SARA-N2 / N3 series - System integration manual
UBX-17005143 - R13
Approvals

C1-Public
The required certification scheme approvals and relative testing specifications differ depending on
the country or the region where the device that integrates SARA-N2 / N3 series modules is intended
to be deployed, on the relative vertical market of the device, on type, features and functionalities of
the whole application device, and on the network operators where the device is intended to operate.
The u-
blox cellular module’s approval
can be re-used for the approval of the integrating application
device, but the possible re-use depends on the physical characteristics of the integrating application
device, also considering the configuration used for the approvals of SARA-N2 / N3 series modules, and
it also depends on related certification scheme approvals required for the integrating application
device as explained above.
☞
Check the appropriate applicability of SARA-N2 / N3 series
module’s approvals
while starting the
certification process of the device integrating the module: the re-use of the u-
blox module’s
approval can significantly reduce the cost and time to market of the end-device certification.
☞
The certification of the application device that integrates a SARA-N2 / N3 series module and the
compliance of the application device with all the applicable certification schemes, directives and
standards are the sole responsibility of the application device manufacturer.
4.2
European Conformance
SARA-N200, SARA-N210, SARA-N211, and SARA-N310 modules have been evaluated against the
essential requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.

the following standards:
•
Radio Spectrum Efficiency (Article 3.2):
o
EN 301 908-1
o
EN 301 908-13
•
Electromagnetic Compatibility (Article 3.1b):
o
EN 301 489-1
o
EN 301 489-52
•
Health and Safety (Article 3.1a)
o
EN 62368-1
o
EN 62311
⚠
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information: this equipment complies with radiation exposure
limits prescribed for an uncontrolled environment for fixed and mobile use conditions. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the
radiator and the body of the user or nearby persons. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except as authorized in the
certification of the product.
⚠
The gain of the system antenna(s) used for the SARA-N200, SARA-N210 and SARA-N211 modules
(i.e. the combined transmission line, connector, cable losses and radiating element gain) must not
exceed the values stated in the Declaration of Conformity of the modules, for mobile and fixed or
mobile operating configurations:
o
9.2 dBi in 800 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-20 band
o
9.4 dBi in 900 MHz, i.e. LTE FDD-8 band
