RF Module Integration Instructions
This module is not for sale and is only to be used within host products designed by Current Lighting
Solutions, LLC (the manufacturer of the module).
Applicable FCC Rules
• CFR47 FCC Part 15, Subpart C, 15.207
• CFR47 FCC Part 15, Subpart C, 15.209
• CFR47 FCC Part 15, Subpart C, 15.212
• CFR47 FCC Part 15, Subpart C, 15.247
• CFR 47 FCC Part 2, 2.1091
Operational Use Conditions
The input voltage to the module should be nominally 3.3VDC and the ambient temperature of the module
should not exceed 85C.
No trace antennas are used in this module. If the RF module’s on-board chip antenna is not used in the host
product, then the host product’s antenna should only be installed when the host product is manufactured.
(The antenna is not field replaceable.) The antenna 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, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter evaluation procedures.
RF Exposure
This module has been granted modular approval for fixed facility and mobile applications that maintain a
distance of 20 cm from a person’s body.
To comply with FCC / IC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF
radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss in a mobile-only or fixed application exposure
condition must not exceed 2.5 dBi.
Qualified Antennas
The radio transmitter with FCC ID: 2AS3F-A1028250 and IC: 25008-A1028250 has been approved by
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with
the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater
than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
This module has been tested and certified with the on-board chip antenna and with an external antenna
connected to the RF pad (P30). External antennas permitted to be used with this module must meet the
following requirements:
• The antenna must be one of the following types: chip antenna, connectorized coaxial PCB or
connectorized coaxial patch antenna
• The antenna must have a maximum gain of: 2.5 dBi
• The antenna impedance must be 50Ω.
• The antenna must use a unique antenna connection such as a miniaturized coaxial connector (such as a
U.FL or IPEX connector) or a component footprint within a printed circuit board layout.
