SCOPE
The purpose of the document is to describe how to assembly the Radio Module 4G
into ALIO Style / ALIO
Vend devices.
FCC PRESCRIPTIONS
The optional LTE HL7618RD Radio module, in order to be compliant with FCC requirements, must respect the following:
-
The LTE HL7618RD Radio module has been approved for use in the USA (United States of America)
-
The LTE HL7618RD Radio module is not suitable for use in Canada
-
At least a 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.
-
The LTE HL7618RD Radio module must not transmit simultaneously with NFC Antenna or Bluetooth.
-
When the LTE HL7618RD Radio module is installed inside the product, the provided label bearing the writing “This device contains FCC ID: N7NHL7618RD” must be applied to the product as stated in the Radio module assembly manual.
-
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only exposure condition must not exceed:
o 5 dBi in LTE Band 4
o 9 dBi in LTE Band 13 -
The installation of the LTE HL7618RD Radio module must be done by authorized personnel.
Changes or modifications made to the equipment not expressly approved by MADIC ITALIA S.P.A. may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
RADIO MODULE OVERVIEW
The Radio module mounts a Sierra Wireless HL7618RD (FCC ID: N7NHL7618RD) and
interfaces itself with the terminal through a custom connector (only Radio
Module designed by MADIC ITALIA can be interfaced with the terminal).
The Sierra Wireless HL7618RD has fixed carrier VERIZON and hence can be used
only in the USA.
ASSEMBLY OF THE 4G RADIO MODULE INTO ALIO STYLE
This operation must be done by the authorized personnel that performs the
terminal installation.
The terminal must be powered off and disconnected from the power supply during
the execution of the activities.
-
Remove the plastic cover on the back of the terminal as shown in Image 1.
-
Insert the 4G radio module into the cavity present in the back plastic cover of the terminal, taking care to align the holes in the 4 corners of the module with the 4 plastic turrets in the terminal cavity as shown in Image 2.
-
Before insert the SIM, unlock the metal SIM cover sliding it toward the right. Lift up the connector and insert the SIM. (Image 3).
Close the metal SIM cover and lock it sliding it toward the left. (Image4) -
Insert the Radio Cover on the terminal as shown in Image 5
ASSEMBLY OF THE 4G RADIO MODULE INTO ALIO VEND
The terminal must be powered off and disconnected from the power supply during the execution of the activities.
-
Remove the SIM cover on the back of the terminal as shown in Image 6.
-
Before inserting the SIM, unlock the metal SIM cover sliding it toward the right. Lift up the connector and insert the SIM. (Image 7).
Close the metal SIM cover and lock it sliding it toward the left. (Image8) -
Insert the SIM Cover on the terminal as shown in Image 9.
4G RADIO MODULE ANTENNA
The antenna of the 4G radio module must be connected to the SMA connector. The antenna must have a cable with a length of more than 1 meter. At least a 20 cm separation distance between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.
