Warranty

All equipment supplied by Trio DataCom Pty Ltd is covered by
warranty for faulty workmanship and parts for a period of twelve
(12) months from the date of delivery to the customer. During the
warranty period Trio DataCom Pty Ltd shall, at its option, repair
or replace faulty parts or equipment provided the fault has not
been caused by misuse, accident, deliberate damage, abnormal
atmosphere, liquid immersion or lightning discharge; or where
attempts have been made by unauthorised persons to repair or
modify the equipment.

The warranty does not cover modifications to software. All
equipment for repair under warranty must be returned freight paid
to Trio DataCom Pty Ltd or to such other place as Trio DataCom
Pty Ltd shall nominate. Following repair or replacement the
equipment shall be returned to the customer freight forward. If it is
not possible due to the nature of the equipment for it to be returned
to Trio DataCom Pty Ltd, then such expenses as may be incurred
by Trio DataCom Pty Ltd in servicing the equipment in situ shall be
chargeable to the customer.

When equipment for repair does not qualify for repair or

FCC Compliance Notices

FCC Part 15 Notice

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 device must not be modified in any way or FCC compliance
may be void.

FCC Approved Antennas

This device can only be used with Antennas listed in the Appendix
of the O Series User Manual. Please Contact Trio Datacom if you
need more information or would like to order an antenna.

RF Exposure

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during
device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer
than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this
transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

MAXIMUM EIRP

FCC Regulations allow up to 36 dBm effective isotropic radiated
power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power (in
dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain (in dBi) cannot exceed
36 dBm.

O Series Data Radio – User Manual

Part B – O Series Overview

Definition of O Series Data Radio

Trio O Series industrial strength spread spectrum data radios are
the ideal solution for professional serial data communications in
wireless point to point or point to multi-point SCADA and telemetry
applications when the use of licensed frequencies is not possible
or when data throughput requirements are greater than traditional
licensed frequency equipment can achieve.

O Series systems can be rapidly deployed as permanent or
temporary alternatives to costly cable based circuits. They allow
complex networks with extended coverage to be implemented at
minimum cost, delivering dependable communications in the most
demanding environments.

O Series Product Range

The TRIO O Series comprises the OM900, which operates within
the 902-928MHz license free frequency band, and the OM240
that can be configured for use in the 2.4GHz license free bands
