peripheral, the instructions furnished in the user manual of the end-user product shall include the statement set out in §15.105 Information to the user or such similar statement and place it in a prominent location in the text of host product manual. Original texts as follows:
For Class B
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 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 the receiver.
  • Connect the equipment to 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.

For Class A
Note: 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.
