2.2 Description of EUT

The C4-CORE5 is a home entertainment controller, used to control home entertainment and home automation which features five independent audio outputs ­ three digital coaxial, three unbalanced stereo analog, one HDMI Out, wireless Zigbee and Z-wave communications, IR, serial, contacts and relays, and IP control. It also features a USB 3.0 connection for connection to external hard drives and a gigabit LAN port. It is powered via the AC mains and an internal 100-240Vac, 50/60Hz power supply.

The highest internal clocks or internal clock frequency on the EUT is the 2.4 GHz Zigbee wireless clock, and the internal system clock of 1.6 GHz.

This report covers the circuitry of the device subject to FCC Part 15, Subpart C. The circuitry of the device subject to FCC Part 15 Subpart B was found to be compliant and is covered under a separate Compliance Test Services test report.
