2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Translation Board (TLB) is custom designed to interface the Telit module variant
LM960 with the Telit Generic Evaluation Board (EVB) thus forming the complete
Development Kit of LM960.
The TLB provides the mapping of Telit module signals and functions into the generic EVB
signals and functions.
The LM960 TLB design includes the following items:
•LM960 module
•RF SMA connectors
•Board to Board connectors for interfacing to EVB main board
•Module specific circuitry which is not part of the generic circuitry of the EVB
The TLB also makes provision to assemble a custom designed module socket instead of
assembling the module.
Power supply and control interface for the RF module is provided from the EVB via the
B2B connectors.
To monitor the temperature, a thermistor is placed on the top GND plane, close to the
module which should be representative for the module’s backside temperature.
The bottom plane solder-mask is cutout below the RF module in order to optimally
mount/attach a heatsink aiming to cool the module via the many heat conducting GND
via’s.
The board is designed to accommodate new modules according LM960 MINI PCIE (50.95
x 30.00 x 2.70mm, +/- 0.15 mm tolerance and 52 pins) updated pin mapping.

5. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
READ CAREFULLY
Be sure the use of this product is allowed in the country and in the environment required.
The use of this product may be dangerous and has to be avoided in the following areas:
•Where it can interfere with other electronic devices in environments such as
hospitals, airports, aircrafts, etc.
•Where there is risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc. It is the
responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty
validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for correct
wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage source and
the wiring has to be conformed to the security and fire prevention regulations. The product
has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because electrostatic
discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to be taken for the SIM,
checking carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM when the
product is in power saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible for the functioning of the final product; therefore, care
has to be taken to the external components of the module, as well as any project or
installation issue, because the risk of disturbing the GSM network or external devices or
having impact on the security. Should there be any doubt, please refer to the technical
documentation and the regulations in force. Every module has to be equipped with a proper
antenna with specific characteristics. The antenna has to be installed with care in order to
avoid any interference with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum
distance from the body (20 cm). In case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system
integrator has to assess the final product against the SAR regulation.
The European Community provides some Directives for the electronic equipment
introduced on the market. All of the relevant information is available on the European
Community website:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/documents/
The text of the Directive 99/05 regarding telecommunication equipment is available,
while the applicable Directives (Low Voltage and EMC) are available at:
