MCT247 2.4GHz Modular Transceiver
User Manual

NOTE: THIS MODULE IS LIMITED TO OEM INSTALLATION ONLY

DESCRIPTION

The MCT247 is a frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver module designed to be compatible with US (FCC CFR 47 Part 15 C (15.247)), Canadian (RSS-210), EU(RSS247 Issue 2/RSS-GEN Issue 5/ANSI C63.10:2013, IEC 62368-1:2014 (Second Edition)) and Australian( ) regulations for license-free use in the 2.4 GHz ISM band from 2.407GHz to 2.470GHz. The MCT247 is designed for mobile and portable applications in accordance with Part 2.1091(b).
The MCT247 complies with ISED Limit per RSS-102 Issue 5 for the uncontrolled RF Exposure of portable devices.
The MCT247 transceiver is only integrated into Kar-Tech remote control products by Kar-Tech, at Kar-Tech. There are no user-serviceable parts on the MCT247 transceiver. The MCT247 is not for sale by itself.
The MCT247 is not designed for multiple antenna applications and should not be used to transmit simultaneously with any other transmitter.
The MCT247 is only certified to use the integrated wire antenna.
If the OEM or other use requires further compliance beyond those listed above, the OEM or User is responsible for attaining such additional certifications.

OPERATION

The MCT247 is a radio transceiver module for the 2.4 GHz ISM bands. The transceiver microcontroller includes a CPU, GPI/O, a fully integrated frequency synthesizer, a power amplifier, a modulator, and a receiver unit. The MCT247 microcontroller serial port is connected to the host via protection circuits. The data is sent through a serial port to the RF processor and then to the RF circuit to the antenna and the data received from the antenna is sent to the serial port and to the host.
The microcontroller is responsible for the control of the entire communication. The MCT247 transceiver contains a DC regulator which generates a constant 1.8 VDC for the digital circuitry. The RF section runs on the 3.3V supply.
The MCT247 uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum, which uses 16 channels, between 2.407GHZ and 2.470GHZ with a 1MHz resolution.
The receivers are matched to the transmitters to use the same channels and sequence as the transmitter’s signals.
There are no test modes built into the MCT247. Host code is to be used to ensure compliance.

INSTALLATION

1. Solder the MCT247 transceiver directly to the host’s compatible connector.
2. Print and attach the label as shown below:
3. Place a label on the outside of the host enclosure in a visible area. On the label, include the following: “Contains FCC ID: P4UMCT247” and “Contains IC: 4534A-MCT247”
4. Connect the appropriate antenna. A ¼ wavelength wire antenna.
5. Once integrated into a final product, use a spectrum analyzer to make sure the product still complies. Look for:
   a. Peak Power < 20dBm
   b. Other peaks above 1GHz should be < 74dBuv/m. Below 1GHz, they should be < 40dBuV/m.

Application Requirements:
A) Power the MCT247 Transceiver with 3.3VDC nominal voltage, with a peak current draw of 150mA.
B) Do not remove the shield on the MCT247.
C) If you use something other than the wire antenna, the unit needs separate approval.
D) The MCT247 can be installed in mobile or portable applications. See Part 2.1091 for definitions of mobile, portable, and fixed applications.
E) Do not operate the MCT247 without an antenna.
F) Documentations: In the host’s User Manual include the following:
a. That there are no user-serviceable parts in the radio modules. They should not remove or install radio modules.
b. The “Instructions To The User” section.
c. The “Industry Canada Statement”.
d. Include in the manual, “This device is granted for use in Mobile and Portable configurations, with no restrictions on antenna placement for exposure purposes.”

BEFORE APPLYING POWER!

• Check power and ground for proper polarity.
• Read the rest of this manual.

INSTRUCTION TO THE USER

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 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.

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.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENTS

This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
