Laird Technologies
Form Factor: Whip
Type: Monopole
Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 3 dBi
Maximum 5 GHz Gain: 6.5 dBi
Tested and Certified 2.4 GHz Transmit Power: 100% of maximum setting (no reduction of power is
required in the 2.4 GHz band)
Tested and Certified 5 GHz Transmit Power: 100% of maximum setting (no reduction of power is
required in the 5 GHz band)
Note: The formal test reports for the SDC-MSD30AG show that transmit power was decreased to less than
100% on 2.4 GHz edge channels. Summit has made these transmit power reductions in firmware
for the edge channels. Integrators do not need to reduce transmit power on a channel-by-channel
basis to account for band edge regulations.
Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Summit
Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the SDC-SSD30AG to account
for higher antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by using antennas
that are of like type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-SSD30AG into a host device and
leveraging Summit’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set
forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European
Union) outline the information that must be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host
devices into which the SDC-SSD30AG is integrated.
FCC
User’s
Guide Requirements
When integrating the SDC-SSD30AG into a host device, the integrator must include specific information in
the user’s guide for the device into which the SDC-SSD30AG is integrated. The integrator must not provide
information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the
device into which the SDC-SSD30AG is integrated. The following FCC statements must be added in their
entirety and without modification into a prominent place in the user’s guide for the device into which the
SDC-SSD30AG is integrated:
Federal Communication Commission Interference 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. 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:
1.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
