Section 15.107: Conducted limits (Certification and Verification) Conducted emission testing has been carried out when the device was powered at 120 Vac 60 Hz using a representative AC power supply. Conducted emission testing was carried out over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz at the Laboratory’s MacKelvie Street premises in a 2.4 m x 2.4 m x 2.4 m screened room. Testing was carried out in accordance with section 15.107(a) using a measuring receiver and a 50 uH / 50 ohm artificial mains network which is also known as a line impedance stabilisation network (LISN). Measurements on both the phase and neutral lines were made using either a Quasi Peak or an Average detector with a 9 kHz bandwidth. The supplied conducted emission plot is a combined plot showing the worst case of the Peak, Quasi Peak and Average levels for both phase and neutral. The Class B conducted limits have been applied. Result: Complies. Measurement uncertainty with a confidence interval of 95% is: Conducted emissions tests (0.15 - 30 MHz)  2.2 dB ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 16 Test Report No 141017.3 23rd December 2014 This report may not be reproduced except in full.

Section 15.109: Radiated spurious emissions Radiated emission testing was carried out over the frequency range of 30 to 2000 MHz as the highest frequency in use in the digital device is less than 500 MHz. The 2nd harmonic of the highest receiver local oscillator frequency is less than 2000 MHz (1220 MHz). Testing was carried out at the laboratory’s open area test site - located at 670 Kawakawa Orere Rd, RD3, Papakura, New Zealand. Before testing was carried out, a receiver Self Test and Internal Calibration was undertaken along with a check of all connecting cables and programmed antenna factors. The device was placed on the test tabletop, which was a total of 0.8 m above the test site ground plane. Measurements below 1000 MHz were made using a Quasi Peak Detector with a bandwidth of 120 kHz. Above 1000 MHz measurements were made using a Peak Detector and an Average Detector with a bandwidth of 1 MHz When an emission is located, it is positively identified and its maximum level is found by rotating the automated turntable, and by varying the antenna height with an automated antenna tower. All emissions were measured in both vertical and horizontal antenna polarisations. The emission level is determined in field strength by taking the following into consideration: Level (dBV/m) = Receiver Reading (dBV) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) + Coax Loss (dB) – Amplifier Gain (dB) The Class B limits have been applied. The receiver was tested when a dummy load was attached to the antenna port and the receiver was tuned to 380.00, 480.525 and 520.000 MHz. The receiver has an intermediate frequency of +90.0 MHz. The digital device was tested when an Ethernet cable was attached to the Ethernet port and the receiver was operating when tuned to 520.000 MHz. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 16 Test Report No 141017.3 23rd December 2014 This report may not be reproduced except in full.

Field strength of the receiver spurious emissions (Verification) The receiver was tested when a dummy load was attached to the antenna port and an Ethernet cable was attached to the Ethernet port. Testing of the receiver was carried out when it was receiving on 380.00, 450.525 and 520 MHz. The receiver has an intermediate frequency of +90.0 MHz No specific receiver emissions were detected with emissions observed to have a margin to the limit that exceeded 20 dB. Result: Complies. Measurement Uncertainty:  4.1 dB ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 10 of 16 Test Report No 141017.3 23rd December 2014 This report may not be reproduced except in full.

Digital device spurious emissions 30-2000 MHz (Certification) The device was tested when a dummy load was attached to the antenna port and an Ethernet cable was attached to the Ethernet port. All other emissions observed had a margin to the limit that exceeded 20 dB. Device was tested on an open area test site at a distance of 3 metres. Below 1000 MHz a quasi-peak detector was used with a bandwidth of 120 kHz Above 1000 MHz an average detector and a peak detector were used with a bandwidth of 1 MHz.
