FCC-Approved Antennas (900 MHz)

Fixed Base Station and Mobile Applications

AvaLAN Modules are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile applications. When the antenna is

mounted at least 20 cm (8”) 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 final product. This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing

and measures the emissions from the module and how they affect 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.

To fulfill FCC Certification requirements:

1. Integrator must ensure required text [Figure 1] is clearly placed on the outside of the final product.

2. AW900m Module may be used only with Approved Antennas that have been tested with this module.

Table 1. Certified Antennae

Antenna Warning WARNING: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas

listed in Table 1 Appendix A. When integrated into OEM products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users

from replacing them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed in the tables must be tested to comply with FCC

Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section 15.247 (emissions).

IC (Industry Canada) Certification

Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A clearly visible label on the outside of the

final product enclosure must display the following text:

Contains Model AW900 Radio, IC: 5303A-AW900M

Integrator is responsible for its product to comply with IC ICES-003 & FCC Part 15, Sub. B - Unintentional Radiators.

ICES-003 is the same as FCC Part 15 Sub. B and Industry Canada accepts FCC test report or CISPR 22 test report for

compliance with ICES-003.
