Figure 1 and Table 2: Personnel Alert Base Station
(describes the base station external components). Figure 2 and Table 3: Control Bay
(describes the base station control bay components). Figure 3 and Table 4: Base Display Elements
(describe the base station display elements). Figure 7 and Table 6: Main Board
(describe the base station main board). Figure 8 and Table 7: Radio Board
(describe the base station radio board). 5 Personnel Alert: Base Station User Manual The Personnel Alert Base Station The Personnel Alert Base Station (base station) is a wireless alarm notification system that is designed to operate in conjunction with fixed gas detection equipment and/or plant alarm systems. The base station continuously broadcasts to portable alarm receivers (badges). If an alarm condition is received from a fixed gas detection unit or from a plant alarm system, the base station immediately broadcasts the alarm to all badges within the coverage area. For more information about the badges, refer to Badges. Each base station maintains an individual number and alarm acknowledgement information for each badge. This information is used to account for personnel during an alarm response situation, such as an evacuation. Table 2. Personnel Alert Base Station Item 1 2 3 Function 2 dBi dipole antenna Explosion-proof enclosure Cable conduit access 1-256 badges can be monitored on a single base station simultaneously. Up to 999 badge IDs can be recognized by 6 each base station, depending upon the database and configuration of the overall system. Figure 1. Personnel Alert Base Station Control Bay Each base station maintains a control bay that consists of an LCD screen and a low light sensor to provide information to monitoring personnel. Table 3. Control Bay Function Liquid crystal display (LCD) Low-light sensor Faceplate security screw Item 1 2 3 The control bay does not have any manual functions and is used to provide information only. To set parameters and configurations for badges and monitoring coverage areas, refer to Area System Planning and Setting the Badge IDs.

Base Display Elements Item 1 2 3 4 5 Function Transmission signal icon Numeric value of badges being monitored in the coverage area Alarm icon Numeric value of how many badges have acknowledged the alarm Alarm severity level: HIGH, LOW, and SYTEM. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) The LCD displays information automatically and continuously. It displays the transmission signal icon to indicate that it is broadcasting, how many badges are currently in the coverage area, if there is an alarm, the severity of the alarm, and how many badges have acknowledged the alarm. 8 Figure 3. Base Display Elements The base station continually broadcasts to the badges within the designated coverage area. If a badge is no longer detected after 10 seconds, the base station determines that the worker is no longer in the coverage area. The base station then decreases the numeric value by one and displays the new value on the LCD. When a new badge is detected, the value automatically increases. Badges The alarm receivers are referred to as badges that are carried by personnel to provide immediate notification in the event of an alarm condition. The badges continuously monitor broadcast messages from the base station(s). If an alarm condition occurs, the badges emit audible and visual alarms, and vibrate. The badge LCD also displays the severity of an alarm: HIGH, LOW, and SYSTEM. If alarm notification is received, personnel then use the badge to acknowledge the alarm. A message is immediately sent back to the base station while personnel are evacuating the area. Table 5.

To optimize the radio performance and acquire maximum coverage, install the base station at or near the centre of the selected coverage area. Install the base 4-5 meters (8-10 ft.) above ground level. Ensure that the base station is not obstructed by surrounding objects. Do not install the base station below 6 ft. of the above ground level as the range of the transmitter will be reduced. Do not install the base station directly against a wall, especially a metal wall. To prevent impaired radio performance, ensure the base station is installed with a minimum of 18 inches clearance from the wall. If possible, install the base station in a location where the antenna will have a clear line-of-sight with the badges. Install the base station as far away as possible from other antenna systems to avoid possible radio frequency interference (RFI). Do not locate the base where it can be exposed to electrical shock and/or severe mechanical shock. Note Atmospheric conditions may cause signal loss. aWarning The Personnel Alert Base Station is only certified with the supplied 2 dBi dipole antenna. Do not substitute this antenna with another. 12 Preparation for Mounting the Base From the front view, the base station is equipped with pre-
drilled mounting flanges and a threaded inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) conduit fitting outlet on the left side. Attach the base station to a bracket and mount on a pole using bolts through the two mounting holes. Table 8.

