EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 80602.1a Report date: 26 September 2008 Section 15.209: Radiated emission limits, general requirements Radiated emissions testing was carried out over the frequency range of 100 kHz to 1000 MHz for all other emissions other than the fundamental emission. The 134.2 kHz emission is covered by the general requirements in this section. Testing was carried out in accordance with EMC Technologies Ltd registration with the Federal Communications Commission as a listed facility, registration number: 90838, which was last updated on January 27th , 2007. Testing was carried out at the laboratory’s open area test site - located at Driving Creek, Orere Point, Auckland, New Zealand. This site conforms to the requirements of CISPR 16, Part 1, Clause 16, and ANSI C63.4 - 2003. The device was placed on the fibreglass test table that has a dielectric constant near 1 which is a total of 0.8 m above the test site ground plane. 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, where appropriate, with an automated antenna tower. As the device is portable it was pre scanned in each of the three orthogonal polarities and was then formally tested in the worst case polarisation. Above 30 MHz emissions are measured in both vertical and horizontal antenna polarisations. Below 30 MHz measurements were made using a magnetic loop antenna that was orientated for the worst-case emission level. The emission level was determined in field strength by taking the following into consideration: Level(dBµV/m)= Receiver Reading(dBµV) + Antenna Factor(dB) + Coax Loss(dB) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Telephone: +64 9 360 0862 Fax: +64 9 360 0861 STREET ADDRESS - 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand E-mail: aucklab@ihug.co.nz POSTAL ADDRESS - PO Box 68 307, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand Web Site: www.emctech.com.au Page 9 of 32 This report may not be reproduced except in full

EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 80602.1a Report date: 26 September 2008 Fundamental emission: Measurements were made using a magnetic loop antenna and a receiver with an average detector and a peak detector both using a 9 kHz bandwidth. Measurements were made at a distance of 10 metres. The average limit at 300 metres (25 dBuV/m) has been extrapolated using a factor of 40 dB per decade that is defined in section 15.31 (f)(2). The peak limit is the average limit plus 20 dB The test set up was identical to the original test so the original photographs have been used. Before making a final measurement the device was manually rotated to determine the worst case orientation and then the antenna orientation was maximised. Measurements were made while the device was being powered at 12 Vdc using an external battery that was fully charged.

EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 80602.1a Report date: 26 September 2008 Section 15.247 (b) (1) & (3) – Peak output power As this device has no external antenna port, with the antenna being located internally; radiated measurements were made to determine the peak output power. The device was placed on the test table, being 80 cm above the ground plane, with the peak power output being determined in each of the 3 orthogonal angles with the worst case levels being recorded when measurements were made on a high, low and middle channel. Measurements were made with a peak detector and a bandwidth of 1 MHz when the device was transmitting continuously in vertical and horizontal polarisations.

The conducted power has been determined using the customer supplied antenna gain subtracted from the calculated radiated power that has been derived from the measured maximum field strength at 3 metres. The information supplied by the client is very minimal so the antenna gain has been assumed. The specification states that the module output power is less than 4 dBm which these results confirm. Result: Complies. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Telephone: +64 9 360 0862 Fax: +64 9 360 0861 STREET ADDRESS - 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand E-mail: aucklab@ihug.co.nz POSTAL ADDRESS - PO Box 68 307, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand Web Site: www.emctech.com.au Page 19 of 32 This report may not be reproduced except in full

EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 80602.1a Report date: 26 September 2008 Section 15.247 (i) – Radio Frequency Hazard Information As per Section 1.1310 and Section 2.1091 certification of this transmitter is sought using the Uncontrolled / General Public Exposure limits as detailed in OST/OET Bulletin Number 65. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. Power density, W/m2 = E2 /3770 General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limit will be 1.0 mW/cm2 as the device operates in the band 2400 – 2483.5 MHz. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain, transmitter dut y cycle and separation distance in metres: E, V/m = (√ (30 * P * G)) / d E = 1.0 mW/cm2 = E2 /3770 E= √1.0*3770 E = 61.4 V/m The rated measured transmitter power = -0.9 dBm which approximates 0 dBm (1 mW). Calculations have been made based upon the assumed rated power of 1 mW. The antenna for this device is integral. The safe distance has been calculated as follows. d = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E d = √ (30 * 0.001) / 61.4 d = 0.0003 metres or 0.3 cm Result: Complies. This device will comply with the 20 cm safe distance requirement. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Telephone: +64 9 360 0862 Fax: +64 9 360 0861 STREET ADDRESS - 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand E-mail: aucklab@ihug.co.nz POSTAL ADDRESS - PO Box 68 307, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand Web Site: www.emctech.com.au Page 20 of 32 This report may not be reproduced except in full

EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Test Report No 80602.1a Report date: 26 September 2008 Section 15.247 (c) – Out of band emissions As the transmitter does not have an external antenna port radiated measurements were made at the open area test site. The device was placed on the test table, being 0.8 m above the ground plane, with the front display facing the test antenna. Measurements were made using a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz where an emission fell outside of a restricted band. When an emission fell within a restricted band, above 1 GHz, a peak detector and an average detector with a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz were utilised in accordance with section 15.209. Below 1 GHz a quasi peak detector with a resolution bandwidth of 120 kHz was utilised. All measurements were initially made over a distance of 3 metres. In the unrestricted bands measurements were made to determine if the field strength of the emissions observed were more than 20 dB down on the highest in band emission level. 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. The emission is measured in both vertical and horizontal antenna polarisations. The emission level is determined in field strength by taking the following into consideration: Level (dBµV/m) = Receiver Reading (dBµV) + Antenna Factor (dB) + Coax Loss (dB) – Amplifier Gain (dB) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EMC Technologies (NZ) Ltd Telephone: +64 9 360 0862 Fax: +64 9 360 0861 STREET ADDRESS - 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand E-mail: aucklab@ihug.co.nz POSTAL ADDRESS - PO Box 68 307, Newton, Auckland, New Zealand Web Site: www.emctech.com.au Page 21 of 32 This report may not be reproduced except in full
