4    Subject of Investigation

The objective of the measurements done by CETECOM Inc. was to measure the performance of the
EUT as specified by requirements listed in FCC rules Part 15.231 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations and Industry Canada Standards RSS 210 Issue 8.

This test report is to support a request for new equipment authorization under the
FCC ID: PAXPMVC015 and IC ID: 3729A-PMVC015.

All testing was performed on the product referred to in Section 3 as EUT.
This test report contains full radiated and conducted testing results as per

    •   47 CFR Part 15: Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations: Chapter I-Federal Communications
        Commission subchapter A- General, Part 15- Radio Frequency Devices.
    •   RSS-210 Issue 8: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications- Radio Standards
        Specification. Low-power License-exempt radio communication devices (All frequency bands):

5    Modes of operation:

Four modes of operation are possible: Stationary, Rotating, Pressure Alert and Temperature Alert.

As the average output power is the same for all modes, it was deemed necessary to only measure the
timing behavior in one mode.

The Trigger box provided by the customer was used to force transmit modulated signal for 30 minutes
(18000 frames/ 0.1 sec interval) for performing the measurements.


6    Testing Notes

The stationary and rotating mode will be certified according to §15.231(e).

The pressure alert mode and the high temperature alert mode will be certified according §15.231(a).

These two modes are automatic transmission modes and will only be activated when a rapid pressure
change or temperature change is detected.




                                                                                             Page 8 of 28

9     Measurements

9.1    Radiated Measurement Procedure

ANSI C63.4 (2009) Section 8.3.1.1: Exploratory radiated emission measurements

Exploratory radiated measurements shall be performed at the measurement distance or at a closer
distance than that specified for compliance to determine the emission characteristics of the EUT. At near
distances, for EUTs of comparably small size, it is relatively easy to determine the spectrum signature of
the EUT and, if applicable, the EUT configuration that produces the maximum level of emissions. A
shielded room may be used for exploratory testing, but may have anomalies that can lead to significant
errors in amplitude measurements.

Broadband antennas and a spectrum analyzer or a radio-noise meter with a panoramic display are often
useful in this type of testing. It is recommended that either a headset or loudspeaker be connected as an
aid in detecting ambient signals and finding frequencies of significant emission from the EUT when the
exploratory and final testing is performed in an OATS with strong ambient signals. Caution should be
taken if either antenna height between 1 and 4 meters or EUT azimuth is not fully explored. Not fully
exploring these parameters during exploratory testing may require complete testing at the OATS or semi-
anechoic chamber when the final full spectrum testing is conducted.

The EUT should be set up in its typical configuration and arrangement, and operated in its various
modes. For tabletop systems, cables or wires should be manipulated within the range of likely
arrangements. For floor-standing equipment, the cables or wires should be located in the same manner as
the user would install them and no further manipulation is made. For combination EUTs, the tabletop
and floor-standing portions of the EUT shall follow the procedures for their respective setups and cable
manipulation. If the manner of cable installation is not known, or if it changes with each installation,
cables or wires for floor-standing equipment shall be manipulated to the extent possible to produce the
maximum level of emissions.

For each mode of operation required to be tested, the frequency spectrum shall be monitored. Variations
in antenna height between 1 and 4 m, antenna polarization, EUT azimuth, and cable or wire placement
(each variable within bounds specified elsewhere) shall be explored to produce the emission that has the
highest amplitude relative to the limit. A step-by-step technique for determining this emission can be
found in Annex C.

When measuring emissions above 1 GHz, the frequencies of maximum emission shall be determined by
manually positioning the antenna close to the EUT and by moving the antenna over all sides of the EUT
while observing a spectral display. It will be advantageous to have prior knowledge of the frequencies of
emissions above 1 GHz. If the EUT is a device with dimensions approximately equal to that of the
measurement antenna beamwidth, the measurement antenna shall be aligned with the EUT.




                                                                                              Page 12 of 28

Date of Report :   2013-10-21                                 IC ID: 3729A-PMVC015


ANSI C63.4 (2009) Section 8.3.1.2: Final radiated emission measurements

Based on the measurement results in 8.3.1.1, the one EUT, cable and wire arrangement, and mode of
operation that produces the emission that has the highest amplitude relative to the limit is selected for the
final measurement. The final measurement is then performed on a site meeting the requirements of 5.3,
5.4, or 5.5 as appropriate without variation of the EUT arrangement or EUT mode of operation. If the
EUT is relocated from an exploratory test site to a final test site, the highest emission shall be
remaximized at the final test location before final radiated emissions measurements are performed.
However, antenna height and polarity and EUT azimuth are to be varied. In addition, the full frequency
spectrum (for the range to be checked for meeting compliance) shall be investigated.

This investigation is performed with the EUT rotated 360°, the antenna height scanned between 1 m and
4 m, and the antenna rotated to repeat the measurements for both the horizontal and vertical antenna
polarizations. During the full frequency spectrum investigation, particular focus should be made on those
frequencies found in exploratory testing that were used to find the final test configuration, mode of
operation, and arrangement (associated with achieving the least margin with respect to the limit). This
full spectrum test constitutes the compliance measurement.

