Banner Engineering RF Module Implementation Guide Purpose: This guide is intended as an internal guidance document to ensure that the radio module identified is installed in Banner Engineering equipment in an appropriate manner so as to comply with the conditions of the original FCC grant and IC certificate. Applicability: RF module FCC ID.: UE3RM7023, IC: 7044A‐RM7023 Antennas: The module was certified with the following antennas.
PAGE 2
FCC specific statements:  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.
PAGE 3
 To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.  This device complies with Industry Canada licence‐exempt RSS standard(s).

Overview The Banner RM7023 device is a frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver operating in the 902 – 928 MHz band. When mounted to a carrier board containing a microcontroller and voltage regulator, the pair is known as the DX180. The DX180 employs a time-slotted architecture to support point to point, point to multipoint, peer to peer and TDMA network topologies.
PAGE 5
Average time of occupancy Under no circumstances will this scheme result in violation of the FCC maximum for average time of occupancy on a given channel. The period of interest for the FCC is 10 seconds. Average time of occupancy on a channel may be calculated as follows. 1. Let TFCC be the period of interest for the FCC rules. (TFCC = 10 seconds.) 2. Calculate the # of hops, Nhops, of the hop table in the period of interest. Nhops = TFCC / Tslot 3.
PAGE 6
Output power control For output power regulation as described in 15.247(b)(2), permitted output power vs. hopping channels is as follows: The control firmware limits output power to less than 24 dBm when utilizing less than 50 channels, and less than 30 dBm when utilizing 51-64 channels. Antenna Choices The following classes of antennas (Table 1) were tested and approved for use with the RM7023. The device is always professionally installed and uses unique connectors.
PAGE 7
Statement of End Product Control Banner will control end products in two primary ways. The first way is through the business model: the RM7023 will not be for sale on the open market. The business model that the RM7023 will be produced under is one of reusing the RM7023 across multiple versions of Banner’s own internal products, or with close co-development efforts with trusted Banner partners, which could culminate in Banner-manufactured devices being sold under another brand.
