NINA-W1 series - User Manual
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements. KDB 447498
General RF Exposure Guidance provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing
transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
This module is approved for installation into mobile and/or portable host platforms and must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with FCC multi-transmitter guidelines. End users must be provided with transmitter operating
conditions for satisfying RF Exposure compliance.
KDB996369 D03 section 2.4 (limited module procedures) and 2.5 (trace antenna designs) are not
applicable to the NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156 and NINA-B226 modules.
5.2.3 Module statement
The single-modular transmitter is a self-contained, physically delineated, component for which
compliance can be demonstrated independent of the host operating conditions, and which complies
with all eight requirements of § 15.212(a)(1) as summarized below.
1) The radio elements have the radio frequency circuitry shielded.
2) The module has buffered modulation/data inputs to ensure that the device will comply with Part
15 requirements with any type of input signal.
3) The module contains power supply regulation on the module.
4) The module contains a permanently attached antenna.
5) The module demonstrates compliance in a stand-alone configuration.
6) The module is labeled with its permanently affixed FCC ID label.
7) The module complies with all specific rules applicable to the transmitter, including all the
conditions provided in the integration instructions by the grantee.
8) The module complies with RF exposure requirements.
5.2.4 End-product compliance
⚠ The modular transmitter approval of NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156 and NINA-B226, or
any other radio module, does not exempt the end product from being evaluated against
applicable regulatory demands.
The evaluation of the end product shall be performed with the NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156
or NINA-B226 INA-B3 module installed and operating in a way that reflects the intended end product
use case. The upper frequency measurement range of the end product evaluation is the 5th
harmonic of 2.4 GHz as declared in 47 CFR Part 15.33 (b)(1).
The following requirements apply to all products that integrate a radio module:
Subpart B - UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS
To verify that the composite device of host and module comply with the requirements of FCC
part 15B, the integrator shall perform sufficient measurements using ANSI 63.4-2014.
Subpart C - INTENTIONAL RADIATORS
It is required that the integrator carries out sufficient verification measurements using ANSI
63.10-2013 to validate that the fundamental and out of band emissions of the transmitter part of
the composite device complies with the requirements of FCC part 15C.
When the items listed above are fulfilled, the end product manufacturer can use the authorization
procedures as mentioned in Table 1 of 47 CFR Part 15.101, before marketing the end product. This
means the customer has to either market the end product under a Suppliers Declaration of
Conformity (SDoC) or to certify the product using an accredited test lab.
