Piri 2096 Radio Module
User Manual

General Information

This document is intended as a manual to describe how to integrate the Piri 2096 radio module into end products.
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

Description of module

The module utilizes Lora modulation which uses Chirp Spread Spectrum modulation (CSS) for RF communication at 2.4 GHz and ARM Cortex M MPU as the controller for the RF circuit.

Block diagram

The module is preprogrammed with Piri proprietary communication stack with API for easy implementations of function-based module design and general GPIO:s along with external/integrated reset/factory restore function and indication LED:s for communication status. The connection can be either by PCB edge connectors or through the optional flex strip connector (J1).
The system is over-air upgradable without loss of functionality during the process on both stack and user module.
The module can be used for different control applications that need secure communication channels.
Automatic provisioning of the module at the installation site for minimum work effort on site.
The module has an integrated antenna. Other antenna solutions are not allowed.

  1. Communication Frequency and Settings
    The communication frequency spans over the 2402->2480 MHz band.
    All Piri systems are geo-positioned before RF communication can start as it automatically selects the regional settings required for compliance with RF communication in different regions.

  2. Transmission
    The module utilizes LBT/FHM time slot-based protocol to handle the transmission between devices.

  3. Master- >slave
    The Piri system uses the Master->Slave communication protocol to reduce re- transmission and structure the communication into predefined transmission slots so it can handle a large number of radio devices simultaneously.

Specification

  1. Electrical
    The voltage input range of 4.5->12VDC.
    Current consumption: <30 mA
    Communication signals: 3.3V

  1. Environment
    The module is intended for indoor usage:
    Operational temperature: 0 ->60 degrees
    Humidity: 20->80 % (non-condensing)

  2. Mechanical and installation
    As the module is intended for different solutions the mechanical structure is done so it can be both mounted as an SMT mountable component, as a remote positioned part within the system with a flex strip, or by USB micro connection.
    Size (Width x Length x Height): 30 x 40 x 5.5 mm
    For SMT mounting the following PCB footprint can be used (mm):
    Do not exceed peak temperature and slope time between preheating and peak solder zone.

  3. Label
    The module is fitted with an identifying label on the RF shield box as shown in the picture below.
    Label information contains the following:
    PIRI 2096: Product Marketing Name
    XX: Production year
    YY: Production week
    2AX9P-2096: FCC ID
    26748-2096: ISED Certification number
    2096-103: HVIN

Module features

  1. Connectors
    The module has a number of communication I/O:s that can be used in order to communicate with the controller through the flex strip connector J1 [1] or the castellated connection points on the PCB [2]. A connector pad J4 [1] is on the PCB for evaluation of environmentally introduced RF properties.
    The USB connector and J1 is an options. The J100 and J4 connector is solely used for development purpose and not mounted on the production units.

  2. Reset button
    The module is optionally fitted with a reset or factory restore button SW100 [1]. To factory reset the device press the button while turning on the power to the device. Indicator LEDs:s will toggle when a factory reset has been performed.

  3. Indication LED:s
    The module is fitted with 2 LEDs indicating the status of the unit and communication D100, D101 [1].

Compliance Information

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Statement
WARNING:
Cancer and Reproductive Harm www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Compliance statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operations is subjected 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

Warning
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Nordic Light AB could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Interference statement
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, 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 the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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.

It is the host manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure continued compliance with FCC requirements once the module has been installed into the host product.

Innovation, Scientific and Economic Development Canada (ISED) Statement

Radiation Exposure Statement for Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS. Operation is subjected to the following two conditions:

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

This equipment is exempt from the routine RF exposure evaluation requirement of RSS-102. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the antenna and the user or bystanders.
Antenna warning
PIRI 2096 has been approved by ISED to operate with the onboard antenna. Any modifications to the antenna on this device is strictly prohibited.

End Product Labeling
PIRI 2096 has been labeled with its own FCC ID and IC Certification number. The end product manufacturer must ensure that FCC and ISED labeling requirements are met. If the FCC ID and IC certification numbers of PIRI 2096 are not visible when the module is installed in another device, then the device must have a clearly visible label containing the following information.
Contains FCC ID: 2AX9P-2096
Contains IC: 26748-2096
It is the host manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure continued compliance with ISED Canada requirements once the module has been installed to the host product.
