FCC/IC statements
The communication module is a 900 MHz transceiver for electronic locks and non-lock devices. The communication
module links the access device to the Access Control Management System, with feedback control to the Access
Device via a wireless means. The module contains the embedded firmware implementing the radio physical and
data layers. The antennas associated with this module are:
1. PCB trace inverted-L with a measured gain of 5.7dBi.
2. Omni, wall/post, indoors/outdoors.
3. Omni, ceiling, indoors.
4. Directional, wall/post, indoors/outdoors.
5. Bi-directional, ceiling, indoors.
Specifications of the radio module:
Power Output: 19.6 dBm
Operating Frequency: 906 -924 MHz
Modulation: BPSK
NOTE:
The intended use of this module is not for the general public. It is generally for industry/commercial use only.
This transceiver is to be professionally installed in the end product by Allegion, and not by a third party. The Schlage
AD-400 900 MHz communication board module will not be sold to third parties via retail, general public or mail order.
In the case of a repair, the transceiver will be replaced by a professional Installer.
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 communication. 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.
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.
FCC/IC caution
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment. To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population/uncontrolled
exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least
20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industry Canada statements
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.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 9.3 dBi.
Antennas not included in this list are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is
50 ohms.
