2.1.3 Variants
There is only a single variant of the EUT, as tested. Normal samples were actuated for worst case on time, worst
case emission bandwidth, and CW mode. Please see the description of operation exhibit supplied with this filing
detailing the operating modes of this device.

Three samples in total were provided. Two normal samples capable of normal, test, and CW mode activation. One
sample un-potted for testing and photographs.

Normal operating EUT functionality was verified by observation of transmitted signal from EUT after LF activation.

2.1.6 Modifications Made
There were no modifications made to the EUT by this laboratory.

2.1.7 Production Intent
The EUT appears to be a production ready sample.

2.1.8 Declared Exemptions and Additional Product Notes
The EUT is permanently installed in a transportation vehicle. The EUT also employs some modes of operation that
alert the vehicle user of sudden changes in tire pressure. A detailed list of all operating modes is included in the
Description of Operation exhibit included in this application.

3 Emissions
3.1 General Test Procedures
3.1.1 Radiated Test Setup and Procedures
Radiated electromagnetic emissions from the EUT are first evaluated in our shielded fully anechoic chamber. Spec-
trum and modulation characteristics of all emissions are recorded, and emissions above 1 GHz are fully characterized.
The anechoic chamber contains a set-up similar to that of our outdoor 3-meter site, with a turntable and antenna
mast. Instrumentation, including spectrum analyzers and other test equipment as detailed in Section 1.2 are em-
ployed. After indoor pre-scans, emission measurements up to 1 GHz are made on our outdoor 3-meter Open Area
Test Site (OATS). If the EUT connects to auxiliary equipment and is table or floor standing, the configurations
prescribed in ANSI C63.4 / CISPR 22 are followed. Alternatively, a layout closest to normal use (as declared by the
provider) is employed if the resulting emissions appear to be worst-case in such a configuration. See Figure 3.

Radiated Emissions Table

Figure 3: Radiated Emissions Diagram of the EUT.

All intentionally radiating elements are placed on the test table lying flat, on their side, and on their end (3-axes)
and the resulting worst case emissions are recorded. For both horizontal and vertical polarizations, the test antenna
is raised and lowered from 1 to 4 m in height until a maximum emission level is detected. The EUT is then rotated
through 360o in azimuth until the highest emission is detected. The test antenna is then raised and lowered one last
time from 1 to 4 m and the worst case value is recorded. Photographs of the test setup employed are depicted in
Figure 4.
If the EUT exhibits spurious emissions due to internal receiver circuitry, such emissions are measured with an
appropriate carrier signal applied. For devices with intentional emissions below 30 MHz, a shielded loop antenna
is used as the test antenna. It is placed at a 1 meter receive height and appropriate low frequency magnetic field
extrapolation to the regulatory limit distance is employed. Emissions between 30 MHz and 1 GHz are measured
using tuned dipoles and/or calibrated broadband antennas. Emissions above 1 GHz are characterized using standard
gain horn antennas. Care is taken to ensure that test receiver resolution and video bandwidths meet the regulatory
requirements, and that the emission bandwidth of the EUT is not reduced.
Where regulations allow for direct measurement of field strength, power values (dBm) measured on the test
receiver / analyzer are converted to dBµV/m at the regulatory distance, using
Edist = 107 + PR + KA − KG + KE − CF
where PR is the power recorded on spectrum analyzer, in dBm, KA is the test antenna factor in dB/m, KG is the
combined pre-amplifier gain and cable loss in dB, KE is duty correction factor (when applicable) in dB, and CF is
a distance conversion (employed only if limits are specified at alternate distance) in dB. This field strength value is
then compared with the regulatory limit. If effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is compute, it is computed as
EIRP (dBm) = E3m (dBµV /m) − 95.2.

3.1.2 Conducted Emissions Test Setup and Procedures
Battery Power Conducted Spurious The EUT is not subject to power line conducted emissions measurements
when it is powered solely by its internal battery.

3.1.3 Power Supply Variation
Tests at extreme supply voltages are made if required by the the procedures specified in the test standard, and results
of this testing are detailed in this report.
In the case the EUT is designed for operation from a lead-acid battery power source, the extreme test voltages
are evaluated between 90% and 130% of the nominal battery voltage declared by the manufacturer. For float charge
applications using gel-cell type batteries, extreme test voltages are evaluated between 85% and 115% of the nominal
battery voltage declared. For all battery operated equipment, worst case intentional and spurious emissions are
re-checked employing a new (fully charged) battery.

3.1.4 Thermal Variation
Tests at extreme temperatures are made if required by the procedures specified in the test standard, and results of
this testing are detailed in this report. The provider has declared that the EUT is designed for operation over the
temperature range −40o C to +85o C. Before any temperature measurements are made, the equipment is allowed to
reach a thermal balance in the test chamber, temperature and humidity are recorded, and thermal balance is verified
via a thermocouple based probe.