Testing Manual Alarms aWarning If the area is classified, the base station must be de-energized before testing alarm contacts. Radio Frequency (RF) Optimization The radio configuration requires that the base station channel hopping pattern be set, and the transmit/receive attenuation levels be adjusted. Channel Hopping Pattern The base station hops randomly to fifty frequencies, continually repeating the transmit-listen-hop pattern. Figure 15. Alarm Relay Contact on Radio Board 24 The hopping pattern for each base station is selected from one of seven channel-hopping algorithms. On the radio board, the hopping pattern can be selected from S2, by configuring the binary representation of channels 0 through 7. Set the binary representation as follows:
bit 0
= switch is closed bit 1
= switch is open Personnel Alert: Base Station Radio Frequency (RF) Optimization Single Base Station System: For systems that require only one base station, any dip switch setting can be used on S2. Multi Base Station Systems: For systems consisting of more than seven base stations, the risk of interference is minimal when using the recommended Honeycomb pattern setup mode. The optimum layout for multi base station systems is the Honeycomb pattern. Refer to Area System Planning and Figure 5.Honeycomb Pattern. The numbers in each hexagon represent the decimal equivalent for the dip switch setting that should be used for switch S2. Maintain a record of the pattern that is selected for each base station to ensure that settings are not duplicated for adjacent base stations. Refer to Table 6 for an example. Table 14.

Zoltan 25 Personnel Alert: Base Station User Manual a Caution For multi-base station installations, ensure that adjacent base stations do not have the same hopping pattern, as interference will result. The following Table 7. Frequency Hopping Pattern represents the decimal to binary conversion for the dip switch S2 settings. 0-6 and 7=1 (Zoltan) Table 15. Frequency Hopping Pattern Decimal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 111 100 101 011 110 010 001 Binary Adjusting the Transmit/Receive Attenuation Levels Area coverage of the base station can be controlled by adjusting the transmit/receive attenuation levels in the base station to match the actual radio coverage area that was determined during the area system planning. The attenuation adjustments are also used to tune the amount of coverage overlap between base stations. Proper operation of the Personnel Alert system requires that robust data transfer in both directions: from the base station to the badges, and from the badges to the base station. 26 The 1 Watt maximum transmit power of the base station can never be exceeded. However, by using the attenuation adjustments, it can be reduced by up to 40dB. Attenuation can also be used to adjust the receive path in the base station to maintain a similar loss in both the receive and transmit links. The transmit power levels and the receive sensitivity are fixed for the badges and cannot be adjusted. To adjust the base station attenuation levels, it is necessary to physically walk with a badge within the coverage area(s) to determine the range of each base station. After establishing the boundaries between the coverage areas, review the site plans to determine if base station power levels need to be reduced. If a coverage hole is revealed, verify if an additional base station is required, attenuation reduction of the neighbouring base stations is required, the mounting height of the base station needs to be increased, or the location of the base station needs to be changed. Note Adjusting attenuation levels requires trial and error to test various settings for optimum transmission. For the base station, initially set both the transmit and receive paths to minimum attenuation levels for maximum power. If overlapping results between base stations, then adjust the attenuation to reduce the span of the coverage area. c) Transmit Rotary Switch: The transmitter rotary switch is used to increase/decrease the base station output power. Figure 16. Transmit Rotary Switch Maximum Power Setting Set the switch to F for maximum output power. Set the switch to E to decrease the output power by 2dB and 0 decreases by 30db.

Receiver Rotary Switch Maximum Sensitivity Set the switch to F for maximum receiver sensitivity. Set the switch to E to decrease the sensitivity by 2dB and set to 0 for minimum. Refer to Table 14. Receiver Sensitivity Switch. The switch setting for the receiver sensitivity (Rx Gain) should be set the same as the transmit switch (Tx Gain) to balance the transmit/receive path losses. Note If the RR jumper is shorted, it further reduces the receiver sensitivity by 11-12 dB. 28 Table 17. Receiver Sensitivity Switch Rx Chain Attenuation Rx Gain Rotary Switch Setting F

