LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
When working with RF, a clear distinction must be made between what is technically
possible and what is legally acceptable in the country where operation is intended.
Many manufacturers have avoided incorporating RF into their products as a result of
uncertainty and even fear of the approval and certification process. Here at Linx our
desire is not only to expedite the design process, but also to assist you in achieving
a clear idea of what is involved in obtaining the approvals necessary to legally market
your completed product.
In the United States the approval process is actually quite straightforward. The
regulations governing RF devices and the enforcement of them are the responsibility
of the Federal Communications Commission. The regulations are contained in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 47. Title 47 is made up of numerous
volumes; however, all regulations applicable to this module are contained in volume
0-19. It is strongly recommended that a copy be obtained from the Government
Printing Office in Washington, or from your local government book store. Excerpts of
applicable sections are included with Linx evaluation kits or may be obtained from
the Linx Technologies web site (www.linxtechnologies.com). In brief, these rules
require that any device which intentionally radiates RF energy be approved, that is,
tested, for compliance and issued a unique identification number. This is a relatively
painless process. Linx offers full EMC pre-compliance testing in our HP/Emco-
equipped test center. Final compliance testing is then performed by one of the many
independent testing laboratories across the country. Many labs can also provide
other certifications the product may require at the same time, such as UL, CLASS
A/B, etc.Once your completed product has passed, you will be issued an ID number
which is then clearly placed on each product manufactured.
Questions regarding interpretations of the Part 2 and Part 15 rules or measurement
procedures used to test intentional radiators should be addressed to:
International approvals are slightly more complex, although many modules are
designed to allow all international standards to be met. If you are considering the
export of your product abroad, you should contact Linx Technologies to determine
the specific suitability of the module to your application.
All Linx modules are designed with the approval process in mind and thus much of
the frustration that is typically experienced with a discrete design is eliminated.
Approval is still dependent on many factors such as the choice of antennas, correct
use of the frequency selected, and physical packaging. While some extra cost and
design effort are required to address these issues, the additional usefulness and
profitability added to a product by RF makes the effort more than worthwhile.
NOTE: RM Series
require external components to function. The modules are intended to allow
for full Part 15 compliance; however, they are not approved by the FCC or
any other agency worldwide. The purchaser understands that approvals may
be required prior to the sale or operation of the device, and agrees to utilize
the component in keeping with all laws governing its operation in the
country of operation.
