Doc Number Revision TCAS 3000 FCC Compliance Test Report 8002224-001 - 6 FCC COMPLIANCE TEST PLAN 6.1 FCC Compliance Overview The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Volume 1, Part 2, Subpart J (47CFR2.xxxx) provides procedures for radio frequency equipment to be authorized by the FCC. Certification is an equipment authorization issued by the commission, based on representations and test data submitted by the applicant. Certification attaches to all units subsequently marketed by the grantee which are identical (see section 6.1.2) to the sample tested except for permissive changes or other variations authorized by the commission. 6.1.1 FCC Identifier 47CFR2.924 states that equipment, which has been authorized by the FCC, bears an FCC Identifier. Equipment, which has been authorized, may be marketed under different model/type numbers or trade names without additional authorization from the commission, provided that such devices are electrically identical and the equipment bears an FCC Identifier validated by a grant of equipment authorization. 6.1.2 Changes in Certified Equipment 47CFR2.907, 8 defines Identical as either being units whose variances fall within those expected to arise as a result of quantity production techniques, or those that have been changed where the change meets the criteria of a permissive change. 47CFR2.1043 states that changes to the basic frequency determining and stabilizing circuitry (including clock or data rates), frequency multiplication stages, basic modulator circuit or maximum power or field strength ratings shall not be performed without application for and authorization of a new grant of certification. Variations in electrical or mechanical construction, other than the above indicated items, are permitted provided the variations either do not affect the characteristics required to be reported to the commission or are made in compliance with other provisions in 47CFR2.1043 Two classes of permissive changes may be made in certified equipment without requiring a new application for and grant of certification. Neither class of change shall result in a change of identification. x A Class I permissive change includes those modifications in the equipment that do not degrade the characteristics reported by the manufacturer and accepted by the commission when certification is granted (i.e., power, frequency, etc.). No filing with the commission is required for a Class I permissive change. xA Class II permissive change includes those modifications that degrade the performance characteristics as reported to the commission at the time of initial certification. 6.2 TCAS 3000 Units Similarity to Predecessor TCAS 2000 Unit ACSS Use or disclosure of the information on this sheet is subject to the Page 30 Proprietary proprietary notice on the title page.

Doc Number Revision TCAS 3000 FCC Compliance Test Report 8002224-001 - The TCAS 3000 units evolved from the predecessor TCAS 2000 unit. The TCAS 3000 units utilize the same TCAS circuit boards that the predecessor TCAS 2000 units utilize. These TCAS circuit boards have been previously certified with the FCC in the predecessor TCAS 2000 unit. Two TCAS 3000 units may be powered by either AC or DC power, and the third TCAS 3000 unit is powered exclusively from a DC power source. 6.3 TCAS 3000 Units to be Subjected to FCC Compliance Testing The TCAS 3000 6MCU unit will be subjected to the full suite of FCC compliance tests with the resulting data submitted to the FCC for certification. Due to mechanical differences, the TCAS 3000 4MCU unit will be subjected for the field strength of spurious radiation testing only. 6.4 All Three TCAS 3000 Units Considered Identical For the majority of FCC compliance testing and certification, all three TCAS 3000 units will be considered identical. Photographs of the TCAS 3000 units illustrating the assembly drawings, including markings, are shown in Figures 3 – 29. All original photographs are available for inspection. Differences exist between the three TCAS 3000 units, however these differences fall within the definition of a Class I permissive change because the items which provide the transmit and receive functions (the TCAS circuit boards and their software) are the same in all three TCAS 3000 units. 6.4.1 Conclusion The full suite of FCC compliance tests were performed on a TCAS 3000 6MCU unit (9003000- 10001). Due to mechanical differences, the TCAS 3000 4MCU unit (9003000-65001) was subjected to field strength of spurious radiation testing only. The 9003000-55001 and 9003000- 65001 units are considered identical per the FCC definition. Test data for TCAS 3000 units compliance testing will be submitted to the FCC to apply for a new certification and FCC identifier for the TCAS 3000 family of units.