For normal operation (high Tx power/high Rx sensitivity), open the reduced radio range jumper. Note This jumper should only be used when the transmit/receive rotary switches are incapable of providing sufficient signal attenuation for defined small coverage areas. open = only one pin is covered graphic When the reduced range jumper is closed, an additional 10 dB is acquired for the transmit attenuation. The receive sensitivity for the base station is reduced by 11-12 dB. Personnel Alert: Base Station Setting the Badge ID Setting the Badge ID The base station maintains the ID number and alarm acknowledgement information for each badge while in the coverage area. This information is used to account for personnel during an alarm response situation, such as an evacuation. 1-256 badges can be monitored on a single base station simultaneously. Up to 999 badge IDs can be recognized by each base station, depending upon the database and configuration of the overall system. Setting-up Badge ID Numbers The badge ID number is used to identify the employee who is carrying the corresponding badge during an alarm condition. When setting up ID numbers, maintain a log to verify employees and badge ID numbers. Refer to the following table. Table 18. Active Badge Table Employee Name Badge ID#
John Smith Jane Doe 001 002 29 Personnel Alert: Base Station User Manual Setting-up the Badge IDs Read the following procedures prior to accessing the badge ID set-up screen. To set-up the badge ID numbers, complete the following:
Note The badge IDs should be set-up prior to the employee entering the coverage area to ensure proper safety. The NO SIGNAL icon displays during the setup. Receiving broadcasts are not required during the set-up process. The base station will automatically identify any badge that has been set-up. 1. The badge set-up can only be accessed during the start-up process. If required, deactivate the badge. 2. Press C and continue to hold until the badge ID setup screen displays and the side LED flashes once (approximately 10 seconds). 30 The badge emits the audible alarm, flashes, and vibrates the same as during normal start-up. The audible alarm, flashes, and vibrating will stop for 3 seconds. Continue to hold the C button. When the side LED lights, release and immediately press C again. Area System Planning Base stations can be configured to operate as single or multiple notification systems, depending upon the area of the zones, complexity of the area (buildings / obstructions), indoor and/or outdoor installations, alarm/emergency response procedures, number of badges, and the functional requirements of the badges. The base station system can be configured for individual and unique requirements. Note Area system planning and configurations must be performed by qualified personnel only. Personnel Alert: Base Station Area System Planning Note Radio link and capacity can be affected and reduced by radio interference from other wireless sources outside of the Personnel Alert system, as well as other base stations. The base station transmitter default setting is set just below the 1 Watt maximum limit. The badges transmit at a fixed RF power level of approximately 50 mW (17 dBm). Systems without a sufficient number of base stations can experience coverage holes where communication between the base station and the badges is not reliable, therefore placing personnel at possible risk. To resolve the challenge of adequate coverage, use a honeycomb pattern system. Refer to Figure 19. Prior to configuring the base station, an area system plan must be developed. To determine the particular requirements of your system, complete the following sections:
Single or Multiple Stations To determine if single or multiple base stations are required, the overall area must be known. Each base station is designed to accurately broadcast to a radius of 45 metres
(150 ft.). The base station can broadcast to a radius of 150 metres (500 ft.) across open terrain and flat areas. Each base station can accurately broadcast to and track up to 256 badges. Use the following guidelines to determine the system requirements. Area and Radio Frequency (RF) Coverage It is necessary to initially determine how large of an area each base station will be broadcasting to. The base station operates on the 902-928 MHz unlicensed radio band, and is subject to federal regulations that restrict RF to transmit power to a maximum of 1 Watt (30dBm) or less. 31 Personnel Alert: Base Station User Manual Figure 18. Honeycomb Pattern Each number represents the recommended frequency hopping pattern for the dip switch settings. For information refer to Channel Hopping Patterns and Setting the Dip Switch Addresses. 32 To develop a system plan, complete the following:
1. Using a site plan (scale drawing) or an AutoCAD model, design a repeating pattern of seven hexagonal cells in a honeycomb to determine the number and approximate locations of the base stations. The seven cell honeycomb pattern is optimum because it allows for the re-use of frequency hopping pattern algorithms within the same system. 2. To determine the location of a base station, consider where it will obtain optimum transmission with surrounding badges. The final layout will not result in a perfect honeycomb pattern. However, if the base stations are installed within ten meters of the layout location, required coverage will be achieved. 3. When more than one base station is required to adequately cover an area, use the hexagon cell with a distance of 90 m (300 ft.) between opposite corners. Each hexagon equals a radius of 45 m
(150 ft.). Refer to Figure 6. Base Station Broadcast Coverage. Figure 19. Base Station Broadcast Coverage Note Determine system planning by using a 45 m (150 ft.) coverage radius around each base station. Do not exceed the radius as radio transmissions can be compromised. 4. When a honeycomb pattern system has been defined on paper, ensure that the selected physical locations are feasible for installation of the base stations. Personnel Alert: Base Station Area System Planning Identify System Obstruction RF Challenges Radio signals transmit well over flat terrain and open water. However, buildings, metal tanks, and other obstructions can interrupt radio transmissions and will therefore require additional base stations to be strategically placed. Placement of base stations within buildings and structures is a factor as walls, pipes, and plant equipment are obstructions. Additional factors that can reduce area coverage are high levels of electrical noise, large metal structures, and inadequate number of base stations on a system. RF interference, As continuous radio transmissions are essential to ensure effective and constant communication between the base station and the badges, line-of-site placement can effectively resolve obstruction challenges. System Capacity / Badge Requirements Next determine how many badges will be receiving broadcasts from each base station (1-256 per base station). The badges can be used to only notify personnel of alarms, or they can also be used for alarm acknowledgement with ID tracking. 33 Personnel Alert: Base Station User Manual Alarms (TBD) The following table describes the system alarms and shows how the display looks for each alarm.

