Antenna

Antenna type

YLB1 uses the onboard PCB antenna with a gain of 0.2 dBi.

Antenna interference reduction

To ensure RF performance, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other metal parts. If metal materials wrap the surrounding of the antenna, the wireless signal will be greatly attenuated and the RF performance will deteriorate. When designing the finished product, please leave enough space for the antenna area.

Recommended PCB footprint

Note: The default outline dimension tolerance is ±0.35 mm, and the critical dimension tolerance is ±0.1 mm.

Production instructions

• The stamp-hole module must be mounted by the SMT machine. After being unpacked, it must be soldered within 24 hours. Otherwise, it must be put into the drying cupboard where the RH is not greater than 10%, or it needs to be packaged under vacuum again and the exposure time needs to be recorded (the total exposure time cannot exceed 168 hours).

  • SMT equipment:
    • Mounter
    • SPI
    • Reflow soldering machine
    • Oven temperature tester
    • Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment
  • Baking equipment:
    • Cabinet oven
    • Anti-static heat-resistant pallets
    • Anti-static heat-resistant gloves

• Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows:

  • The moisture-proof bag must be placed in an environment where the temperature is below 40°C and the relative humidity is lower than 90%.
  • The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is 12 months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.
  • The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC).
    

• The module needs to be baked in the following cases:

  • Vacuum packing bag was found to be damaged before being unpacked.
  • There is no humidity indicator card (HIC) in the vacuum packing bag.
  • After being unpacked, 10% and above circles on the HIC become pink.
  • The total exposure time has been more than 168 hours since unpacking.
  • More than 12 months have passed since the sealing date of the bag.

• Baking settings:

  • Temperature: 40°C and ≤ 5% RH for reel package and 125°C and ≤5% RH for tray package (please use the heat-resistant tray rather than a plastic container)
  • Time: 168 hours for reel package and 12 hours for tray package
  • Alarm temperature: 50°C for reel package and 135°C for tray package
  • Production ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36°C
  • Re-baking situation: If a module remains unused for over 168 hours after being baked, it needs to be baked again.

    Important: If a batch of modules is not baked within 168 hours, do not use wave soldering to solder them. Because these modules are Level-3 moisture-sensitive devices, they are very likely to get damp when exposed beyond the allowable time. In this case, if they are soldered at high temperatures, it may result in device failure or poor soldering.

• In the whole production process, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.

• To guarantee the passing rate, it is recommended that you use the SPI and AOI to monitor the quality of solder paste printing and mounting.

Recommended oven temperature curve

Perform mounting with the SMT based on the following reflow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245°C. The reflow temperature curve is as below:

• A: Temperature axis

• B: Time axis

• C: Liquidus temperature: 217 to 220°C

• D: Ramp-up slope: 1 to 3°C/s

• E: Duration of constant temperature: 60 to 120s; the range of constant temperature: 150 to 200°C

• F: Duration above the liquidus: 50 to 70s

• G: Peak temperature: 235 to 245°C

• H: Ramp-down slope: 1 to 4°C/s

  Note: The above curve is just an example of the solder paste SAC305. For more details about other solder pastes, please refer to Recommended oven temperature curve in the solder paste specifications.

Appendix: Statement

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

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.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according 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 following the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 or more 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.

Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled rolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body.

Important Note

This radio module must not be installed to co-locate and operating simultaneously with other radios in the host system except following FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Additional testing and equipment authorization may be required to operate simultaneously with other radios.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end-user.

The host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance with any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.

The end-user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warnings as shown in this manual, including this product must be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and user body.

The RF module is considered as a limited modular transmitter according to FCC rules. Even though the RF module gets an FCC ID, the host product manufacturer can not use the FCC ID on the final product directly. In these circumstances, the host product manufacturer integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining the FCC authorization by a Class II permissive change application or a new application.
