MRF24J40MC
3.4 Australia/New Zealand
The MRF24J40MC module conforms to compliance
levels 1, 2 and 3 in Australia and levels of conformity 1,
2 and 3 in New Zealand as required by notices under:
• Section 182 of the Australian
Radiocommunications Act 1992;
• Section 407 of the Australian Telecommunications
Act 1997; and
• Section 134 of the New Zealand
Radiocommunications Act 1989.
3.4.1 MRF24J40MC SETTINGS
To meet ETSI requirements, the following settings must
be observed by the integrator:
• The MRF24J40MC transmit power setting shall
not exceed 10.7 dBm (RFCON3 0x203<7:3> =
00111). Refer to
Section 1.3.4, Transmit Power
Settings. This is to meet the requirements of ETSI
EN 300 328 v1.7.1 (2006-10), Maximum e.i.r.p.
spectral density limit, Section 4.3.2.2, “For wide
band modulations other then FHSS (DSSS,
OFDM, etc.), the maximum e.i.r.p. spectral
density is limited to 10 mW per MHz”.
• Only channels 11 through 25 may be selected
(RFCON0 0x200).
3.4.2 APPROVED EXTERNAL ANTENNA
TYPES
The MRF24J40MC module was tested with the
antenna types listed in Table 3-5. In order to use the
emissions testing listed in Table 3-3, the same antenna
type, antenna gain (equal to or less than), and
MRF24J40MC power setting as listed in Table 3-5
should be used. Additional emissions testing will be
required by the integrator for any antenna types not
tested with the module and listed in Table 3-5.