FCC Part - 15.247(a) Pseudo Frequency Hopping Sequence The Xemics transceiver IC, KE1202 used on both the Personell Alert Base and Badge models complies with Section 15.247(a). The base transmits and listens for 4 timeslots on a maximal length sequence of 50 frequencies generated by the dipswitch selected, linear feedback shift register (Ifsr). The switch selects one of six Ifsr and is adjustable without having to reset the base. After 50 transmit/listen events the seed for the lfsr is incremented so that the next pass through the maximal length sequence will produce a new ordering of results. The Ifsr calculates one of six polynomials dependant on the dipswitch setting shown below:
Oana) eT x6+x54+]
010 ta\iel em. aa laa |
011 x64+x5+x44+x+]
100 inverse x6 +x5+x4+x4+1 101 x6+x54+x34+x24+1 110 inverse x6 + x5 +x3+x2+1 The lfsr result is a pointer in the frequency table of 50 frequencies with a spacing of 500 kHz and a range from 902.5 MHz to 927.0 MHz. The FSK frequency deviation is 100 kHz and the base band bandwidth is 200 kHz. The base transmits the 4 bytes and then becomes a receiver for four timeslots of 4 ms each. Badges on the current frequency respond randomly in one of the four timeslots. The badge transmits 2 data bytes and a 2-byte crc-ccitt. The badge data contains the acknowledge bit in bit 6 of the second data byte sent. Bit 7 is the msb of the 9-bit serial number. The remaining bits of second data byte contain the current badge frequency for verification at the base. The first data byte contains the low 8 bits of the 9 bit serial number. The base records the serial number and acknowledged state of any badge responding in the four timeslots. At the end of 50 transmit/listen events, the base reports to the host using the uP USART in synchronous mode. The first two bytes of reported data is the high and low byte of the number of badges counted in the last two passes of 50 frequencies. Two passes are included as badges sleep for an extra pass. The next byte is the dipswitch selected Ifsr 1 through 6. The fourth byte contains the lo, hi, system fail status of the relay contact inputs on the board logically ord with the force inputs from the host uP. The host uP receives force data from the modbus uP and controls the force inputs to the base. Bytes 5 to 805 are 400 high and low byte serial numbers collected in the last two passes. The data to host transfer takes approximately (805 bytes x 8 bits/byte) / 500 kbaud = 13 ms. which states a system employing short transmission bursts must comply with the definition of a frequency hopping system and must distribute its transmissions over the minimum number of hopping channels specified in this section. Section 15.247 (a)(1)(@) states For frequency hopping systems operating in the 902-928 MHz band: if the 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is less than 250 kHz, the system shall use at least 50 hopping frequencies and the average time of occupancy on any frequency shall not be greater than 0.4 seconds within a 20 second period. The maximum allowed 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 500 kHz.

FCC Part-15.247(h) Compliance with Incorporation of Intelligence The Personnel Alert does not incorporate any intelligence in order to recognize other users within the spectrum band so that it individually and independently chooses and adapts its hopsets to avoid hopping on occupied channels. Each base station in a system maintains a table listing the unique ID numbers of badges currently registered with it, and during alarm conditions will keep track of alarm acknowledgements from each actively registered badge. The algorithm for the base station would generally be only able to communicate with these badges.

