1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The PCI Express Mini (PEM) module functions as LTE User Equipment (UE) capable of interoperating with the Harris LTE network and is deployed by integrating into the current generation of laptop computers and mobile data terminals. The PEM is capable of dual-band operation supporting UMTS bands 14 and 12, and conforms to the PCI Express Mini specification as a Type F1 Full-Mini (50.9 × 30.0
× 5.0 mm³), as shown below, for integration into devices as a USB modem. The PEM card is a modular transmitter and is not shipped with antennas.
Figure 1-1: PCI Express Mini (PEM) Module
The module is supplied under two part product codes:
The PBM-100 is a single LTE band device operating in 3GPP band 14 in the spectrum dedicated to public safety.
The PBM-102 is a dual LTE band device which has the capability of operation in 3GPP band 14 and band 12.
1.2 SCOPE
This document outlines the use and installation guidelines for the PEM module into host devices.

2.1.2 Receiver
The receiver associated with this transmitting device has been tested and declared to meet the regulatory requirements.
2.1.3 FCC Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
The user should take caution that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. All required software and operating conditions must not be violated by the installer/user and is an express condition of use for this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 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 in accordance with 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.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
2.1.4 Industry Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Heath Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

2.1.5 Labeling
The FCC labeling of the PEM module is shown below. When integrating the module into a host, the label must be visible through a window, visible through an access panel that is easily removed, or a second label must be placed on the outside of the host device that contains the following text: Contains FCC ID:
BV8BBPBM100. Labelling for Canada must include the following text: Contains IC: 3670A-
BBPBM100.

2.2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
2.2.1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits
Mobile devices are defined by the FCC as transmitters with a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters between radiating structures and the body of the user. At least 20 centimeters of separation between the antenna and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.
The FCC defines portable devices as transmitters whose radiating structures are designed to be used within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. These portable devices are to be evaluated with respect to limits for specific absorption rate (SAR) and require separate approval.
The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) is based on a mobile device installation and is specified in
FCC rules 47 CFR 2.1091 Radio frequency radiation exposure evaluation: mobile devices. Since this device operates at frequencies below 1.5 GHz, the effective radiated power (ERP) is limited to 1.5 watts.
2.2.2 MPE Calculation for Mobile Device Installation
Given the limit for Effective Radiated Power (ERP), we can calculate the maximum antenna gain allowed for use in a mobile installation:
And converting to gain in dBi:
Where :
G
T
is the Maximum Antenna Gain
P
T
is the Maximum Transmitted Power = 316 mW

2.2.3 Maximum Allowed Antenna Gain
Table 2-1 summarizes the maximum gain allowed for use in mobile installations at each band of
operation. When designing the antenna system for the PEM, the gain of the host antenna must not exceed these values.

3 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Always read and follow all installation instructions. Follow ESD precautions and prepare an ESD safe workspace for installation. Turn the power to the host off and ground yourself to dissipate static charge.
Mount only in sockets and locations intended for Type F1 Full-Mini cards and consult Harris on thermal management recommendations for the PEM mounted within the host.
All instructions relating to the integration of the module described on the FCC Grant notes must be followed.
3.2 MOBILE HOST
The PEM can be installed in host devices as a standalone transmitter where the distance between the antenna and the body of the user is greater than 20 centimeters and the antenna gain is less than the value
shown in section 2.2.3. Labeling requirements are given in section 2.1.5.
3.3 PORTABLE HOST
In host devices where the distance between the antenna and the body of the user is equal to or less than 20 centimeters, the device must be evaluated using specific FCC and Industry Canada test procedures for
SAR and requires separate approval. Users are required to consult with Harris for all portable installations.
3.4 COLLOCATED TRANSMITTERS
This module can be incorporated in mobile host devices containing other transmitters if:
The separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is ≥ 20 cm.
OR
Antennas comply with MPE limits as specified in the application filing and simultaneously transmitting antennas must be ≥ 5 cm from each other.
As with any mobile installation, all antennas must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
All collocated transmitter installations must be evaluated by Harris.
