Product description

The module is that the System on Module (SOM) designed according as the BIXOLON board to board specification for use with Wi-Fi6/Bluetooth 5.3 networks that provides IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and

Bluetooth SIG 5.x mobile connectivity. This module is applicable to dedicated to BIXOLON POS, KIOSK and other potable device.

The purpose of this document is to describe the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth features and specifications of the SOM and to provide BIXOLON with the information required to integrate them into products.

So, in this document, only the specifications related to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are specified, and specification related the host part (SAM9x60D1G, NAND Flash and MFI) is excluded.

But a block diagram, pin maps and power distribution network of whole SOM including SAM9x60D5MI/4FB are provided for system integration.

Application and hardware interface requirements are discussed at a high level only; for more detail, see the following chapter

Regulatory and compliance

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Interference Statement

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 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 which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution

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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Industry Canada Statement

This device complies with RSS-247 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Industry Canada Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body

Information on test modes and additional testing requirements

a) The modular transmitter has been fully tested by the module grantee on the required number of channels, modulation types and modes, it should not be necessary for the host installer to retest all the available transmitter modes or settings. It is recommended that the host product manufacturer installing the modular transmitter, perform some investigative measurements to confirm that the resulting composite system does not exceed the spurious emissions limits or band edge limits(e.g., where a different antenna may be causing additional emissions).
b) The testing should check for emissions that may occur due to the intermixing of emissions with the other transmitter, digital circuitry, or due to physical properties of the host product(enclosure).
This investigation is especially important when integrating multiple modular transmitters where the certification is based on testing each of them in a standalone configuration. It is important to note that host product manufactures should not assume that because the modular transmitter is certified that they do not have any responsibility for final product compliance.

Additional testing, Part 15 subpart B disclaimer

The final host/module combination need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device.

The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB 996369.

This appliance and its antenna must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

• OEM integrators must ensure that its product is electrically identical to the device, FCC ID:
  TDU-WBT-MSB reference designs . Any modifications to module reference designs may invalidate regulatory approvals in relation to the product, or may necessitate notifications to the relevant regulatory authorities.
• OEM integrators are responsible for regression testing to accommodate changes to designs, new antennas, and host and submit for C2PC filings.
• Colocation with other transmitter modules will be addressed through filings for those co-located transmitters when necessary or that colocation of other transmitters will be according to applicable KDB guidelines including those for RF exposure
• Appropriate labels must be affixed to the product that complies with applicable regulations in all respects. The regulatory label on the final system must include the statement:

“Contains FCC ID: TDU-WBT-MSB”.

“Contains IC Number: 6432A-WBTMSB”.

1. The module is limited to OEM installation ONLY.
2. OEM integrators are responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install module.
3. The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to Part 2.1091(b).
4. Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to Part 2.1093 and different antenna configurations.

End Product Labeling

The module is labeled with its own FCC ID & IC Number. If the FCC ID & IC number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:

“Contains FCC ID: TDU-WBT-MSB”
“Contains IC Number: 6432A-WBTMSB”.