Personnel Alert Product Description Summary The BW Personnel Alert (BWPA) is a low power wireless alarm notification system that transmits an alarm condition from one or more fixed base stations to personal, wearable badges within a hazardous area. The BWPA system utilizes the North American Industrial Scientific and Medical radio frequency band (ISM band: 902-928MHz). The system has a typical 100m-range and is rated for operation in temperatures from -20 C to +50 C. Alarm conditions raised by a separate gas detection or PLC control system are sent to the BWPA base station via a Modbus (digital) interface or simple relay contact inputs. The BWPA system can be deployed with one or more base stations to provide a larger contiguous or zoned RF coverage area, and a system can track up to 256 portable badges. Each base station in a system maintains a table listing the unique ID numbers of badges currently registered with it, and during alarm conditions will keep track of alarm acknowledgements (or NACKs) from each actively registered badge. The Base station has a backlit LCD display that displays the number of actively registered or local badges (badges within the bases communication range), up to 256, and the number of local badges in acknowledge mode, (up to 256) during an alarm condition. Technical Detail The Personnel Alert system uses the Xemics single chip transceiver operating in the North American 902-928MHz license-free ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency band, and is Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. (FHSS). The transceiver transmits and receives data using half-duplex, NRZ frequency shift keying (FSK) data coding. The communication protocol is proprietary. Channel spacing (frequency separation) is set at 500 kHz, and uses 50 channels in the frequency band. The data channels have a bandwidth of 200 KHz. The Base consists of two separate printed circuit boards:
Radio Interface The Interface PCB contains the LCD display and provides the I/O interface to the external controller or relays; the Radio PCB is the radio transceiver board. Two Microchip PIC18LF452 micro controllers are used on the Interface PCB in order to communicate between the MOSBUS and the Radio PCB. One micro controller is used on the Radio PCB to program the registers on and to control the data flow to and from the Xemics transceiver. The Badge hardware has two PCBs, the RF deck and data processing circuitry are on the main PCB and the battery is on the second and is connected to the main PCB via a 4 pin header. The Xemics radio operates in either of four states:
1. Receive 2. Transmitter 3. Standby 4. Sleep In transmit mode, non-return to zero (NRZ) data is presented to the radio at the chosen baud rate of 19200 baud. The uP uses a CCP module and timer to generate the correct baud rate. In receive mode the radio produces a logic-high at the pattern output pin if the configured reference pattern for the pattern recognition function is received. Alternating 0s and 1s precede the predetermined pattern. When the uP sees pattern output line go high, it samples the radio-
received data with the radios data clock output. The pattern and data clock are considered interrupt events at the uP. RF Signal The RF signal is 2 level NRZ FSK, Time Division Duplex (TDD) access, worst case duty cycle is 12%, binary information is being sent as 2 words at 19200 baud.

The relative humidity was between 20% and 75%. EUT SETUP The equipment under test (EUT) was set up in a manner that represented its normal use, as shown in the photographs in Appendix A. Any special conditions required for the EUT to operate normally are identified in the comments that accompany the emissions tables. The corrected data was then compared to the applicable emission limits to determine compliance. The cables were routed consistent with the typical application by varying the configuration of the test sample. Interface cables were connected to the available I/O ports of the test unit. The effect of varying the position of the cables was investigated to find the configuration that produced maximum emissions. I/O cables were of the type and length specified in the individual requirements. The length of cable that produced maximum emissions was selected. The radiated and conducted emissions data of the EUT was taken with the HP Spectrum Analyzer. Incorporating the applicable correction factors for distance, antenna, cable loss and amplifier gain, the data was reduced as shown in Table A. Preliminary and final measurements were taken in order to ensure that all emissions from the EUT were found and maximized. CORRECTION FACTORS The basic spectrum analyzer reading was converted using correction factors as shown in the highest emissions readings in the tables. For radiated emissions in dBV/m, the spectrum analyzer reading in dBV was corrected by using the following formula in Table A. This reading was then compared to the applicable specification limit to determine compliance.

