     FCC RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION REPORT
                       FCC ID: KA2CHS161A1


Project No.       : 1808H001
Equipment         : Wi-Fi Water Sensor
Model             : DCH-S161
Applicant         : D-Link Corporation
Address           : 17595 Mt. Herrmann, Fountain Valley, California,
                   United States 92708
Exposure category : General population/uncontrolled environment
EUT Type:         : Production Unit (Engineer Sample)
Device Type       : Mobile Device


   1. Evaluation Method
Systems operating under the provisions of FCC 47 CFR section shall be operated in a manner that
ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s
guidelines.
In accordance with 47 CFR FCC Part 2 Subpart J, section 2.1091 this device has been defined as mobile
device whereby a distance of 0.2m normally can be maintained between the user and the device, and
below RF Permissible Exposure limit shall comply with.
In accordance with KDB447498D01 for Simultaneous transmission MPE test exclusion applies when the
sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated in a host device, based
on the calculated/estimated, numerically modeled or measured field strengths or power density, is ≤ 1.0.
The MPE ratio of each antenna is determined at the minimum test separation distance required by the
operating configurations and exposure conditions of the host device, according to the ratio of field
strengths or power density to MPE limit, at the test frequency. Either the maximum peak or spatially
averaged results from measurements or numerical simulations may be used to determine the MPE
ratios. Spatial averaging does not apply when MPE is estimated using simple calculations based on far-
field plane-wave equivalent conditions. The antenna installation and operating requirements for the
host device must meet the minimum test separation distances required by all antennas, in both
standalone and simultaneous transmission operations, to satisfy compliance.
