The JN5179-001-M06 module provides designers with a ready-made component that
provides a fully integrated solution for applications, using the IEEE802.15.4 standard in
the 2.4 GHz - 2.5 GHz ISM frequency band, including ZigBee Smart Energy and Home
Automation and can be quickly and easily included in product designs. The module
integrates all of the RF components required, removing the n eed to perform expensive RF
design and test. Products can be designed by simply connecting sensors and switches to
the module IO pins. The module uses NXP’s single chip IEEE802.15.4 wireless
microcontroller, allowing designers to make use of the extensive chip development
support material. Hence, this module allows designers to bring wireless applications to
market in the minimum time with significantly reduce d de ve lopm en t effort and co st.
JN5179-001-M06 module includes a 21 dBm power amplifier and a LNA for extended
range. It also includes 2 Fl connectors that allow to take benefit of the antenna diversity
technique supported by the JN5179.

NXP supplies all the development tools and networking stacks needed to enable
end-product development to occur quickly and efficiently. These are all freely available
from the NXP Wireless Connectivity (see Ref. 3
). A range of evaluation/developer kits is
also available, allowing products to be quickly bread boarded . Efficient deve lop m ent of
software applications is enabled by the provision of a complete, unlimited, software
developer kit. Together with the available libraries for the IEEE802.15.4 MAC and ZigBee
PRO network stacks, this package provides everything required to develop application
code and to trial it with hardware representative of the final module.
The module can be user programmed both in development and in production using
software supplied by NXP. Access to the on-chip peripherals, MAC and network stack
software is provided through specific APIs. This information is available on the NXP
support website, together with many example applications, user guides, reference
manuals and application notes.

12. Federal Communication Commission Statement
• 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 see Ref. 4
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:
– 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
• OEM integrators instructions
– The OEM integrators are responsible for ensuring that the e nd-user has no manual
instructions to remove or install module
– The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications, according to
CFR 47 Part 2.1091(b)
– Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including
portable configurations with respect to CFR 47 Part 2.1093 and different antenna
configurations
• User guide mandatory statements
– User's instructions of the host device must contain the following statements in
addition to operation instructions:
* “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”
* “Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment”
– User's instructions of the host device must contain the following instructions in
addition to operation instructions:
Avoid direct contact to the antenna, or keep it to a 20 cm minimum distance while
using this equipment. This device must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with another antenna or transmitter.
12.1 FCC end product labelling
The final ‘end product’ should be labelled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: XXMJN5179M6”.
13. Industry Canada statement
Table 12.
This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
This device complies with Industry Canada RF
radiation exposure limits set forth for general
population (uncontrolled exposure). This device
must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and
must not be collocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR
d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) il
ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt a accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce
brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le
fonctionnement du dispositif.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux niveaux
limites d’exigences d’exposition RF aux
personnes définies par Industrie Canada. Cet
appareil doit être installé afin d’offrir une
distance de séparation d’au moins 20 cm avec
l’utilisateur, et ne doit pas être installé à
proximité ou être utilisé en conjonction avec une
autre antenne ou un autre émetteur.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
These modules have been designed to operate with an te nna s ha ving a maxim um gain of
2.0 dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 2.0 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
As long as the above condition is met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc).
13.1 Industry Canada end product labelling
For Industry Canada purposes the following should be used:
“Contains Industry Canada ID IC: 8764A-JN5179M6”
