Compliance Jumper (H1)

The compliance jumper is used to enforce limits set by local agencies on WiFi channel usage and output power. This jumper must be placed on the pins described in this section that correspond to the location where the Wireless Network Control will be operated. If the jumper is set incorrectly, the Wireless Network Control will be out of compliance with local agencies. If the jumper is not set at all, the Wireless Network Control will operate at a reduced power-level, which will reduce the performance of the Wireless Network Control.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that the Compliance Jumper is set to meet local standards. Incorrect settings will cause the board to be out of compliance and may lead to reduced range and loss of WiFi channels.

Device Classifications and Transmission Evaluation

Device Classifications

Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations, module integrators shall follow the guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission, and seek guidance from their preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact device compliance. Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected schedule delays and costs due to unplanned testing activities.

The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device and the user's body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only; strict adherence to a device classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as near-body device design details may vary widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the appropriate device category for your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the FCC.

Note, the module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the host / module combination will need to undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which are required on the host / module combination.

FCC Definitions

Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop transmitters), the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy classification of that device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are responsible for determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate (SAR), field strength, or power density, whichever is most appropriate.

Simultaneous Transmission Evaluation

This module has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission as it is impossible to determine the exact multi-transmission scenario that a host manufacturer may choose. Any simultaneous transmission condition established through module integration into a host product must be evaluated per the requirements in KDB447498D01(8) and KDB616217D01, D03 (for laptop, notebook, netbook, and tablet applications).

These requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or certification when: The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is ≥20 cm,
• Or Antenna separation distance and MPE compliance requirements for ALL simultaneous transmitting antennas have been specified in the application filing of at least one of the certified transmitters within the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are incorporated in a mobile host device, the antenna(s) must be ≥5 cm from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas.
• All antennas in the final product must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
