2. Applications
The use of FSARTBAU1 radio module is limited to remote and base stations of Autec Dynamic series.
In addition to the above, this radio module cannot be installed: – inside equipment that is portable by user – in equipment that are intended for the use in environments requiring explosion-proof features or in any
usage situation that may pose the risk of explosion. – in equipment for moving, raising and transporting people, if the Machine’s characteristics and their re-
lated risks and/or the risks related to the use of a Radio Remote Control do not make it possible for the Machine Manufacturer to ensure that all the safety requirements are met. Such requirements must be taken into account when designing and manufacturing the Machine, also bearing in mind that a radio module will be used. The Machine Manufacturer may allow the installation and use of the radio module on such applications under their own responsibility. – in equipment that create or can create dangerous situations if they stop due to the loss of radio link. – in equipment that do not allow a risk-free installation of a radio module, due to their functions or features and/or to the risks related to their use. – if the applicable safety-related laws in the country where the Machine is used, regulations and standards (even local ones), even concerning safety in the workplace, do not allow the use of radio module to control the Machines.
INSTALLATION OF FSARTBAU1 RADIO MODULE IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED EQUIPMENT AND SITUATIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

3. Functional description
The FSARTBAU1 radio transceiver module is used in both Autec’s Transmitting Units (TU) and Receiving Units (RU); it is based on the commercial RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) ADF7021 made by Analog Devices, which encompasses all the circuits and functions needed to build a narrow-band, high performance, UHF transceiver for digital signaling. See Analog Devices’ website for a complete and up-to-date description of ADF7021, which is beyond the scope of this document.
This radio module has been approved to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Antenna Antenna Type for remote station Antenna gain for remote station
Antenna Type for base station Antenna gain for base station
Antenna Impedance

antenna provided by Autec Autec ANT039 <= 0dBi Autec ANT042 <= 1.23dBi 50 ohm

Autec uses only the dedicated antenna supplied either with the radio module or as original spare part. The use of any other type of antenna is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.

For Autec base stations the installer places the antenna in a position that ensures a minimum separation distance of 5mm from all the people that can be in the working area.

For Autec remote stations the position of the antenna ensures a minimum separation distance of 5mm sufficient to respect the human exposure to RF radiation limits.
