Raspberry Pi Trading Zero 2 RPIZ2 Radio Module Installation Guide

Installation Guide for Raspberry Pi Zero 2
Module Integration

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide information on how to use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 as a radio module when integrating into a host product.
Incorrect integration or use may infringe compliance rules meaning recertification may be required.

Module Description

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 module has an IEEE 802.11b/g/n 1×1 WLAN, Bluetooth 5, and Bluetooth LE module based on the Cypress 43439 chip. The module is designed to be mounted, with appropriate screws, into a host product. The module must be placed in a suitable location to ensure WLAN performance is not compromised.

Integration into Products

Module & Antenna Placement
A separation distance greater than 20cm will always be maintained between the antenna and any other radio transmitter if installed in the same product.
The module is physically attached and held in place by screws
In order to connect the module to the system micro USB power cable is connected to J1 on the board. The supply should be 5V DC minimum 2A. Power can also be supplied on the 40 Pin GPIO header (J8); Pins 1 + 3 connected to 5V and pin 5 to GND.
Dependent on intended usage the following ports can / should be connected;
Mini HDMI
USB2.0 ports
CSI Camera (for use with Official Raspberry Pi Camera Module, sold separately)

Any external power supply used with the Raspberry Pi shall comply with relevant regulations and standards applicable in the country of intended use.
At no point should any part of the board be altered as this will invalidate any existing compliance work? Always consult professional compliance experts about integrating this module into a product to ensure that all certifications are retained.

Antenna Information

The antenna onboard is a 2.4GHz PCB niche antenna design licensed from Proant with Peak Gain: 2.4GHz 2.5dBi. It is important that the antenna is placed in a suitable place inside the product to ensure optimal operation. Do not place it close to the metal casing.

End Product Labelling

A label is to be fitted to the exterior of all products containing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 module. The label must contain the words “Contains FCC ID: 2ABCB-RPIZ2” (for FCC) and “Contains IC: 20953RPIZ2” (for ISED).

Changes in Usage Conditions of this Module
This device has been approved as a Mobile device in accordance with FCC and ISED Canada requirements. This means that there must be a minimum separation distance of 20cm between the Module’s antenna and any persons
A change in the separation distance to one that is less than 20cm between the user and the antenna requires the host product manufacturer to re-assess the RF exposure compliance of the module when placed in the host product. This needs to be done as the module could be subject to an FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and an ISED Canada Class 4 Permissive Change in accordance with FCC KDB 996396 D01 and ISED Canada RSP-100.
As noted above, This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with IC multi-transmitter product procedures.
If the device is co-located with multiple antennas, the module could be subject to an FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and an ISED Canada Class 4 Permissive Change policy in accordance with FCC KDB 996396 D01 and ISED Canada RSP-100.
In accordance with FCC KDB 996369 D03, section 2.9, test mode configuration information is available from the Module manufacturer for the Host (OEM) product manufacturer.
