1.0 OVERVIEW

Thank you for choosing the IPPAN4 module by Wattstopper. This manual will guide you through the process of installing the module.

IPPAN4 embeds wireless IPv6-based communication into each Wattstopper or host device, and uses wireless mesh networking technology to connect to the internet. Each IPPAN4 module has a unique IPv6 address and “smart” functionality which enables wireless data gathering, communication, and control of the host device.

The IPPAN4 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. IPPAN4 provides a diverse set of I/O options such as serial interface or general purpose I/O. IPPAN4 is comprised of a microcontroller, transceiver, amplifier, and two antennas.

3.0 Modes of Operation

The final use and application of IPPAN4 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
IPPAN4 enters 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 IPPAN4 moves out of idle mode and into data processing mode. In this mode IPPAN4 can processes information and act on data accordingly.

Receive Mode
When a 802.15.4, or BLE, compliant message is received by the transceiver and it’s either addressed for IPPAN4 or broadcast the device can be said to be in receive mode. In receive mode IPPAN4 validates data and address before accepting the message for processing.

Transmit Mode
In this mode IPPAN4 generates an 802.15.4, or BLE, compliant message that can be sent directly to another IPPAN4 or broadcast to all other IPPAN4 modules within radio range. Transmission mode is preceded by user interaction, a data logging event, a network maintenance message or as a response to a message acknowledgement request.

4.0 INSTALLATION

IPPAN4 will come pre-programmed from the manufacturer, and in many cases pre- installed in a device. If you have elected to install IPPAN4 in house, it is important to understand how to handle, install, and use properly.

4.1 DESIGN GUIDELINES

• The IPPAN4 Module is designed either to be surface mounted.
• Standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling the module.
• 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)

FIG 6.0

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. IPPAN4 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 user’s manual or operator instruction guide for the final commercial product. Specific details on this text can be found in section 5.0.

5.0 AGENCY CERTIFICATIONS

Operating Requirements and Conditions
The design of IPPAN4 complies with FCC and IC safety levels of radio frequency (RF) exposure for Mobile devices.

Mobile Device RF Exposure Statement
RF Exposure – This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of separation distance between the IPPAN4 device and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.

Caution Statement for Modifications
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Wattstopper could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Notices
IPPAN4 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 an installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 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 IPPAN4 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• 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 for help.

You must include the following text in final commercial product manual:

The enclosed 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

This device complies with Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.247 of the FCC Rules, This device IPPAN4 should not collocate with other radio.
