5. Host Interface
The PSC autaniNet Module incorporates one Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(UART) interface dedicated to the host for communication to and from the module. Also
available is one General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and a WAKE interrupt input used to wake
up the module from low power sleep mode. The GPIO and WAKE interface connections may or
may not be used for this application. The host supplies 3.3VDC and GND to power the module.

6. Capabilities
6. Capabilities
The PSC autaniNet Module was designed to be used with 3rd party products such as Wired Wall
Switches and Motion Sensors. The PSC autaniNet Module provides a cost-effective RF
transceiver for 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee wireless networks. The PSC autaniNet Module
is based on the Ember EM358x System-on-a-chip (SoC) and has been designed to support
larger, more secure, and resilient wireless networks. The EM358x is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3
Processor with a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4-2003 RF transceiver.
The on-board EM358x (SoC) provides 24 GPIO ports to support all on-board functions such as
a Push-Button Switch, two LED’s, Flash Memory for over-the-air firmware updates and
connections for programming and debugging. All GPIO’s are configurable as input, output, or
bi-directional and have an internal pull-up or pull-down. The Push-Button Switch and LED’s are
used during installation to commission each device on the wireless network.
The PSC autaniNet Module is powered from a 3.3VDC power source provided from the 3rd Party
product (Occupancy Sensor, Wall Switch, etc.) and communicates to the 3rd Party product via a
2-wire serial connection to control the operation of the 3rd Party product – such as controlling a
relay in an Occupancy Sensor or Wall Switch.
The PSC autaniNet Module uses a wire antenna connected to J1 (IPEX4/MHF4 RF connector)
to communicate wirelessly in a mesh network topology using the ZigBee protocol (2.4GHz ISM
band).
The PSC autaniNet Module contains a shield that covers the RF circuitry.

10.1 FCC – United States
The PSC autaniNet Module complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission rules and
regulations. To continue compliance with Part 15 the end user MUST include a visible label on the
outside of the final product which indicates the internal radio module is FCC approved. The exterior
label must use wording: “This device contains: FCC ID: V8NPSC1000179”. To meet the section 15.209
emissions requirements in the restricted bands of section 12.205, the transceiver transmitter power for the
EM358X can be set no higher than +8dBm for channels 11-25 (channel 26 to be disabled). Any
modifications to the PSC autaniNet Module may violate the rules of the FCC and make operation of the
module unlawful. The user is responsible for obtaining compliance for unintentional radiators on the
final product.
FCC Statement:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE 1: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
NOTE 2: The PSC autaniNet Module complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. The PSC autaniNet Module must be installed and/or operated with a
minimum distance of 8 in. (20 cm.) between the antenna and people.
