RADIATION SCIENCES INC. SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS The Model # RBMC—10C, configured as described herein, FULLY COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN SUBPART B AND C OF PART 15 OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) RULES FOR INTENTIONAL AND UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS. RSI—5228E —lii~

RADIATION SCIENCES INC. 1.0 INTRODUCTION This document is a report of tests to determine the ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) characteristics of the Model # RBMC—10C presented by Lutron Electronies of Coopersburg, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the testing was to evaluate the EMI characteristics of the test sample with respect to Subpart B and C of Part 15 of the FCC Rules for intentional and unintentional radiators. Test setups and procedures are described in RSI‘s Test Procedures 4963E (see Appendix B) and test results are summarized herein on graphs. All test procedures used meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute Procedure C63.4: "Methods of Measurement of Radio—Noise Emissions from Low—Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of IkHz to 40GHz", dated 17 July 1992.

RADIATION SCIENCES INC. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST SAMPLE: The RBMC—10C is a tabletop mounted dimmer powered by batteries. The RBMC—10C contains a super—heterodyne receiver, a transmitter, and an antenna. It is used to control table lamps as part of an integrated lighting control system. The receiver down converts a 433.9MHz carrier frequency using a 423.2MHz local oscillator producing a 10.7MHz IF signal. The signal is further processed to decode data. The transmitter uses a SAW oscillator and power amplifier, which is keyed ON/OFF to produce the modulated carrier. Each RBMC—10C contains a micro controller running at 4MHz to ensure that all transmissions stop within 5 seconds of the button release or within 5 seconds on the beginning of the transmission or a transmission actuated automatically shall cease transmission within 5 seconds after activation. Modulation is AM specifically ON/OFF Keyed (OOK) or sometimes called Amplitude Shift Keyed (ASK) data at 15.625kbps. The antenna cannot be modified or easily replaced by the user. The RBMC—10C derives power from the Battery Source located in a compartment on unit. RSI—5228E —3—

RADIATION SCIENCES INC. 4.0 TEST RESULTS 4.1 Conducted Power Line Measurements, Paragraphs §15.107 No measurements were performed on the Model # RMBC—10C because it is a battery operated unit. RSI—5228E —4—

RADIATION SCIENCES INC. 4.2 Radiated Emission Measurements, Paragraphs §15.33, §15.35, §15.109, §15.205, §15.209 and §15.231 See Figure 2 for a test setup photograph and Figure 3 for a photograph of the fundamental frequency bandwidth. Radiated emission measurements were recorded for the test sample at a distance of 3 meters, unless otherwise stated. The results offield strength measurements are illustrated on Figures 6 for unintentional radiators and Figures 7 and 8 for intentional radiators. Radiated emissions were measured with the antenna in both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. The antenna was raised 1 to 4 meters in height and the equipment under test (EUT) was rotated 360° to maximize the emission. For unintentional radiators, the emissions from the EUT were scanned from 30MHz to 2000MHz sinceits localoscillatoris 423.2MHz. For intentional radiators the field strength of emissions of the EUT were measured out to the tenth harmonic of the carrier frequency. The carrier frequency is 433.9MHz. The bandwidth of the emission shall be no wider than .25% of the center frequency. Bandwidth is determined at the points 20dB down from the modulated carrier. An average factor of 20dB was applied to the level of the fundamental emission when compared to the FCC limit. ALL LEVELS COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LIMITS. RSI—5228E —5—

RADIATION SCIENCES INC. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS The evaluation of the Model # RBMC—10C, configured as described herein, indicated that the unit complies with the requirements set forth in Subpart B and C of Part 15 of the FCC Rules for unintentional and intentional radiators. 1. The EUT meets the radiated emission limits for unintentional radiators set forth in §15.109. The closest measurement was 1.2dB under the limit. 2. The EUT meets the radiated emission limits for intentional radiators set forth in §15.205, §15.209 and §15.231. The closest measurement was 1.4dB under the limit. 4. The EUT meets the bandwidth requirements set forth in §15.231 (c). Certification by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)is required. This report, RSI‘s Test Procedure 4963E and FCC Form 731 must be submitted to the FCC for approval. RSI—5228E —s—
