The signed original of this report, supplied to the client, represents the only “official” copy. Retention
of any additional copies (electronic or non-electronic media) is at Acme Testing’s discretion to meet
internal requirements only.       The client has made the determination that EUT Condition,
Characterization, and Mode of Operation are representative of production units, and meet the
requirements of the specifications referenced herein.

Consistent with Industry practice, measurement and test equipment not directly involved in obtaining
measurement results but having an impact on measurements (such as cable loss, antenna factors, etc.)
are factored into the “Correction Factor” documented in certain test results. Instrumentation employed
for testing meets tolerances consistent with known Industry Standards and Regulations.

The measurements contained in this report were made in accordance with the referenced standards and
all applicable Public Notices received prior to the date of testing. Acme Testing assumes responsibility
only for the accuracy and completeness of this data as it pertains to the sample tested.

4. Antenna requirement

4.1 Regulation

15.203 An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by
the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an
antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply
with the provisions of Part 15C. The manufacturer may design the unit so that the user can replace a
broken antenna, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This
requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of
Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221. Further, this requirement does not apply to
intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and
some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with Section
15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible for
ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this Part are not exceeded.


4.2 Result

The intentional radiator uses a wire soldered directly to the PCB.

   Line Impedance Stabilization Network: Rhode & Schwarz ESH2-Z5, Serial Number ACMERS1,
   Calibrated: 1 September 1999, Calibration due Date: 1 September 2000


5.2 Purpose

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the level of conducted noise the EUT imposes on the AC mains.

5.3 Test Procedures

For tabletop equipment, the EUT is placed on a 1 meter by 1.5 meters wide and 0.8 meter high
nonconductive table that is placed above the groundplane. Floor standing equipment is placed directly
on the groundplane. Any supplemental grounding mechanisms are connected, if appropriate. The EUT
is connected to its associated peripherals, with any excess I/O cabling bundled to approximately 1
meter. The EUT is connected to a dedicated LISN and all peripherals are connected to a second
separate LISN circuit. The LISNs are bonded to the groundplane.

Preview tests are performed to determine the “worst case” mode of operation. With the EUT operating
in “worst case” mode, final conducted measurements are taken. Conducted measurements are made on
each current carrying conductor with respect to ground.

6. Radiated Emissions

6.1 Regulation

      (a) The field strength of emissions from intentional radiators operated within these frequency
          bands shall comply with the following:

      (b) Field strength limits are specified at a distance of 3 meters.
      (c) Emissions radiated outside of the specified frequency bands, except for harmonics, shall be
          attenuated by at least 50 dB below the level of the fundamental or to the general radiated
          emission limits in Section 15.209, whichever is the lesser attenuation.
      (d) As shown in Section 15.35(b), for frequencies above 1000 MHz, the above field strength
          limits are based on average limits. However, the peak field strength of any emission shall
          not exceed the maximum permitted average limits specified above by more than 20 dB
          under any condition of modulation.

6.3 Test Procedures

For tabletop equipment, the EUT is placed on a 1 meter by 1.5 meters wide and 0.8 meter high
nonconductive table that sits on a flush mounted metal turntable. Floor standing equipment is placed
directly on the flush mounted metal turntable. The EUT is connected to its associated peripherals with
any excess I/O cabling bundled to approximately 1 meter.

Preview tests are performed to determine the “worst case” mode of operation. With the EUT operating
in “worst case” mode, emissions from the unit are maximized by adjusting the polarization and height
of the receive antenna and rotating the EUT on the turntable. Manipulating the system cables also
maximizes EUT emissions.
