User Manual Cervis Inc. Safety Precautions Read and follow all instructions. Failure to abide by Safety Precautions may result in equipment failure, loss of authority to operate the equipment, and personal injury. Use and maintain proper wiring. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions. Improper, loose, and frayed wiring can cause system failure, equipment damage, and intermittent operation.
Module SRF309 1.0 SRF309 Introduction The SRF309 receive/transmit module (RTM) is based on a single-chip radio frequency (RF) transceiver integrated circuit (RFIC), an Atmel AT86RF212B. The SRF309 RTM is intended to be integrated into Cervis Inc. products, providing a wireless RF connectivity option. The SRF309 RTM operates in the 915 MHz ISM band, using spread spectrum modulation with a maximum conducted RF transmit power of +8.60dBm at the antenna port.

Module SRF309 Type 4 Module Application Engineering: The Type 4 module requires that the host application provide suitable mechanical and electrical mounting, control and power signals, an approved antenna that is properly mounted and a proper RF transmission line to connect the RF port on the module to the antenna feed port. Mounting: This module must be mounted on a ground plane that extends at least 8mm from the RF shield edges.
User Manual 2.0 SRF309 Installation When integrating an SRF309 RTM into a host application, the user must provide all text in the “FCC Statements” and “Industry Canada Statements” in the host application’s user manual (see Forward Material). The text must not be modified in any way and presented in a conspicuous manner that the end user can be reasonably expected to access.
Module SRF309 All external connection pints designate as signal “GND” should be connected to the host application “GND” circuit so as to maintain as low a resistive and reactive impedance as practical. The PCB hosting the RTM should be fabricated with low impedance copper floods that connect to “GND”. The SRF309 RTM can safely operate with a supply voltage over the range of 3.0-3.3V with minimal changes in RF performance. Testing was performed at 3.3V, the preferred supply voltage.
User Manual SFR309 RT module must maintain an antenna separation distance >20cm away from areas that are likely to be occupied by human body parts. These separation requirements must be included in end-user manuals for host applications that include an SRF309 RT module. 2014Cervis, Inc.
