1.2    Samples Submitted for Assessment

The following samples of the apparatus have been submitted for type assessment:


Sample No.           Description                                     Serial No.

        7a           Boom angle transducer                           None
        7b           Boom angle transducer                           None
        7c           Boom angle transducer                           None

1.3    Theory of Operation

The Crane Smart Angle is a wireless boom angle transducer for cranes and heavy lifting
equipment. It measures the boom angle of the crane in real time, digitizes this angle, and then
transmits the result using a 900 MHz packet transmitter.




                                                                                           Page 4 of 18

Test Results:
                  See Attached Table for Results

Additional Observations:
             The Spectrum was searched from 30MHz to the 10th Harmonic.

                  These results apply to emissions found in the Restricted bands defined in FCC
                  Part 15 Subpart C, 15.205.

                  The EUT was measured on three orthogonal axis. The EUT was tested with fresh
                  new batteries.

                  All measurements were performed at 3m with a Peak detector of 100kHz
                  RBW/VBW below 1GHz and a Peak detector of 1MHz RBW/VBW above 1GHz.

Clause 15.215(c) Occupied Bandwidth

Intentional radiators operating under the alternative provisions to the general emission limits, as contained in
§§15.217 through 15.257 and in Subpart E of this part, must be designed to ensure that the 20 dB bandwidth of the
emission, or whatever bandwidth may otherwise be specified in the specific rule section under which the equipment
operates, is contained within the frequency band designated in the rule section under which the equipment is
operated. The requirement to contain the designated bandwidth of the emission within the specified frequency band
includes the effects from frequency sweeping, frequency hopping and other modulation techniques that may be
employed as well as the frequency stability of the transmitter over expected variations in temperature and supply
voltage. If a frequency stability is not specified in the regulations, it is recommended that the fundamental emission
be kept within at least the central 80% of the permitted band in order to minimize the possibility of out-of-band
operation.
