About this Document
This document is a product manual for the B2CH052AA 5 GHz WLAN Radio
Module, including its limitations on use in any product marketed or offered for sale.
It is intended as a supplement to training and documentation by BelAir Networks
Inc. or its authorized agents.

B2CH052AA Product Manual
Introduction
The B2CH052AA (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 4.9 – 5.9 GHz radio
module compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation. It
is designed to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology.
The module contains a complete 802.11a radio and Medium Access Control (MAC)
protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11a module.
The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a
complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antenna
(hereafter referred to as “the product” or the “final product”).
The module can be used in both the licensed 4.9 GHz public safety band and the 5
GHz unlicensed bands.
Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be
directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It can
only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for that
purpose.

In order to comply with the FCC and Industry Canada rules in the USA and Canada,
respectively, it is required to respect the maximum transmit power limits as follows
for each of the antenna types as indicated in the Table: Maximum Conducted
Output Power.
* P2P indicates that the rated transmit power is only permissible for use in point-topoint links. For point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint links the power
must be reduced as shown.
Warning: Use of this module in conjunction with any antenna not expressly
listed above will void authority to install or operate this equipment.
Warning: Setting of module transmit power above the limits specified in the
above table for a particular combination of antenna type, frequency of operation,
and type of usage, will exceed FCC or Industry Canada limits and void authority to
install or operate this equipment.

Product Installation
Products which contain B2CH052AA-A shall only be installed by professional installers
trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. This product is to be installed on
fixed permanent structures. In addition to normal installation procedures and good
installation practice, professional installers are responsible to ensure that:
1. Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, and,
2. The antenna is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access to the
antenna by the general population is minimized. Access to the antenna by the general
population should be limited to more than the minimum safety distance. This distances
are outlined according to product type and whether high gain antennas are used:
Adherence to these rules by the professional installer is mandatory. See full installation
procedures for the particular product for details.
Product Labeling
The following permanent label, or one containing equivalent information, must be
affixed in a conspicuous location on the exterior of every product containing this
module:

Installation and use of this device must be in strict accordance with the instructions
included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or
modifications to this product not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference to radio or television
equipment caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or attachment of any
antennas or equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer. The
manufacturer or its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for
any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing to comply
with these guidelines.
Manufacturer’s FCC Conformity 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.
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 and Part 90 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
Page 12 of 14
B2CH052AA Product Manual
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.
Manufacturer’s Industry Canada Conformity Statement
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of
23 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
This device has been designed to ensured that radio frequency emissions are
maintained within the band of operation under all normal operating conditions listed
in this manual.
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.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not
more than that required for successful communication.
This Class B Digital apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

RF Exposure Statement
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C and found to
be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b)
(4) addressing RF exposure from radio frequency devices.
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C and found to
be compliant to the requirements set forth in CFR 47 90.1335 and Sections 2.1091, 2.1093,
addressing RF exposure from radio frequency devices.
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment.
The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. However, this device should still be installed and used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to comply with
RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standard, this equipment should be installed
and operated at a minimum distance between the radiator and a human body. This minimum
distance is:
