Overview
Moxa Sub-1G module(ZB-DCU3-T, ZB-PM3-T, ZB-WAN1-T) uses ATMEL
wireless microcontroller which pro ides a comprehensi e solution with large
memory(256KB Flash and 16KB SRAM), high CPU and radio performance and all
RF components included.
The module is a range of ultra low power, high performance surface mount
modules targeted at Sub-1G networking applications, enabling users to realize
products with minimum time to market and at the lowest cost. Sub-1G
module(ZB-DCU3-T, ZB-PM3-T, ZB-WAN1-T) can implement networking stacks,
such as ZigBee, as well as customer applications
Note:
* The Sub-1G module will implement into Moxa System’s DCU and CFE Protecsa’s
Smart Meter application. So, it should follow Moxa System’s DCU-8620-T specification
and CFE Protecsa AMI specification that provided by CFE company.
Features
• Support SCM setting
• Support upgrade firmware o er the AIR
• Support AES-128 compatible encryption
• Support large packets fragmentation
• Support Mesh topology

Hardware Installation
The Sub-1G Module can be installed into Moxa DCU-8620-T Embedded
Computer system and Power Meter.
Steps for Installation on DCU
1. Attach the WLAN antenna to connector UI.
2. Let Sub-1G Module(ZB-DCU3-T and ZB-WAN1-T) connect to DCU-8620-T.
3. Screw on the Sub-1G Module
Steps for Installation on Power Meter
1. Let Sub-1G Module(ZB-PM3-T) connect to Power Meter.
2. Reco er the Power Meter.

Software Installation
After physically installing the Sub-1G module, the module will be recognized on
the new system board after the following steps.
Steps for Installation
1. Apply power to the system board.
2. Run DCU-8620-T application program. Make sure it could communicate with
Sub-1G module(ZB-WAN1-T and ZB-DCU3-T).
3. Apply power to the Power Meter. Make sure the LED of “Ready” light-on on
Power Meter.
4. Run DCU-8620-T application program, make sure it could read data from
Power Meter through the air.

A. Regulatory Statements
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device co plies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device ay not cause har ful interference, and (2) this device
ust accept any interference received, including interference that ay cause undesired
operation.
This equip ent has been tested and found to co ply with the li its for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These li its are designed to provide
reasonable protection against har ful interference in a residential installation. This
equip ent generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, ay cause har ful interference to radio
co unications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equip ent does cause har ful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be deter ined by turning the equip ent off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following easures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equip ent and receiver.
- Connect the equip ent into an outlet on a circuit different fro that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or odifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for co pliance could void the user's authority to operate this equip ent.
This trans itter ust not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or trans itter.

Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equip ent co plies with FCC radiation exposure li its set forth for an uncontrolled
environ ent. This equip ent should be installed and operated with ini u distance
20c between the radiator & your body.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna ust be installed such that 20 c is aintained between the antenna
and users, and
2) The trans itter odule ay not be co-located with any other trans itter or antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are et, further trans itter test will not be required.
However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any
additional co pliance require ents required with this odule installed
IMPO TANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be et (for exa ple certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another trans itter), then the FCC authorization
is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circu stances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the trans itter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This trans itter odule is authorized only for use in device where the antenna ay be
installed such that 20 c ay be aintained between the antenna and users. The final
end product ust be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC
ID: SLE-ZB-PM3-T” or “Contains FCC ID: SLE-ZB-DCU3-T”. The grantee's FCC ID can be used
only when all FCC co pliance require ents are et.
Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide infor ation to the end user regarding
how to install or re ove this RF odule in the user’s anual of the end product which
integrates this odule.
The end user anual shall include all required regulatory infor ation/warning as show in
this anual.