For measurements above 1 GHz, use the cable, EUT arrangement, and mode of operation determined in
the exploratory testing to produce the emission that has the highest amplitude relative to the limit. Place
the measurement antenna away from each area of the EUT determined to be a source of emissions at the
specified measurement distance, while keeping the antenna in the “cone of radiation” from that area and
pointed at the area both in azimuth and elevation, with polarization oriented for maximum response. The
antenna may have to be higher or lower than the EUT, depending on the EUT’s size and mounting
height, but the antenna should be restricted to a range of heights of from 1 m to 4 m above the ground or
reference ground plane. If the transmission line for the measurement antenna restricts its range of height
and polarization, the steps needed to ensure the correct measurement of the maximum emissions, shall
be described in detail in the report of measurements. Data collected shall satisfy the report requirements
of Clause 10.

NOTES

1— Where limits are specified by agencies for both average and peak (or quasi-peak) detection, if the
peak (or quasi-peak) measured value complies with the average limit, it is unnecessary to perform an
average measurement.
2—Use of waveguide and flexible waveguide may be necessary at frequencies above 10 GHz to achieve
usable signal-to noise ratios at required measurement distances. If so, it may be necessary to restrict the
height search of the antenna, and special care should be taken to ensure that maximum emissions are
correctly measured.
3—All presently known devices causing emissions above 10 GHz are physically small compared with
the beam-widths of typical horn antennas used for EMC measurements. For such EUTs and frequencies,
it may be preferable to vary the height and polarization of the EUT instead of the receiving antenna to
maximize the measured emissions.

9.3     Transmitter Fundamental Field Strength

9.3.1    Limits:

RSS 210 Issue 8 A.1.1.2
§15.231 (e)
Intentional radiators may operate at a periodic rate exceeding that specified in paragraph (a) of this
section and may be employed for any type of operation, including operation prohibited in paragraph (a)
of this section, provided the intentional radiator complies with the provisions of paragraphs (b) through
(d) of this section, except the field strength table in paragraph (b) of this section is replaced by the
following:




1
 Linear interpolations.
 The above field strength limits are specified at a distance of 3 meters. The tighter limits apply at the
band edges.
 Intentional radiators operating under the provisions of this section shall demonstrate compliance with
the limits on the field strength of emissions, as shown in the above table, based on the average value of
the measured emissions. As an alternative, compliance with the limits in the above table may be based
on the use of measurement instrumentation with a CISPR quasi-peak detector. The specific method of
measurement employed shall be specified in the application for equipment authorization. If average
emission measurements are employed, the provisions in §15.35 for averaging pulsed emissions and for
limiting peak emissions apply. Further, compliance with the provisions of §15.205 shall be demonstrated
using the measurement instrumentation specified in that section.

For the EUT operating at 314.98 MHz, the fundamental field strength limit is calculated as follows:

Field Strength = (16.67x F) – 2833.33 where F is the frequency in MHz
                       = 2417.30 µV/m
                       = 67.66 dB µV/m

Note: As the peak field strength is the same for all modes of operation, it was deemed necessary to only measure
the field strength in one mode. While the pressure alert and high temperature alert mode are being compliant
under §15.231(a), additional measurement is deemed unnecessary as they already comply with the most stringent
limits of §15.231(e).

9.5     Transmitter 20dB Bandwidth

9.5.1 Limits:
9.5.1.1 §15.231 (c)
The bandwidth of the emission shall be no wider than 0.25% of the center frequency for devices
operating above 70 MHz and below 900 MHz. For devices operating above 900 MHz, the emission shall
be no wider than 0.5% of the center frequency. Bandwidth is determined at the points 20 dB down from
the modulated carrier.
For 314.98 MHz transmitter, the 20 dB Bandwidth limit is 0.0025 x 314.98 MHz = 787.45 kHz.
Therefore, 20dB bandwidth should be <787.45 kHz.

Transmit on time = 7.93 ms;
Period= 100 ms;
Duty Cycle=7.93 %

Correction factor = 20 Log (Pulse Duration (ms)/ 100 ms) = 20Log (13.46/100) = -22.01 dB
Note: Regardless of the transmission mode, the maximum number of bursts in 100ms is 1 and therefore
the duty cycle can never exceed the above calculated value.

9.8     Transmitter Spurious Emissions- Radiated

9.8.1    References:
         FCC CFR 2.1053
         FCC CFR 15.231 (e) and 15.209
9.8.2    Measurement requirements:

9.8.2.1 FCC 2.1053: Field strength of spurious radiation.
Measurements shall be made to detect spurious emissions that may be radiated directly from the cabinet,
control circuits, power leads or intermediate circuit elements under normal conditions of installation and
operation. Curves or equivalent data shall be supplied showing the magnitude of each harmonic and
other spurious emission.

9.8.3    Limits:
         §15.231 (e)




Note: As the peak field strength is the same for all modes of operation, it was deemed necessary to only measure
the field strength in one mode. While the pressure alert and high temperature alert mode are being compliant
under §15.231(a), additional measurement is deemed unnecessary as they already comply with the most stringent
limits of §15.231(e).

9.8.4    Measurement Settings:
         Peak detector used for the measurements- with RBW=120KHz for measurements below 1GHz
         and RBW= 1MHz for measurements above 1GHz.
         Testing performed up to 10x Transmit frequency.

         Measurement distance= 3m

         Measurement mode: The Trigger box provided by the customer was used to force transmit
         modulated signal for 30 minutes (18000 frames / 0.1 sec interval) for performing the
         measurements.
