Notes:
1. Due to the surface mount antenna on the module, the area in ‘Zone1’ on all layers of the
customer circuit board should be free of any metal objects. Specifically, there should be no
ground plane, traces, or metal shield case.
2. The area in ‘Zone2’ on the top layer of the customer circuit board should have ground only
with no signal traces.

The lead-free solder reflow profile is recommended in the table & graph below. The profile is
used to attach the module to its host PCB.
The module is designed to withstand 2 reflows. Opposite side reflow is prohibited due to the
module weight.

11 Regulatory Information
SN3020 has obtained the certifications described below.
11.1 FCC Notice (USA)
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.
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications not expressly approved
by SyChip, Inc. may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. While an application of the
SN3020 module in a product is not required to obtain a new FCC authorization for the module, this
does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for
that end product.
SyChip/Murata Confidential Page 23 of 26 SN3020 User Manual 1.0
This device using the integrated antenna has been tested to comply with FCC CFR Part 15. The
device meets the requirements for modular transmitter approval as detailed in the FCC public notice
DA00.1407.transmitter given the following considerations:
• Maximum output power level for the channels as defined by IEEE 802.15.4 [1] must be set
to the value below using emberSetRadioPower or equivalent under NORMAL mode as
specified in [2].
o For channels 11 to 24, the value of -11
o For channel 25, the value of -17
o For channel 26, the value of -27
• Duty cycle of 67% allowed.
• The firmware disables power out if the source voltage is greater than 3.4V.
• VBATT must be between 2.4V – 3.4V.
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, or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
11.1.1 FCC Labeling Requirements
When integrating the SN3020 into a product the FCC labeling requirements must be met. This
includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the finished product specifying the SN3020 FCC
identifier (FCC ID:QPU3020) as well as the notice above. The exterior label can use wording such
as “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:QPU3020” or “Contains FCC ID:QPU3020” although
any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
11.1.2 RF Exposure
This module has been certified for remote and base radio applications and is not intended to be
operated within 20cm of the body. If the module will be used for portable applications, the device
must undergo SAR testing.
The following statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for the products to
alert users on FCC RF exposure compliance:
“WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a
separation distance of 20cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and
persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer distances than this are not
recommended.”
SyChip/Murata Confidential Page 24 of 26 SN3020 User Manual 1.0
11.2 IC Notice (Canada)
The term “IC” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
Le terme “IC” devant le numéro de certification /d’enregistrement signifie seulement que les
spécifications techniques Industrie Canada ont été respectées.
This device complies with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 / IC RSS-210. The installer of this device
should ensure that RF radiation is not emitted in excess of the Health Canada’s requirement.
Information can be obtained at: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-
lignes_direct-eng.php
Cet appareil est conforme avec Santé Canada Code de sécurité 6 / IC RSS-210. Le programme
d'installation de cet appareil doit s'assurer que les rayonnements RF n'est pas émis au-delà de
l'exigence de Santé Canada. Les informations peuvent être obtenues: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewhsemt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php
The host device should be properly labeled to identify the module within the host device. The
Industry Canada certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in
the host device, otherwise the host device must be labeled to display the Industry Canada
certification number of the module, preceded by the words “Contains transmitter module”, or the
word “Contains”, or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows:
Contains transmitter module IC:4523A-SN3020
where 4523A-SN3020 is the module’s certification number.
11.3 CE Notice (Europe)
This device has been tested and certified for use in the European Union.
If this device is used in a product, the OEM has responsibility to verify compliance of the final
product to the EU standards. A Declaration of Conformity must be issued and kept on file as
described in Annex II of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive.
The ‘CE’ mark must be placed on the OEM product per the labeling requirements of the Directive.
Given that the operating frequency band is not harmonized by a few European countries, the
restriction or alert sign must be placed along side the ‘CE’ mark as shown below. As of the date of
this document, only France has a restriction. The restriction is that, if the radio is operated outdoors
in the 2450-2483.5 MHz band, the power must be limited to 10 mW instead of 100 mW. The OEM
must account for this and the product must have the alert mark. It does not require country
notifications, however.
