INNCOM I5RF Radio Datasheet
Outdoor/ RF line-of-sight range
Overview
The INNCOM I5RF radio modules provide the INNCOM e528
with a common radio platform. The I5RF radios are used in
point to point in-room networks and in mesh network topologies
at 2.4 GHz.
Features
Footprint compatible with the IR5 eye
Adapts to an e528 or an e528.4G
2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver (CC2430 radio core)
Low power and long range variants available
Industrial temperature ratings 0–65 C°
FCC Part 15C
Table 1 INNCOM I5RF Radio Specifications
Performing an RF link quality test using two identical e528.3G thermostats containing radios as defined in tables
2 and 3 determined the ranges. A 95% overall link quality defined the maximum distance threshold. Outdoor
range tests were conducted in a low noise, free air environment. Indoor ranges were tested for reference (ambient
environmental noise floor and building construction materials affect indoor ranges).

Only approved antennas can be used with this module. Additional antennas would require an application filing
with the FCC in order to have them approved. Antennas which have either a higher gain or are of a different
type may not be used, with this module, unless additional certification is obtained.
