FCC ID: ITC-AP-4700V Alarmpath Echo Wireless Subscriber Unit

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES ALARMPATH ECHO AP-4700V WIRELESS SUBSCRIBER UNIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The AP-4700V draws a substantial amount of current - approximately 2 AMPS - during transmit. Therefore, follow the instructions for powering the AP-4700V carefully!

IMPORTANT! Failure to Read and Follow These Installation Instructions May Jeopardize Subscriber Security INTRODUCTION: The AP-4700V is a 2-way, fully supervised Wireless Subscriber Unit for use on the nationwide (50 United States plus Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands) AlarmPath Network. The AlarmPath Control Center Processors forward these wireless signals to ANY Central Station via standard communicator techniques. The AlarmPath Control Center Processors will generate and report a Communications Failure signal in the event that the network does not receive the expected supervisory test signal from the Wireless Subscriber Unit during the scheduled period. WARNING: To ensure users safety and to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, this unit must be installed so that a minimum separation distance of 32 cm is always maintained between the antenna of the transmitting device and nearby persons. Operation closer than this distance is not recommended. Use ONLY the following antenna supplied by AlarmPath to comply with this warning. Colinear Antenna, PN: HG3DB or Wave Rigid Whip Antenna, PN: G0DB, NOTE: FOR FIXED OPERATION ONLY NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Unintentional Radiator, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction Manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, 2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, 4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Since the mounting location can ONLY be selected based on RF performance, it is HIGHLY recommended that the installer follow the STEP 1 below BEFORE any wires are run. Generally, high locations are best. DO NOT mount radio in basement or below grade as unpredictable performance may result. Whenever possible, DO NOT mount the AP-4700V in non-climate controlled environments (i.e. attics may become extremely hot in summer, garages may become extremely cold in winter). Avoid mounting locations within 3 feet of large metal objects (air conditioners, metal garage doors, etc.), AC power lines, and fluorescent light fixtures. A fair amount of care may be required to mount the AP-4700V so as to achieve an optimal RF path. Installer should spend as much time as needed to obtain the highest signal level possible. Press the test button (S1), bottom right hand corner; the unit will transmit one long blink. After the unit transmits observe Coverage LED and count the number of blinks. Move the unit as required to achieve the best Coverage (signal strength) possible based on the chart below. As needed, re-

position the unit, transmit and watch the Coverage LED to indicate change. The unit will not transmit if 15 seconds has not passed. There is a 2 second delay between blink cycles. Once a location has been selected based on Coverage, permanently and securely mount the unit using #6 screws (not supplied) Phone 866-ALARMPATH The AP-4700V requires 12VDC. It draws less than 20mA during standby, and almost 2 AMPS during Transmit (for less than 1 second). It is recommended that the AP-4700V be powered directly from the battery

(4AH Minimum) of the alarm control panel, with a 3 AMP fuse in series. As the standby current is very low, the alarm control panel charging circuit will not be affected, and the battery is capable of supplying the 2 AMP current on transmit. DO NOT power theAP-4700V from the aux output of the control panel. 22-gauge wire can be used up to 50 feet in length, and 18-gauge wire can be used up to 100 feet in length.

Integrator's Guide Introduction:

A section explaining RF exposure requirements for integrating the RIM units into other products should be added to the Integrators Guide. A draft of this section is included here. Compliance Based on FCC rules(1) 2.1091 and 2.1093 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin 65 and its Supplement C(2), all integrations of the RIM OEM unit are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use. For portable devices, defined in accordance with FCC rules as a transmitting device designed to be used within 20 cm of the user body under normal operating conditions, RF evaluation must be based on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits in Watts/kg. SAR is a measurement of the rate of energy absorption per unit mass of body tissue. For mobile devices, defined as a transmitting device designed to be generally used such that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is maintained between the body of the user and the transmitting radiated structure, the human exposure to RF radiation can be evaluated in terms of Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for field strength or power density in mWatts/cm2. RIM will submit module specific information and test reports for a generic MPE compliance. For an end product not covered by RIM testing and submission, the integrator will submit for a separate FCC ID. The submission should include end product information, end product SAR/MPE test report and a reference to RIM module FCC ID for all other Part 90 requirements. Limits 1) SAR limits for General Population/Uncontrolled exposure is 1.6 W/kg for partial body exposure, averaged over 1 g of tissue and 4 W/kg for hands, wrists and feet averaged over 10 g of tissue. The limits for Occupational/Controlled exposure are more relaxed, i.e., 8 W/kg for partial body and 20 W/kg for hands, wrists and feet. The 1.6 W/kg limit applies for most of RIM OEM integrators. 2) The limit for MPE is 0.6 mW/cm2 at 900 MHz. Guidelines RF exposure distance is based on normal operating proximity to the users body. This distance is measured from the feed point of the antenna to the closest body part. A test need to be performed to determine the passing distance that meets the exposure limits.

Integrator's Guide Page 2(2) Minimum Separation Distance For mobile configurations the MPE requirements are met by the minimum passing distance of 28 cm for Larsen, 3 dB gain ground plane mounted antenna with minimum 6 feet cable length and for Austin, 0 dBd gain ground plane mounted antenna also with minimum 6 feet cable length, the required distance is 20 cm. For portable configurations the SAR requirements are met by the passing distance of 8 cm for The Antenna Company, Eclipse II Magnet Mount, 3 dB gain antenna scaled to zero cable length. Operating Manual Compliance Statement The integrator should include a statement in their operation/user/installation manual making the user aware of RF exposure issues and insuring that the users keep a passing distance from the antenna while transmitting. Also the integrator should provide instructions or diagrams in the manual for proper antenna mounting and position, when applicable, to ensure a safe exposure distance to the operator and nearby persons. Label If the final device configuration cannot be controlled so as to limit the user distance to the antenna then the device needs to have an RF radiation hazard label warning the user to keep away from the antenna by the specified distance. If the product passes the MPE limit at 20 cm then there is no need for a label on the final product. Installation Any vehicular equipment that integrates R901M and uses a Larsen or Austin antenna will be required to have the antennas installed at least 28 cm for Larsen and 20 cm for Austin from any edge of a vehicle rooftop. It is mandatory for the vehicular application integrators/distributors to add a warning in their user manual to instruct the installer to mount the antenna at the center of the vehicle rooftop. As well the instructions should tell the operator/user to maintain the minimum required distance of 20 cm for Austin and 28 cm for Larsen base mounted antennas at all times. For the Antenna Company, Eclipse II Magnet Mount antenna with 3 dB gain, all users are required to maintain the minimum separation distance of 8 cm from the antenna at all times. If the final device configuration cannot be controlled so as to limit the user distance to the antenna by more than 8 cm then the device or the antenna, requires to have an RF radiation hazard label. This way the users are warned to maintain the minimum 8 cm distance from the antenna. Copyright 1998, Research In Motion, Limited
