RX001 component side RX001 back side (visible when mounted)
Certified antennas:
1) built-in F-antenna on circuit board (0 ohms mounted as R1, no UFL
connector).
2) UFL connector mounted and connected to shortened vertical dipole via
150mm UFL to RPSMA-bulk cable.
3) UFL connector mounted and connected to full-length vertical dipole with
130mm integrated coax cable.

1) F-antenna (No UFL connector) 2) Antenna with RPSMA 3) Antenna with fixed
connector and cable UFL connector
Mounting:
1) Connect the antenna cable to the radio module using the UFL connector (antenna
2 or 3 only).
2) Insert the module components down in the two mating 2*10 pole connectors
while observing correct orientation. The module firmware will recognize the
equipment in which it is inserted and adjust transmit power and protocol mode
accordingly.
Operation:
The operation of the radiolink established by two or more modules is entirely
embedded into the Epoke Epomaster control system and requires no user interaction.
Warning:
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at
least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This
device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter

Statements related to FCC certification:
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.
Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the
Epoke will void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: 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.
Statements related to Industry Canada certification:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of
3dB . Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations af
industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antennatype and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
