Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What should I do if the antenna gain is higher than specified?
A: If the antenna gain exceeds the specified maximum gain of 1.4dBi, it is strictly prohibited for use with this device. -
Q: How should I ensure compliance with FCC and ISED Canada regulations?
A: Follow the guidelines provided in the user manual, perform necessary tests, and maintain the required distance between the antenna and users as specified.
User Manual
- FCC ID of this product is as follows.
- FCC ID: NZLEG-01-AC-00
- For OEM integration only – device cannot be sold to general public. Therefore we will ask OEM to include the following statements required by FCC on the product and in the Installation manual Notice.
List of Applicable Rules
- 47 CFR Part 15B
- 47 CFR Part 15C
- RSS-247
Specific Operational Use Conditions:
Please perform the antenna design that followed the specifications of the
antenna. The concrete contents of a check are the following three points.
- It is the same type as the antenna type of antenna specifications. Confirm the same size as the Gerber file.
- An antenna gain is lower than a gain given in antenna specifications. Measure the gain, and confirm the peak gain is less than the application value (1.4dBi)
- The emission level is not getting worse. Measure the spurious, and confirm degradation of less than 3dB than spurious value of worst of report used for the application. However it is spurious defined below.
It is the responsibility of the module integrator to follow appropriate guidelines per KDB996369 D04 and this document for appropriate evaluation and spot checking.
Limited Module Procedures:
Not applicable.
Trace Antenna Design
This layout is taken from the original approval for FCC ID: VPYLB1DX.
The BOM for the feed into the antenna:
- Murata module
- 0 ohm resistor
- 2.7nH inductor
Additional components are not populated.
There is no copper flood underneath the antenna.
RF Exposure Considerations
- When installing it in a mobile equipment. Please describe the following warning to the manual.
- This equipment complies with FCC and ISED Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC and ISED Canada radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.
- When installing it in a portable equipment.
- It is necessary to take a SAR test with your set mounting this module.
- Class II permissive change application is necessary using the SAR report.
Note
- Portable equipment : Equipment for which the spaces between human body and antenna are used within 20cm.
- Mobile equipment : Equipment used at position in which the spaces between human body and antenna exceeded 20cm
- IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC/ISED Canada authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC/ISED Canada 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.
Antenna:
The module transmitter, NZLEG-01-AC-00/4112A- EG01AC00, has been approved to
operate with the following antenna types, with the maximum permissible gain
indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater
than the maximum gain indicated are strictly prohibited for use with this
device.
| Type of Antenna | Max Gain of Antenna: | Frequency Range |
|---|---|---|
| PCB Trace | 1.4dBi | 2402-2480MHz |
Label And Compliance Information
End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in
device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained
between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a
visible area with the following:
“Contains FCC ID:XXXXXXXXXX and IC: 4112A-xxxxxxxxx”. The grantee’s FCC/ISED
Canada ID can be used only when all FCC and ISED Canada compliance
requirements are met.
Manual Information To the End User
- The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
- The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
- For OEM integration only – device cannot be sold to general public. Therefore we will ask OEM to include the following statements required by FCC/IC on the product and in the Installation manual
- Please describe the following warning on the final product which contains this module.
Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: NZLEG-01-AC-00
Or
- Contains FCC ID: NZLEG-01-AC-00
- Please describe the following warning to the manual.
- 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.
FCC CAUTION
- Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
- This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
- When the product is small, as for these words mentioned above, the posting to a manual is possible.
- This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference; and
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements:
It is recommended that the host product manufacturer, installing the
modular transmitter, perform investigative measurements to confirm the
resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious emissions limits or
band edge limits in accordance with KDB996369. The testing should check for
emissions that may occur due to intermixing of emissions with the other
transmitters, digital circuitry, or due to physical properties of the host
product. This is especially important when integrating multiple modular
transmitters where the certification is based on testing each in a stand-alone
configuration. New host configurations, require Class II Permissive Change
filing by the grantee
Additional Testing & Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer:
The modular transmitter is only FCC and ISED Canada authorized for the
specific rule parts listed on the grant, and the host product manufacturer is
responsible for compliance to any other FCC and/or ISED Canada rules that
apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of
certification.
