FCC Modular Certification Considerations
Novanta has obtained FCC modular certification for the Micro module. This means that the module can be
installed in different end-use products by another equipment manufacturer with limited or no additional
testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module. Specifically:
• No additional transmitter-compliance testing is required if the module is operated with one of the
antennas listed in the FCC filing.
• No additional transmitter-compliance testing is required if the module is operated with the same type of
antenna as listed in the FCC filing, as long as it has equal or lower gain than the antenna listed.
Equivalent antennas must be of the same general type (e.g. dipole, circularly polarized patch, etc.), and
must have similar in-band and out-of-band characteristics (consult specification sheet for cutoff
frequencies).
If the antenna is of a different type or has higher gain than those listed in the module’s FCC filing, see
Authorized Antennas and Cables, a class II permissive change must be requested from the FCC. Contact
us at [e-mail] for assistance.
A host using a module component that has a modular grant can:
1. Be marketed and sold with the module built inside that does not have to be end-user accessible/
replaceable, or
2. Be end-user plug-and- play replaceable.
In addition, a host product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorizations,
regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the RFID module portion. For
example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter components within the host
