Introduction
This application note documents the use of the SCI_BLE chip in the SC1204 tracking device. The SCI_BLE
is based off the nRF51822 chip which is a general purpose, ultra-low power SoC ideally suited for
Bluetooth® Low Energy and 2.4 GHz proprietary wireless applications. It is built around the 32-bit ARM®
Cortex™-M0 CPU with 256/128 KB flash and 32/16 KB RAM. The flexible 2.4 GHz radio supports
Bluetooth Low Energy and 2.4 GHz proprietary protocols. The SCI_BLE module is not intended for OEM
integrators or end users.
Description
The SCI_BLE uses a proprietary protocol. The SCI_BLE listens for BLE broadcast messages. The
SCI_BLE sends out a signed broadcast message in response to a Logging Tag claiming to have data to
upload. Upon receipt of the signed broadcast message from the Logging Tags will communicate
multiple broadcast messages which the SCI_BLE will receive. It can only be installed in the CalAmp
products at the grantee manufacturing facility.
Regulatory Information
Human Exposure Compliance Statement
Pursuant to 46 CFR § 15.247of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications services (PCS)
equipment is subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in § 1.1307(b), §
2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate.
CalAmp Wireless Networks Corp.. certifies that it has determined that the module complies with the RF
hazard requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment operating under the authority of 46 CFR §
15.247 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This determination is dependent upon installation, operation
and use of the equipment in accordance with all instructions provided.
The module is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” means that
the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.
“Mobile” means that the device is designed to be used in other than fixed locations and generally in
such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the
transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The SC1204 is not designed for or
intended to be used in mobile applications (within 20 cm of the body of the user) and such uses are
strictly prohibited.
To ensure that the module complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output
power and human exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must
