Modular Use, Procedures, and Integration Instructions
The Thinkify module must only be used under the following conditions outlined throughout
this document.
Voltage:
The unit should have a stable and lower noise 5 volt supply from either the USB or the serial
interface. Noise should be less than 50 mV peak to peak and the 5 Volts supply should vary
less than plus or minus 5% under operation.
Heat:
The unit should be placed in such a manner that heat is allowed to exit the module. It is
recommended that the device be placed with at least 200 square cm of heat sink when
operating near the upper power, (above 200 mW), of the unit.
Antennas:
Only patch antennas of 6 dBil or less gain are authorized with this module. In all cases radiated
power should be kept to a minimum. All end users shall adhere to all aspects of the integration
procedures and instructions outlined in this section. This radio transmitter 9962A-100 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.
Acceptable antennas, US and Canada:
Patch antennas only. All patch antennas must have less than 6dBil gain. All must be nominally
of 50 Ohm impedance.
No other antenna types are approved at this time.
Please contact Thinkify in reference to any antennas used.
Separation:
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm in the US or
33cm, (Canada), between the radiator (antenna) and any part of any human body. The end
user must include instructions that notify all users to keep a minimum distance as above.