For radiated measurements from 1 MHz to 30 MHz, the magnetic loop antenna was used. For radiated measurements from 30 to 1000 MHz, the biconilog antenna was used. The horn antenna was used for frequencies above 1000 MHz. Conducted emissions tests required the use of the FCC type LISNs. The HP spectrum analyzer was used for all measurements. Table B shows the analyzer bandwidth settings that were used in designated frequency bands. For conducted emissions, an appropriate reference level and a vertical scale size of 10 dB per division were used. A 10 dB external attenuator was also used during conducted tests, with internal offset correction in the analyzer. During radiated testing, the measurements were made with 0 dB of attenuation, a reference level of 97 dBV, and a vertical scale of 10 dB per division. SPECTRUM ANALYZER DETECTOR FUNCTIONS The notes that accompany the measurements contained in the Tables indicate the type of detector function used to obtain the given readings. Unless otherwise noted, all readings were made in the
"Peak" mode. Whenever a "Quasi-Peak" or "Average" reading is listed as one of the six highest readings, this is indicated as a "Q" or an "A" in the appropriate table. The following paragraphs describe in more detail the detector functions and when they were used to obtain the emissions data. Peak In this mode, the Spectrum Analyzer or test engineer recorded all emissions at their peak value as the frequency band selected was scanned. By combining this function with another feature of the analyzer called "peak hold," the analyzer had the ability to measure transients or low duty cycle transient emission peak levels. In this mode the analyzer made a slow scan across the frequency band selected and measured the peak emission value found at each frequency across the band. Quasi-Peak When the true peak values exceeded or were within 2 dB of the specification limit, quasi-peak measurements were taken using the HP Quasi-Peak Adapter for the HP Spectrum Analyzer. The detailed procedure for making quasi peak measurements contained in the HP Quasi-Peak Adapter manual were followed. Average For certain frequencies, average measurements may be made using the spectrum analyzer. To make these measurements, the test engineer reduces the video bandwidth on the analyzer until the modulation of the signal is filtered out. At this point the analyzer is set into the linear mode and the scan time is reduced. Page 24 of 58 Report No: FC05-035 EUT TESTING Antenna Conducted Emissions For measuring the signal strength on the RF output port of the EUT, the spectrum analyzer was connected directly to the EUT. The sweep time of the analyzer was adjusted so that the spectrum analyzer readings were always in a calibrated range. All readings within 20 dB of the limit were recorded. Radiated Emissions The EUT was mounted on a nonconductive, rotating table 80 cm above the conductive grid. The nonconductive table dimensions were 1 meter by 1.5 meters. During the preliminary radiated scan, the EUT was powered up and operating in its defined FCC test mode. For radiated measurements from 1 MHz to 30 MHz, the magnetic loop antenna was used. The frequency range of 30 MHz to 1000 MHz was scanned with the biconilog antenna located about 1.5 meter above the ground plane in the vertical polarity. During this scan, the turntable was rotated and all peaks at or near the limit were recorded. A scan of the FM band from 88 to 110 MHz was then made using a reduced resolution bandwidth and frequency span. The biconilog antenna was changed to the horizontal polarity and the above steps were repeated. For frequencies exceeding 1000 MHz, the horn antenna was used. Care was taken to ensure that no frequencies were missed within the FM and TV bands. An analysis was performed to determine if the signals that were at or near the limit were caused by an ambient transmission. If unable to determine by analysis, the equipment was powered down to make the final determination if the EUT was the source of the emission. A thorough scan of all frequencies was made manually using a small frequency span, rotating the turntable and raising and lowering the antenna from one to four meters as needed. The test engineer maximized the readings with respect to the table rotation, antenna height and configuration of EUT. Maximizing of the EUT was achieved by monitoring the spectrum analyzer on a closed circuit television monitor.

FCC 15.205 Restricted Bands The fundamental operating frequency lies outside the restricted bands and therefore complies with the requirements of Section 15.205 of the FCC rules. Any spurious emission coming from the EUT was investigated to determine if any portion lies inside the restricted band. If any portion of a spurious emissions signal was found to be within a restricted band, investigation was performed to ensure compliance with Section 15.209. Eut Operating Frequency The EUT was operating at 902-928 MHz. Page 6 of 58 Report No: FC05-035 EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST Personnel Alert Base Manuf:

The relative humidity was between 20% and 75%. EUT SETUP The equipment under test (EUT) was set up in a manner that represented its normal use, as shown in the photographs in Appendix A. Any special conditions required for the EUT to operate normally are identified in the comments that accompany the emissions tables. The corrected data was then compared to the applicable emission limits to determine compliance. The cables were routed consistent with the typical application by varying the configuration of the test sample. Interface cables were connected to the available I/O ports of the test unit. The effect of varying the position of the cables was investigated to find the configuration that produced maximum emissions. I/O cables were of the type and length specified in the individual requirements. The length of cable that produced maximum emissions was selected. The radiated and conducted emissions data of the EUT was taken with the HP Spectrum Analyzer. Incorporating the applicable correction factors for distance, antenna, cable loss and amplifier gain, the data was reduced as shown in Table A. Preliminary and final measurements were taken in order to ensure that all emissions from the EUT were found and maximized. CORRECTION FACTORS The basic spectrum analyzer reading was converted using correction factors as shown in the highest emissions readings in the tables. For radiated emissions in dBV/m, the spectrum analyzer reading in dBV was corrected by using the following formula in Table A. This reading was then compared to the applicable specification limit to determine compliance.

