INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. A module extends to the host manufacturer the ability to market an end-
product without the burden of filing a certification application for the
RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-CA, which has already been certified as a modular
transmitter. It does not allow a host manufacturer or integrator the
convenience to simply use the module without any further testing and
evaluation. The combination of host + radio module must be evaluated for
continued compliance in that specific configuration. It is the responsibility of
the integrator to carry out the required host product verification testing. PCTEL
can advise the integrator on test setup and utilities for the and test that require
radio control.
2. The RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-CA has been certified with its shield in place on the
top side of the circuit board. The shield cannot be removed.
3. Note that per RSS-247 rules pertaining to unlicensed transmitters, the host
device must be equipped with a unique antenna connector. Compliance with
these rules does not permit the use of standard connectors such as N, BNC,
SMA, TNC, etc.
4. The modular transmitter has been tested to the following ISED rules:
a. RSS 210
b. RSS 247
c. ICES-003, Issue 7
d. RSS 102, Rev 5
5. The RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-CA radio module has been certified with the
antennas listed in the table above. For use as a client device (DFS non-master),
the integrator can choose or specify a different antenna of like type and equal
or lesser gain as an antenna appearing in the above table and still maintain
compliance. Reference FCC Part 15.204(c)(4) for further information on this
topic. Note that the highest antenna gain used for approval is 7 dBi.
6. For use in a host system that is a DFS master, the minimum antenna gain
allowed is 1.1 dBi. Any antenna whose gain is lower than 1.1 dBi is not
approved for use with a DFS master device without additional testing and
approval. Note that the highest antenna gain used for approval is 7 dBi.
7. The transmitter module has been evaluated for RF exposure on its own and
therefore should not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna
without further testing and approval.
8. If deployed in Canada, any end-product using the RM-WIFI-AC-2X2-HP-CA
radio module must be visibly labeled with the following:
Contains IC: 26854-RMWIFIAC2X2
9. The integrator or host manufacturer must not provide information to the end
user regarding the installation or removal of this modular transmitter from the
host device in the user’s manual of the end-product.
