Integration instructions for host
product manufacturers according to
KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01r01

RM-1700-22M Mesh Rider Radio

List of applicable FCC rules
CFR 47 FCC Part 15 Subpart C has been investigated. It is applicable to the modular transmitter
Specific Operational Use Conditions – Antenna Placement Within the Host Platform
The module is tested for standalone mobile RF exposure use condition.

  • The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users,
  • The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Limited Module Procedures
Not applicable
Trace Antenna Designs
Not applicable
RF Exposure Considerations
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
Antenna Type and Gain
The following antennas have been certified for use with this module.
Only antennas of the same type with equal or lower gain may also be used with this module.
Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require the additional authorization for operation.
Antenna Specification list below:

Model No. Manufacturer Type of Antenna and Gain (Max.) Frequency Range
001-0002 TE Connectivity Laird External Antenna, Dipole, 2.0dBi (Max.) 902 ~ 928 MHz
RN-SMA4-RP Microchip External Antenna, Dipole, 2.2dBi (Max.) 2400 ~ 2500 MHz

End Product Labelling Compliance Information
When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily removed. If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text: “Contains FCC ID: 2AG87RM1700-2M”. The FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met.
Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements
This transmitter is tested in a standalone mobile RF exposure condition and any co-located or simultaneous transmission with other transmitter(s) class II permissive change reevaluation or new FCC authorization.
Host manufacturer installed this modular with single modular approval should perform the test of radiated emission and spurious emission according to FCC part 15C, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, only if the test result comply with FCC part 15C, 15.209, 15.207 requirement, then the host can be sold legally.
Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer
This transmitter modular us tested as a subsystem and its certification does not cover the FCC Part 15 Subpart B rules requirement applicable to the final host. The final host will still need to be reassessed for compliance to this portion of rules requirements if applicable.
As long as all conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this modular installed.
Manual Information to The End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The host integrator must follow the integration instructions provided in this document and ensure that the composite system end product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the rules and to KDB Publication 996369.
The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final composite product complies with the requirements by a technical assessment or evaluation to the rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance in KDB Publication 996369.
OEM/Host Manufacturer Responsibilities
OEM/Host manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the compliance of the Host and Module. The final product must be reassessed against all the essential requirements of the FCC rule such as FCC Part 15 Subpart B before it can be placed on the US market. This includes reassessing the transmitter module for compliance with the Radio and RF Exposure essential requirements of the FCC rules.
How to Make Changes – Important Note
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
