Installation Manual
Model name: FBLE-2020TI
**Features
**
- 2.4GHz RF transceiver compatible with Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.1 and earlier LE Specifications
- Single-ended or differential RF interface
Description
The device is a 2.4GHz wireless microcontroller (MCU) supporting Bluetooth® 5.1 Low Energy and Proprietary 2.4GHz applications. Bluetooth basic rate use GFSK modulation, where an instantaneous data rate of 1 and 2 Mbit/s are possible.
Important Notice to OEM integrators
- This module is approved for OEM installation only.
- This module is approved for operation in FORTINET Network Security Gateway, models as described in this filing.
- Additional testing and re-certification will be necessary when the conditions outlined in this OEM installation manual are not fully satisfied.
- The host manufacturer is responsible for additional EMI/EMC testing to verify compliance as a composite system. When testing the host device for compliance with FCC Part 15 Subpart B/ISED ICES-003, the host manufacturer is required to show compliance while all the transmitter module(s) are installed and operating. The modules should be transmitted and the evaluation should confirm that the module’s intentional emissions are compliant (i.e. fundamental and out of band emissions). The host manufacturer must verify that there are no additional unintentional emissions other than what is permitted in the rule(s) or emissions are compliant with the transmitter(s) rule(s).
- For RF Exposure requirement: The host manufacturer must verify that the module continues to comply with the RF exposure limits for each host device. The preliminary assessment is normally required to determine if an additional certification for RF Exposure is needed.
End Product Labeling
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC/IC ID label must be
visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an
access panel, door or cover is easily removed. If not, a second label must be
placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text:
“Contains FCC ID: TVE-111T15C”;
“Contains IC: 7280B-111T15C “
The FCC ID/IC ID can be used only when all FCC/IC compliance requirements are
met.
Antenna Installation
Only the same or equivalent-type as shown below may be used with this module. Other un-equivalent types of antennas may require additional authorization for operation. The equivalent type means the same type that results in similar in- band and out-of-band radiation patterns.
| Antenna type | 2.4GHz band Peak Gain (dBi) |
|---|---|
| PIFA | 0.74 |
Manual Information to the End User
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory notices as show in the following section.
Federal Communication Commission regulatory notice:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
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 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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment for operation in qualified FORTINET Network Security
Gateway device only.
Industry Canada regulatory notice:
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply
with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt
RSS(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
CAN ICES-3(B)/ NMB-3(B)
This equipment complies with ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment for operation in qualified FORTINET Network Security
Gateway device only.
