IPPAN3-B
Installation Manual
Version 1.0
May 2020

OVERVIEW

Thank you for choosing the IPPAN3-B module by Wattstopper. This manual will guide you through the process of installing the module.
IPPAN3-B embeds wireless IPv6-based communication into each Wattstopper or host device and uses wireless mesh networking technology to connect to the internet. Each IPPAN3-B module has a unique IPv6 address and “smart” functionality which enables wireless data gathering, communication, and control of the host device.
The IPPAN3-B module is designed to be a self-contained IEEE® 802.15.4 and BLE compliant wireless interface to be employed in conjunction with a variety of daughter boards that maintain a stable 2.1-3.3Vdc supply. IPPAN3-B provides a diverse set of I/O options such as a serial interface or general-purpose I/O. IPPAN3-B is comprised of
a microcontroller, transceiver, amplifier, and two antennas.

Modes of Operation

The final use and application of IPPAN3-B is dependent on the firmware pre- installed at the factory. However, all applications have common modes of operations that can be summarized as follows for both the IEEE® 802.15.4 and BLE radios:
NOTE: IEEE® 802.15.4 can be used only when BLE is not in use.

Idle Mode
IPPAN3-B enters an idle mode of operation whenever the device is not in transmit, or receive mode, or when there is no data to process.
Data Processing Mode
When an interrupt, timer, frame reception, or frame transmission event occurs IPPAN3-B moves out of idle mode and into data processing mode. In this mode, IPPAN3-B can processes information and act on data accordingly.
Receive Mode
When an 802.15.4, or BLE, compliant message is received by the transceiver and it’s either addressed for IPPAN3-B or broadcast the device can be said to be in receive
mode. In receive mode, IPPAN3-B validates data and address before accepting the message for processing.
Transmit Mode
In this mode, IPPAN3-B generates an 802.15.4, or BLE, a compliant message that can be sent directly to another IPPAN3-B or broadcast to all other IPPAN3-B modules within radio range. Transmission mode is preceded by user interaction, a data logging event, a network maintenance message, or a response to a message acknowledgment request.

INSTALLATION

IPPAN3-B will come pre-programmed from the manufacturer, and in many cases pre-installed in a device. If you have elected to install IPPAN3-B in-house, it is important to understand how to handle, install, and use it properly.

4.1 DESIGN GUIDELINES

The IPPAN3-B Module is designed either to be surface mounted.
standard 20 pin footprint using the following sockets:
○ Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV
○ Samtec P/N: SMM-110-02-SM-S
Standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling the module.
The socket should be designed in a manner where the radiating structures (antenna) are away from other sensitive electronics
No antenna modifications can be made (see section 5.0)
FCC labeling guidelines must be maintained (see section 5.0)
All stated electrical maximum and minimum values must be met (see section 2.1)

4.2 END USER GUIDELINES

The module is designed to be used in fixed locations. If the end-user experiences communication problems it is recommended to move the transceivers closer to one another or purchase a repeater.
Objects including, but not limited to, steel-reinforced walls, metal electrical boxes, water, and snow may degrade the working distance between transceivers and should be avoided. IPPAN3-B is designed to operate in a mesh network, and in most cases adding nodes can help overcome communication issues.
FCC requires specific text to be placed within the user’s manual or operator instruction guide for the final commercial product. Specific details on this text can be found in section 5.0.
