FCC Certication
The AW2400mR OEM RF Module complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. Compliance with labeling requirements, FCC notices and
antenna regulations is required.
Labeling Requirements
In order to inherit AvaLAN’s FCC Certication, compliance requires the following be stated on the device and within its operation manual:
FCC ID: R4N-AW2400MR 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.
Label Warning WARNING The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly
visible label on the outside of the nal product enclosure that displays the contents shown in the gure below.
Figure A.1. Required FCC Label for OEM products containing the AvaLAN AW2400MR OEM RF Module
Contains FCC ID: R4N-AW2400MR
The enclosed 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 Notices
Adherence to the following is required:
IMPORTANT: The AW2400MR OEM RF Modules have been certied by the FCC for use with other products without any further certication (as
per FCC section 2.1091). Changes or modications not expressly approved by AvaLAN could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT: OEMs must test their nal product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section 15.107 and 15.109) before declaring compli-
ance of their nal product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT: The AW2400MR OEM RF Modules have been certied for xed base station and mobile applications. If modules will be used for portable
applications, the device must undergo SAR testing.
Note: 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 o and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiving module.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiving module is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
Fixed Base Station and Mobile Applications
AvaLAN Modules are pre-FCC approved for use in xed base station and mobile applications. When the antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (7.87”)
from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application.
Portable Applications and SAR Testing
When the antenna is mounted closer than 20 cm to nearby persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an additional test
be performed on the nal product. This test is called the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and measures the emissions from the module and
how they aect the person.
RF Exposure
(This statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals.)
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices. Antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
Antenna Warning
WARNING: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas listed in Table 1 below. When integrated into
OEM products, xed antennas require installation preventing end-users from replacing them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed
in the table below must be tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section 15.247 (emissions). To fulll FCC
Certication requirements:
1. Integrator must ensure required text [Figure 1] is clearly placed on the outside of the nal product.
2. AW2400MR Module may be used only with Approved Antennas that have been tested with this module.
Antenna Type Maximum Gain
Omni ≤ 15dBi
Yagi ≤ 15dBi
Panel ≤ 19dBi
This Ethernet Module is approved for use only with specic antenna, cable, and output power congurations that have been tested and approved
for use. Modications to the module, the antenna system, or to the power output that have not been explicitly specied by the manufacturer
are not permitted and may render the radio non-compliant with applicable regulatory authorities. The radio equipment described in this manual
emits radio frequency energy. Professional installation is required. The antenna(s) for this transmitter must not be collocated or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When using PANEL antennae with gain above 17.8dBi (but below the 19dBi limit), ensure the
cable attentuation between the radio module and antenna is equal to the amount of gain above 17.8dBi. Example: the 19dBi antenna requires
1.2dB of cable loss to maintain compliance to FCC/IC EIRP limits. The recommended cable length when using the 19dBi PANEL antenna is 6ft of
LMR200 cable.
