MRF89XAM9A
3.2 Canada
The MRF89XAM9A module has been certified for use in
Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards
Specification (RSS) RSS-210 and RSS-Gen. Modular
approval permits the installation of a module in a host
device without the need to recertify the device.
Labeling Requirements for the Host Device (from
Section 3.2.1, RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010):
The host device shall be properly labeled to identify the
module within the host device.
The Industry Canada certification label of a module
shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the
host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled
to display the Industry Canada certification number of
the module, preceded by the words “Contains
transmitter module”, or the word “Contains”, or similar
wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:
User Manual Notice for License-Exempt Radio
Apparatus (from Section 7.1.3 RSS-Gen, Issue 3,
December 2010):
User manuals for license-exempt radio apparatus shall
contain the following or equivalent notice in a
conspicuous location in the user manual or
alternatively on the device or both.
3.2.1 MRF89XAM9A SETTINGS
To meet Industry Canada (IC) requirements, the
following settings must be observed by the integrator:
3.2.1.1 FSK Modulation
The following settings configure the MRF89XAM9A for
wideband digital modulation techniques that conform to
the requirements of RSS-210 Issue 8 Annex 8. These
settings allow for higher radio frequency (RF) output
power and greater link budget.
• Bit Rate Setting: 50 - 200 kbps
- Transmit Power Maximum Setting:13 dBm
• Bit Rate Setting: 2 - 40 kbps
- Transmit Power Maximum Setting:7 dBm
• Frequency Deviation Setting: 200 kHz
• Data Whitening: On
• Transmit Bandwidth Setting: 400 kHz
• Lower Frequency Setting: 902.800 MHz
• Upper Frequency Setting: 926.500 MHz
3.2.1.2 OOK Modulation
The following settings configure the MRF89XAM9A for
narrowband operation that conform to the requirements
of RSS-Gen Issue 3. RSS-Gen Issue 3 requires a
much lower power setting than is allowed in Part RSS-
210 Issue 8 Annex 8. These settings are good for
applications that require lower transmit power current
consumption and shorter transmit distances.
• Transmit Power Maximum Setting:1 dBm
• Bit Rate Maximum Setting: 16 kbps
• Frequency Deviation Setting: 200 kHz
• Transmit Bandwidth Setting: 400 kHz
• Lower Frequency Setting: 902.330 MHz
• Upper Frequency Setting: 927.500 MHz
