Warranty
Federal Communications Commission
This device complies with Title 47 CFR
Part 90 of the federal code. The device complies
with 47CFR § 1.1310, Table 1, Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure for
MPE (maximum permissible exposure) to electromagnetic fields, when installed and
operated as described herein.
This device must be operated as supplied by XetaWave LLC. Any changes or
modifications made to the device without the express written approval of XetaWave LLC
will void the user’s authority to operate the device, and may result in regulatory
violations and liabilities.
Caution
The Xeta4-TMFA has a maximum transmitted output power of 10 watts
when used in
compliance with FCC regulations in the 450-470 MHz frequency bands. The transmit
antenna shall be kept at least 187 cm from physical space where humans may exist,
based on a maximum antenna gain of 11. dBi.
See FCC Exposure Compliance on page 4 for more details and RF exposure
calculations.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may result in human
exposure to excessive RF energy.
This device must be installed in a host unit provided by XetaWave, LLC for fixed
installations.
Integration FCC ID
When the module is installed inside another device, the outside of the device into which
the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module.
The exterior label shall use the wording: ‘Contains FCC ID: PEJ-938 40’.

WARNING
This radio module shall be installed by an RF/radio professional familiar with the
applicable rules. Installation of antennas shall be performed in a manner that will
provide at least the MPE Distance from any user or member of the public in the
direction of maximum radiation.
Professional installers receive radios with factory preset settings in compliance with the
values and limits specified in the radio certification.
While the grant may reference the full range of 450-470 MHz frequencies, we attest
that this product will comply with Part 90 FCC regulations within the following
frequency bands and modulations:
450 - 454 MHz
456 – 46 .5375 MHz
4
46 .7375 – 467.5375 MHz
467.7375 – 470 MHz
FCC Antenna Compliance
Since professional installation is required, standard RF connectors are used. Adapters or
custom coaxial cables may be required to connect the radio’s RF connector to the
desired antenna.
Any antenna from a reputable manufacturer with desired bandwidth, gain/pattern
coverage, and a rated nominal impedance of 50 ohms, can be used.
FCC Exposure Compliance
FCC ID PEJ-938 40
It is the responsibility of the licensee or user to guarantee compliance with the
appropriate MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described
herein. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or oriented
such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin 65
and 47CFR § 1.1310.
People should not be near the antenna when the radio link is operating as general
practice and maintain a safe distance as calculated below.
The MPED (Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance) is calculated using the FCC limit
for a general population/uncontrolled exposure in the 450 - 470 MHz frequency band.
To calculate safe distance:

=
Where:
MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance in cm;
ConductedPower is the power delivered to the antenna in mW;
ExposureLimit is the limit for General Population/ Uncontrolled exposure in mW/cm
All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities.
The XETA4-TMFA transmitter duty cycle varies depending on many factors. Packet sizes,
which are set up by the installer as part of the radio/network configuration, are a
primary determinant. At power up and with no data payload, the radios will transmit a
beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10%, depending upon modulation setting. The duty
cycle will increase when a data payload is transmitted, but will also be influenced by
network configuration, network type, number of radios in the network, propagation
5
delay between radios, and other factors. For the purpose of the MPED calculation, a
worst case duty cycle of 100% will be assumed, although this duty cycle is not achieved
in typical operation.
Integrators are responsible for including RF exposure information statements in their
final user manuals.
The worst case MPED for any transmit frequency in the 450 - 470 MHz band is shown in
the table in the following section.

Industry Canada Antenna Compliance
The antenna used for this radio must be properly installed and maintained and must
provide a separation distance of at least 57 cm (101 inches) from all persons and must
not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Never transmit if any person is closer than the specified distance to the antenna.
L’antenne utilisée pour cette radio doit être correctement installée et entretenue. Elle
doit respecter une distance minimum de 57 cm (101 pouces) de l’ulitisateur et ne doit
pas être installée à proximité ou utilisée conjointement avec tout autre antenne ou
émetteur. N’utilisez pas votre radio si vous ne respectez pas la distance spécifiée.
Password Protection
All radios are shipped from the factory password-protected and do not allow users to
set parameters outside the limits of certification. The method of password entry is
hidden from the user, and the required password for each radio is generated using a
unique mathematical calculation that is proprietary to XetaWave, LLC.
Users have the ability to set parameters, via the Diag port, within the permissible limits.
Users do not have access to programming capability.
The Diag Port
The Diag port is used to configure the Xeta4-TMFA and monitor radio and network
operation, data throughput, and packet error rate. Typically, the Diag port is connected
to a computer or other user equipment with an RS- 3 type interface and ASCII text
display capability. The user’s RS- 3 interface may be a native serial port, or it may be
implemented via an interface converter (for example, a USB-to-RS- 3 converter
dongle). A 3.3 volt to RS- 3 level converter must be used between the radio and the
user’s serial port if the user’s serial port requires standard RS- 3 levels (typically -5
volts/+5 volts to -1 volts/+1 volts). The radio Diag port levels are 0 volts/+3.3 volts,
and it is inverted with respect to standard RS- 3 signaling.
The user’s serial port must be configured to match the following configuration to
communicate:
Bits per Second (Baud): 115 00
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
