enovate ENV2SOM Single Board Computer Instruction Manual
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide information on how to use an ENV2SOM as a radio module when integrating it into a host product. Incorrect integration or use may infringe compliance rules meaning recertification may be required.
Module Description
The ENV2SOM module has an IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac 1×1 WLAN, Bluetooth 5, and Bluetooth LE module based on the Cypress 43455 chipset. The module is designed to be mounted, with appropriate screws or standoffs, into an end product. The module must be placed in a suitable location to ensure WLAN performance is not compromised. The module contains an on-board dual band WLAN + Bluetooth antenna.
Integration into Products
Module & Antenna Placement
A separation distance greater than 20cm must always be maintained between the antennas and any other radio transmitter if installed in the same product.
The module is physically attached and held in place by screws and/or standoffs.
In order to connect the module to the system, a Type-C USB cable can be connected to J1 on the board to supply power. The supply should be 5V DC at a minimum of 3A. Alternatively, power can also be supplied via the 40pin header (J8). Connect pins 1 and 3 to 5V and Pin 5 to GND. The 40pin connector also provides a variety of GPIO and serial bus connections that can be used to interface to the module.
Depending on intended usage, the following ports can be connected: Type-C USB, Micro HDMI, Audio, Ethernet, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, DSI Display or CSI Camera. The module also has a micro-SD cart interface for boot-loading custom images to the ENV2SOM.
40pin Header Power Pin Assignments
ENV2SOM Port Connections
Any external power supply used with the ENV2SOM shall comply with relevant regulations andmn 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 on board is a dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) PCB niche antenna design licensed from Proant with peak gains of 3.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 2.3 dBi at 5 GHz. It is important that the antenna is placed in a suitable place inside the product to ensure optimal operation.
End Product Labelling
A label is to be placed on the exterior of all products containing the ENV2SOM module. The label must contain the words “Contains FCC ID: 2AQ9D-ENV2SOM” (for FCC) and “Contains
IC: 24335-ENV2SOM” (for ISED).
FCC
ENV2SOM FCC ID: 2AQ9D-ENV2SOM
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received including interference that causes undesired operation.
Caution: Any changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply within 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 or more of the following measures:
- Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For products available on the USA/Canada market, only channels 1 to 11 are available for 2.4GHz WLAN.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance with FCC’s multi-transmitter procedures.
This device operates in the 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range and is restricted to indoor use only.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement; Co-location of this module with other transmitter(s) that operate simultaneously are required to be evaluated using the FCC multi-transmitter procedures.
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The device contains an integral antenna hence, the device must be installed so that a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons is maintained.
ISED
ENV2SOM IC: 24335-ENV2SOM
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
For products available on the USA/Canada market, only channels 1 to 11 are available for 2.4GHz WLAN. Selection of other channels is not possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with IC multi-transmitter product procedures.
The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum separation distance of 20cm between the device and all persons.
Additional Integration Information for the OEM
It is the responsibility of the OEM / Host product manufacturer to ensure continued compliance to FCC and ISED Canada certification requirements once the module is integrated into the Host product. Please refer to FCC KDB 996369 D04 for additional information.
The module is subject to the following FCC rule parts: 15.207, 15.209, 15.247, 15.403 and 15.407
Changes in Usage Conditions for 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 use that involves a separation distance ≤20cm (Portable usage) between the Module’s antenna and any persons is a change in the RF exposure of the module and, hence, is subject to a FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and a ISED Canada Class 4 Permissive Change policy 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 a FCC Class 2 Permissive Change and a 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.
