Key features
This section describes the key features of the Trimble Comm board Hurricane
device.
Antenna
This section describes the antenna requirements for both WLAN and Bluetooth
for the Trimble Comm Board Hurricane device. There are two approved antenna,
described in Table 2 and Table 3.
Connector Interface
The connector interface for the Trimble Comm Board Hurricane is a female 6 pin FFC connector (top contact). The host interface is USB 2.0. Figure 1 shows the connector pinout.
Board Configuration
A board configuration file is supplied for each regulatory domain the module
is certified for. One for FCC/ISED and one for ETSI. Board configuration files
must not be altered as they control radio-specific parameters which have been
tested against the respective regulatory domains.
The module integrator must ensure the correct configuration file is used by
providing a region-locked controller with any product integrating the Trimble
Comm Board Hurricane module. This controller must provide a region code to the
host system without user intervention and must not allow the user to change
the region code. The host system will use this region code to load the correct
board configuration file.
Compliance Information
FCC/IC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- this device may not cause harmful interference, and
- this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution
- Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
- Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
- This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
- Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warning
This equipment complies with Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
User Information
Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user`s authority to operate this equipment.
This radio transmitter Trimble Comm Board Hurricane module has been approved
by FCC to operate with the Pulse/Larsen W5029RPG antenna,or the Data-Alliance
ADD35RA antenna, with the maximum permissible gain of 3.3 dBi in the 2.4 GHz
band, and 6 dBi in the 5 GHz bands. Use of an antenna having a gain greater
than the maximum gain specified, are strictly prohibited for use with this
device and will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The module integrator may only include this module in a product designed for
outdoor use if they prevent operation on channels 36 to 48 when operating
within the Canadian regulatory domain. Allowing use of these channels outdoors
within Canada will void the authority to operate the equipment.
The module integrator may only include this module in a product if they
prevent operation on channels 120, 124 and 128 on 20 MHz and 118 and 126 on 40
MHz when operating within the Canadian regulatory domain. Allowing use of
these channels within Canada will void the authority to operate the equipment.
The host product incorporating this radio module shall be labelled as follows
to be in compliance with FCC/IC regulations:
- “Contains FCC ID: YK5-73350046”/ ‘’Contains IC ID: 9288A-73350046’’
- “This device may not cause harmful interference and must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation” – This statement can be in the user manual of the final product in case it is impracticable to place it on the label.
ETSI Adaptivity Declarations of Conformance
