Section 15.212 Modular Transmitters
Request for Modular Approval Request for Limited Modular Approval
Requirements EUT Conditions Comply (Y/N)
Single Modular Approval Requirements
1 The radio elements of the modular Device is equipped with metal shielding to
transmitter must have their own cover RF section. Refer to external photos
shielding. The physical crystal and Y
tuning capacitors may be located
external to the shielded radio elements.
2 The modular transmitter must have All inputs to the modules are buffered
buffered modulation/data inputs (if such through logic or microprocessor inputs.
inputs are provided) to ensure that the
Y
module will comply with Part 15
requirements under conditions of
excessive data rates or over-modulation.
3 The modular transmitter must have its Power Management Integrated die in
Package. Refer to Block diagram Y
own power supply regulation.
4 The modular transmitter must comply Device is equipped with unique antenna (
with the antenna and transmission u.FL(v)-LP-040) connector.
system requirements of Sections 15.203,
15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna
must either be permanently attached or
employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at
all connections between the module and Y
the antenna, including the cable). The
“professional installation” provision of
Section 15.203 is not applicable to
modules but can apply to limited
modular approvals under paragraph (b)
of this section.
5 The modular transmitter must be tested Device was tested outside the host as a
in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the stand-alone configuration for full modular
approval.
module must not be inside another
device during testing for compliance
with Part 15 requirements. Unless the
transmitter module will be battery
powered, it must comply with the AC
line conducted requirements found in
Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines
Y
and data input/output lines connected to
the module must not contain ferrites,
unless they will be marketed with the
module (see Section 15.27(a)). The
length of these lines shall be the length
typical of actual use or, if that length is
unknown, at least 10 centimeters to
insure that there is no coupling between
the case of the module and supporting

equipment. Any accessories, peripherals,
or support equipment connected to the
module during testing shall be
unmodified and commercially available
(see Section 15.31(i)).
6 The modular transmitter must be Two proposed FCC ID label formats are
equipped with either a permanently included in the filing. One of label
is to be placed on the module and the other
affixed label or must be capable of label is to be placed on the outside of
electronically displaying its FCC system .
identification number.
(A) If using a permanently affixed label, the
modular transmitter must be labeled with its own
FCC identification number, and, if the FCC
identification number is not visible when the
module is installed inside another device, then
the outside of the device into which the module is
installed must also display a label referring to
the enclosed module. This exterior label can use
wording such as the following: “Contains
Transmitter Module
FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID:
XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording
that expresses the same meaning may be used.
The Grantee may either provide such a label, an
example of which must be included in the
application for equipment authorization, or, must
Y
provide adequate instructions along with the
module which explain this requirement. In the
latter case, a copy of these instructions must be
included in the application for equipment
authorization.
(B) If the modular transmitter uses an electronic
display of the FCC identification number, the
information must be readily accessible and
visible on the modular transmitter or on the
device in which it is installed. If the module is
installed inside another device, then the outside
of the device into which the module is installed
must display a label referring to the enclosed
module. This exterior label can use wording such
as the following:
“Contains FCC certified transmitter module(s).”
Any similar wording that expresses the same
meaning may be used. The user manual must
include instructions on how to access the
electronic display. A copy of these instructions
must be included in the application for
equipment authorization.
7 The modular transmitter must comply Refer to modular installation manual
with any specific rules or operating
requirements that ordinarily apply to a
complete transmitter and the
manufacturer must provide adequate
Y
instructions along with the module to
explain any such requirements. A copy
of these instructions must be included in
the application for equipment
authorization.

8 The modular transmitter must comply Transmitter meets MPE calculation of 47
with any applicable RF exposure CFR 1.1307 (b) (1). Refer to Y
MPE section of the test reports.
requirements in its final configuration.
A limited modular approval may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that do not comply with
all of the above requirements, e.g., shielding, minimum signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data inputs, or
power supply regulation, if the manufacturer can demonstrate by alternative means in the application for
equipment authorization that the modular transmitter meets all the applicable Part 15 requirements under the
operating conditions in which the transmitter will be used. Limited modular approval also may be granted in
those instances where compliance with RF exposure rules is demonstrated only for particular product
configurations. The applicant for certification must state how control of the end product into which the module
will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of the end product is always ensured.
