TN138A 915B Radio Operational Requirements
1 INTRODUCTION
The Wave Wireless 915B Radio is certified by FCC and Industry Canada (IC) under a Limited
Modular Approval (FCC ID: KIN-915B and IC ID: 4309B-915B). This means that the radio can
be used in various packages and configurations provided the requirements below are met.
These requirements apply to any Wave Wireless final product using the 915B radio.
Note that this radio under the 915B certifications cannot be sold as a bare board to end-customers
or OEMs. Only Wave Wireless manufactured final products can be sold. As such, this document
is intended only for Wave Wireless or its contractors to act as an ‘installation guide’ for
installing the 915B radio into a final product.
Adhering to these requirements will not necessarily ensure compliance to FCC and IC
requirements for the final product. If there are any concerns, testing should be done to ensure
compliance. For example, the 915B radio meets the FCC and IC Class B unintentional radiator
requirements as a standalone unit. If it is combined with other components or radios, the
aggregate may not meet the same limits as the standalone unit.
The term “final product” in this document will refer to the product that is sold that incorporates
the 915B radio. Wave Wireless products that use the 915B radio currently includes the
CCU3100.
This document will be updated as new configurations are approved for the 915B radio, such as
new antenna and power supplies.
The approved configurations are shown in Section 3.
WARNING – Final product (e.g. CCU3100) user documentation (e.g. Installation Guides, Spec.
Sheets) must NOT contain any information about how the 915B radio is installed in the final
product nor how to access the radio.
