OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the IPPAN3-B module by Wattstopper. This manual will guide
you through the process of installing the module.
IPPAN3-B embeds wireless IPv6-based communication into each Wattstopper or host
device, and uses wireless mesh networking technology to connect to the internet.
Each IPPAN3-B module has a unique IPv6 address and “smart” functionality which
enables wireless data gathering, communication, and control of the host device.
The IPPAN3-B module is designed to be a self-contained IEEE® 802.15.4 and BLE
compliant wireless interface to be employed in conjunction with a variety of daughter
boards that maintain a stable 2.1-3.3Vdc supply. IPPAN3-B provides a diverse set of
I/O options such as serial interface or general purpose I/O. IPPAN3-B is comprised of
a microcontroller, transceiver, amplifier, and two antennas.

Antennas
The IPPAN3-B module can have two antennas. ANT1 antenna use ceramic antenna ,
the gain less than 0.5dBi, and the ANT2 antenna can use Dipole antenna and other
wire antennas, but the gain can not higher than 2.0dBi.

Modes of Operation
The final use and application of IPPAN3-B is dependent on the firmware pre-installed
at the factory. However, all applications have common modes of operations that can
be summarized as follows for both the IEEE® 802.15.4 and BLE radios:
NOTE: IEEE® 802.15.4 can be used only when BLE is not in use.
Idle Mode
IPPAN3-B enters idle mode of operation whenever the device is not in transmit, or
receive mode, or when there is no data to process.
Data Processing Mode
When an interrupt, timer, frame reception, or frame transmission event occurs
IPPAN3-B moves out of idle mode and into data processing mode. In this mode
IPPAN3-B can processes information and act on data accordingly.
Receive Mode
When a 802.15.4, or BLE, compliant message is received by the transceiver and it’s
either addressed for IPPAN3-B or broadcast the device can be said to be in receive
mode. In receive mode IPPAN3-B validates data and address before accepting the
message for processing.
Transmit Mode
In this mode IPPAN3-B generates an 802.15.4, or BLE, compliant message that can
be sent directly to another IPPAN3-B or broadcast to all other IPPAN3-B modules
within radio range. Transmission mode is preceded by user interaction, a data logging
event, a network maintenance message or as a response to a message
acknowledgement request.

INSTALLATION
IPPAN3-B will come pre-programmed from the manufacturer, and in many cases
pre-installed in a device. If you have elected to install IPPAN3-B in house, it is
important to understand how to handle, install, and use properly.
4.1 DESIGNGUIDELINES
●The IPPAN3-B Module is designed either to be surface mounted.
●standard 20 pin footprint using the following sockets:
○Samtec P/N: MMS-110-01-L-SV
○Samtec P/N: SMM-110-02-SM-S
●Standard electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when handling the
module.
●The socket should be designed in a manner where the radiating structures
(antenna) are away from other sensitive electronics
●No antenna modifications can be made (see section 5.0)
●FCC labeling guidelines must be maintained (see section 5.0)
●All stated electrical maximum and minimum values must be met (see section 2.1)

END USER GUIDELINES
The module is designed to be used in fixed locations. If the end user experiences
communication problems it is recommended to move the transceivers closer to one
another or purchase a repeater.
Objects including, but not limited to, steel reinforced walls, metal electrical boxes,
water, and snow may degrade the working distance between transceivers, and should
be avoided. IPPAN3-B is designed to operate in a mesh network, and in most cases
adding nodes can help overcome communication issues.
FCC requires specific text to be placed within user’s manual or operator instruction
guide for the final commercial product. Specific details on this text can be found in
section 5.0.
