Document history

Generally

The module is not sold separately and is exclusively used for systems of HBC- radiometric. The module is only used in professional industrial radio applications.
For integration in the host devices, these integration instructions define requirements for installation, safety instructions written in the host manual, and the labeling requirements.
Changes or modifications made to this module not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance may void the authorization to operate this equipment.
The module is exclusively approved for the integration into host devices by the Grantee or his authorized OEM integrator (hereinafter called “integrator”).

FCC notes

2.1. Section 15.19
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.

2.2. Section 15.21 Statement
Changes or modifications to the unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2.3. Section 15.105 (a) Statement
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.

IC notes

3.1. RSS-GEN – User Manual Statements (English/French)

License exempt
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS. 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.

RF exposure statement

This RF module will be integrated with internal and external antennas in different host devices. For each final host device, the RF exposure conditions to comply with FCC / ISED requirements will be individually defined and the user instructions of the host device will have appropriate installation or usage instructions. In general, the final host device will be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact including bystanders during normal operations is minimized.

Integration instructions for host product manufacturers according to KDB

996369 D03 OEM Manual v01

5.1. List of applicable FCC / ISED rules

5.2. Specific operational use conditions
Depending on the used antenna type (internal/external) the RF Module can be either integrated in portable or mobile/fixed categorized host devices.
The maximum allowed antenna gain is 6,0 dB.
RF Exposure considerations must be done for each individual host type/antenna combination.
The module is a class A device in terms of §15.3 (h).
5.3. Limited module procedures
This RF module is exclusively approved for the integration into host devices by the Grantee or his authorized OEM integrator.
5.4. Trace antenna designs
TC242 has an onboard antenna. This onboard antenna cannot be changed by any other parties. The module is not sold separately, the statement thereto sees chapter 1.
5.5. RF exposure considerations
For all final host devices, the RF exposure is observed in the integration process. A distinction is drawn between portable devices and mobile/fixed devices.
For portable devices:
For any application, the necessary separation distance between the radiating part (antenna) and the human body incl. bystander will be calculated based on the module output power in combination with the antenna gain of the used antenna and position with respect to FCC KDB447498 and ISED RSS-102.

For mobile/fixed devices:
The device is categorized as mobile/fixed where a minimum separation distance of >20 cm between the antenna and any human body is assured during normal operating conditions.
For RF exposure the following RF Exposure Warning will be included:
“To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter”.

5.6. Antennas
The antenna that is used in connection with TC242 depends on the host device (e.g. portable, mobile fixed device).
All usable antennas for TC242 modules are listed in the document “17_CDESTC242 Antenna Specification”.

5.7. Label and compliance information
The TC242 is marked in accordance with applicable rules, see document “06-07_CDES_TC242_Label”.
The host device will be labeled as follows:
The host must be labeled as applicable with:
Contains FCC ID NO9TC242
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.

Contains IC: 2977A-TC242

5.8. Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
This RF module is exclusively approved for the integration into host devices by the Grantee or his authorized OEM integrator. The integrator is responsible for the compliance of the final product that incorporates this transmitter module.
In case special test modes are necessary it will be done within the individual integration process depending on the features of the host.
5.9. Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The RF module itself is not a subpart B device. The host device in which the module will be installed has to be observed under applicable requirements of §15.101 – §15.123.

5.10. Statements for host manual
Statement FCC §15.105 for host 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.

Statement ISED for host manual
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

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

Modification statement, FCC §15.21
In the host manual the following statement will be included:
“Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.”
