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).

Table 5 INNCOM I5RF Safety / Regulatory
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.
"All Final Products containing the INNCOM I5RF 202-515 module must contain the following statements on their
label:"
This device contains FCC ID: GTC202515I5RF. The I5RF radio is only to be used in INNCOM products.
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.
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 of the following measures:

FCC Reports for I5RF Module
-- 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 All Final Products containing the INNCOM
I5RF 202-515 should keep a safe distance of at least 20cm from all persons. The final product cannot be co-located
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Modifications not expressly approved by INNCOM International Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
