4.0 DESCRIPTION
The Graco GNET FHSS RF Transceiver Module is a frequency hopping
spread spectrum transceiver capable of 2-way transportation of message
packets in the 900 MHz ISM band. A standard serial interface operating at 3
volts CMOS levels is used to communicate with the host device. Exact
protocol and messaging details are available in the Graco GNET FHSS RF
Transceiver Module Host Interface Protocol document.
The host device supplies power through the interface connector in
accordance with the operating voltage and current requirements.

7.0 MOUNTING LOCATION
In order to maintain compliance with the FCC modular certification it is
necessary to mount the module in such a way that user is never closer than
20 cm to the antenna.
The manual for end users of the product must contain a warning about the
20 cm separation as outlined in Section 10.0.
Additionally, the transceiver may not be co-located with any other antenna or
transmitter.
8.0 ANTENNAS
Compliance with FCC regulations may only be maintained using the
specified antennas. The orientation of the antennas is controlled as a
requirement on the engineering documentation.
Re:
248292 RF Board
248293 RF Daughter Board
The specified wire antenna will be attached at the factory and should not be
altered.
9.0 LABELING REQUIREMENTS
The FCC requires that the Part 15 statement be installed on the outside of
the final product in a manner which allows it to be seen and read. The
accepted statement and a sample label format are as follows:
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.
Contains FCC ID: JHIGNET
IC: 4840A-GNET
MODEL: XXXXXX
Graco Inc.
P.O. Box 1441
Minneapolis, MN
55440, U.S.A.
The label should be printed or molded into the case using a type front and
size that is readable with the unaided eye. The FCC identification number is
required.
10.0 RF EXPOSURE
This module has been designed to comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements outlined in Parts 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247(b)(4). Deviation
from the recommended installation may violate RF exposure requirements.
The Graco GNET RF Transceiver Module is limited in application to products
“generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20
centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating
structure(s) and the body of the user and nearby persons.”
11.0 FCC NOTIFICATIONS
The Graco GNET FHSS RF Transceiver Module generates radio frequency
energy. It must be installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines or it
has the potential to cause interference with other radio devices. Testing has
been performed to assure that it conforms to the FCC Part 15 rules for
intentional and unintentional radiators.
No further EMI compliance testing of the transmitter is required as long as
the 20 cm separation and co-location requirements are observed. Each new
use of the module will, however, always need to be scanned for unintentional
radiation from digital clocks, etc.
All necessary calibration has been performed at the time of manufacture.
Any modification of the device after it leaves the factory is a violation of FCC
rules.
Compliance Statement (Part 15.19)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. 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.
Warning (Part 15.21)
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65)
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting
devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed at locations
where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna
and all persons.
