3.6 RF EXPOSURE CONSIDERATIONS

The antennas of TWN4 Palon Compact M Light must be installed to meet the applicable RF exposure compliance requirements and any additional testing and authorization process as required.
Refer to Chapter “Safety information” for detailed information about the radio frequency exposure conditions applicable to the product. These RF exposure conditions must be stated in the end-product manual(s) of the host device manufacturer.

ANTENNAS
TWN4 Palon Compact M Light is equipped with the following antennas:

Integrated RFID LF antenna (125 kHz)

Dimensions: 27.00 x 27.50 mm / 1.06 x 1.08 inch
Number of turns: 179

Integrated RFID HF antenna (13.56 MHz)

Dimensions: 39.00 x 42.50 mm / 1.54 x 1.67 inch
Number of turns: 3

For more information, refer to the related product data sheet or other relevant technical documents.

LABEL AND COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
Refer to Chapter “Compliance statements” in the user manual of the TWN4 Palon Compact family and to Chapter “Integrator and host requirements” in this integration manual for detailed label and compliance information.

TEST MODES AND ADDITIONAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS

No specific testing method has been defined by ELATEC for TWN4 Palon Compact M Light.
The product has been tested and found in compliance with the specifications noted on the approval certificates and other relevant approval documents. However, the integrator is still responsible for any additional testing and authorization processes required for the end product.
It is recommended that the host device manufacturer installing the modular transmitter perform some investigative measurements to confirm that the resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious emissions limits or band edge limits (e.g., where a different antenna may be causing additional emissions). Detailed information regarding the test procedure is described in the relevant rule parts (refer to Chapter “List of applicable rules”).

ADDITIONAL TESTING, PART 15 SUBPART B DISCLAIMER
TWN4 Palon Compact M Light is only FCC-authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and the host device manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. In addition, the final host system still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with TWN4 Palon Compact M Light installed.

INSTALLATION

TWN4 Palon Compact M Light can be fixed into the host device with two screws M2.5.
Observe the minimum separation distance recommended by ELATEC when the host device already contains other RFID devices (refer to Chapter “Safety information”) and avoid the use of ferromagnetic screws, as these screws could reduce the reading performance of TWN4 Palon Compact M Light.

INTEGRATOR AND HOST REQUIREMENTS

AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS
TWN4 Palon Compact M Light has been certified as a module and does not need further approval, provided that the module is used under the FCC grant conditions and no limitations or usage conditions have been defined by ELATEC. However, the host manufacturer must ensure that the host device still complies with all applicable regulations after the module integration.
In particular, the host integrator installing TWN4 Palon Compact M Light into their device must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB 996369.

LABELING REQUIREMENTS

FCC AND ISED CANADA

Using a permanently affixed label, TWN4 Palon Compact M Light must be labelled with its own FCC and IC identification numbers.
FCC ID: WP5TWN4F10
IC: 7948A-TWN4F10
In case this label is not visible anymore after integration into the host device, it is necessary to bring a label on the host device (on a visible and accessible place) stating the FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated TWN4 Palon Compact M Light:
Contains FCC ID: WP5TWN4F10
Contains IC: 7948A-TWN4F10
In case several modules have been integrated into the host device, the label should state all FCC and IC identification numbers of the integrated modules.

Example:

“Contains FCC IDs: XXX-XXXXXXX, YYY-YYYYYYY, ZZZ-ZZZZZZZ”
“Contains transmitter modules IC: XXXXX-XXXXXX, YYYYY-YYYYYY, ZZZZZ-ZZZZZZ”

ARGENTINA
If the RAMATEL identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the external part of the main device must also have a label that refers to the module it contains. This external label must contain the RAMATEL identification data of the approved product preceded by the legend “CONTIENE” (contains), for example:

BRAZIL

The end device itself or it’s manual must contain the following information:
Incorpora produto homologado pela ANATEL sob número 05887-21-07558.

SOUTH KOREA

In case the product is not visible anymore after integration in the host device, the host device manufacturer shall bring a label on the host device (on a visible and accessible place) stating the KCC identification number, e.g.:
Contains KCC ID: R-R-EPH-T4PalonCMLight

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors, are required to comply with the emission limits, the instruction manual shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of the text describing the installation of the device.

SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSION
When the host product supports simultaneous transmission operations, the host manufacturer needs to check if there are additional RF exposure filing requirements due to the simultaneous transmissions. When additional application filing for RF exposure compliance demonstration is not required (e. g. the RF module in combination with all simultaneously operating transmitters complies with the RF exposure simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion requirements), the host manufacturer may do his own evaluation without any filing, using reasonable engineering judgment and testing for confirming compliance with out-of-band, restricted band, and spurious emission requirements in the simultaneous-transmission operating modes. If additional filing is required, please contact the person at ELATEC GmbH responsible for the certification of the RF module.
