1.0 INTRODUCTION


This document is a report of tests to determine the ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) characteristics of
the PAT Motion Alert Systems presented by Intuitive Control System of State College, Pennsylvania.


The purpose of the testing was to evaluate the EMI characteristics of the test sample with respect to
Subpart C of Part 15 of the FCC Rules for Intentional Radiators.


Test setups and procedures are described in RSI's Test Procedures 2059E/2 (see Appendix A) and test
results are summarized herein on graphs.


All test procedures used meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute Procedure
C63.4: "Methods of Measurements of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and
Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9kHz to 40GHz" dated 17 July 1992.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT)


The PAT Motion Alert System, manufactured by Intuitive Control Systems of State College, Penn-
sylvania, is a safety device system.


The transmitter sends a 916.4MHz carrier signal to the receiver/alarm, which would typically be
mounted on a crane. An audible beep and/or a flashing light warning is activated alerting workers in the
area that the crane is in motion or use to aid in avoiding injuries and alerting to stay clear of the work
area.


Hereinafter, the PAT Motion Alert System will be referred to as the EUT (Equipment Under Test).

4.0 TEST RESULTS
4.1 Radiated Emissions (FCC Part 15 Section 15.249)


Radiated Emissions Testing was performed to the requirements of FCC Part 15 Subpart C Section
15.249 at the Radiation Sciences Inc. (RSI) Open Area Test Site (OATS) located at 3131 Detwiler
Road in Harleysville, Pennsylvania.


Prior to testing, the EUT was pre-scanned with a near-field probe and spectrum analyzer. The probe
was moved over the entire surface and all cables of the EUT and any emitting frequencies were re-
corded.


The EUT was then placed on a non-conductive turntable 80cm above the ground plane. The appropriate
receiving antenna was placed on an antenna mast. Radiated Emissions testing was performed at a 10-
meter distance from the EUT. The complete frequency range of 30MHz to 1000MHz was scanned with
a Rohde & Schwarz CISPR Compliant Receiver. All signals were maximized by rotating the EUT 360°
and moving the antenna from 1 to 4 meters in height. The maximum Radiated Emissions for the unin-
tentional frequencies were then recorded and compared to the limits of FCC Part 15 Section 15.209.


For the intentional frequency the EUT was tested at a distance of 3 meters. The levels of the fundamen-
tal frequency and harmonics of the fundamental were maximized and compared to FCC Part 15 Section
15.249 limits. At frequencies above 1GHz a spectrum analyzer was used to record peak emissions.


The test setup diagram is shown in Figure 1. Test setup photographs are shown in Figures 2 & 3.
The results of Radiated Emissions testing are shown in Figures 4 through 9.


THE EUT COMPLIES WITH THE LIMITS OF FCC PART 15 SUBPART C RADIATED
EMISSIONS.