For radiated measurements from 1 MHz to 30 MHz, the magnetic loop antenna was used. For radiated measurements from 30 to 1000 MHz, the biconilog antenna was used. The horn antenna was used for frequencies above 1000 MHz. Conducted emissions tests required the use of the FCC type LISNs. The HP spectrum analyzer was used for all measurements. Table B shows the analyzer bandwidth settings that were used in designated frequency bands. For conducted emissions, an appropriate reference level and a vertical scale size of 10 dB per division were used. A 10 dB external attenuator was also used during conducted tests, with internal offset correction in the analyzer. During radiated testing, the measurements were made with 0 dB of attenuation, a reference level of 97 dBV, and a vertical scale of 10 dB per division. SPECTRUM ANALYZER DETECTOR FUNCTIONS The notes that accompany the measurements contained in the Tables indicate the type of detector function used to obtain the given readings. Unless otherwise noted, all readings were made in the
"Peak" mode. Whenever a "Quasi-Peak" or "Average" reading is listed as one of the six highest readings, this is indicated as a "Q" or an "A" in the appropriate table. The following paragraphs describe in more detail the detector functions and when they were used to obtain the emissions data. Peak In this mode, the Spectrum Analyzer or test engineer recorded all emissions at their peak value as the frequency band selected was scanned. By combining this function with another feature of the analyzer called "peak hold," the analyzer had the ability to measure transients or low duty cycle transient emission peak levels. In this mode the analyzer made a slow scan across the frequency band selected and measured the peak emission value found at each frequency across the band. Quasi-Peak When the true peak values exceeded or were within 2 dB of the specification limit, quasi-peak measurements were taken using the HP Quasi-Peak Adapter for the HP Spectrum Analyzer. The detailed procedure for making quasi peak measurements contained in the HP Quasi-Peak Adapter manual were followed. Average For certain frequencies, average measurements may be made using the spectrum analyzer. To make these measurements, the test engineer reduces the video bandwidth on the analyzer until the modulation of the signal is filtered out. At this point the analyzer is set into the linear mode and the scan time is reduced. Page 24 of 58 Report No: FC05-035 EUT TESTING Antenna Conducted Emissions For measuring the signal strength on the RF output port of the EUT, the spectrum analyzer was connected directly to the EUT. The sweep time of the analyzer was adjusted so that the spectrum analyzer readings were always in a calibrated range. All readings within 20 dB of the limit were recorded. Radiated Emissions The EUT was mounted on a nonconductive, rotating table 80 cm above the conductive grid. The nonconductive table dimensions were 1 meter by 1.5 meters. During the preliminary radiated scan, the EUT was powered up and operating in its defined FCC test mode. For radiated measurements from 1 MHz to 30 MHz, the magnetic loop antenna was used. The frequency range of 30 MHz to 1000 MHz was scanned with the biconilog antenna located about 1.5 meter above the ground plane in the vertical polarity. During this scan, the turntable was rotated and all peaks at or near the limit were recorded. A scan of the FM band from 88 to 110 MHz was then made using a reduced resolution bandwidth and frequency span. The biconilog antenna was changed to the horizontal polarity and the above steps were repeated. For frequencies exceeding 1000 MHz, the horn antenna was used. Care was taken to ensure that no frequencies were missed within the FM and TV bands. An analysis was performed to determine if the signals that were at or near the limit were caused by an ambient transmission. If unable to determine by analysis, the equipment was powered down to make the final determination if the EUT was the source of the emission. A thorough scan of all frequencies was made manually using a small frequency span, rotating the turntable and raising and lowering the antenna from one to four meters as needed. The test engineer maximized the readings with respect to the table rotation, antenna height and configuration of EUT. Maximizing of the EUT was achieved by monitoring the spectrum analyzer on a closed circuit television monitor.
