The FAP5010-001 Fixed Tracking Beacon design provides enhanced tracking for miners and equipment in high-traffic areas of a coal mine. The Fixed Tracking Beacon is one component of a communication and tracking system that includes the Innovative Wireless Technologies FAP4210-001 Fixed Mesh Node and FAP2210-

001 Gateway Node. 2. SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THE FIXED TRACKING BEACON. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by L-3 Communications Global Security & Engineering Solutions may void the users authority to operate this equipment. FCC ID: XG8-TB100001 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. When operated above ground, the Fixed Tracking Beacon must be installed with the following antenna connected to the 900 MHz RF output (ANTENNA PORT 1):

Modified Pulse MSU900FME 900MHz Antenna Assembly Modifications to the MSU900FME antenna must be per IWT instruction (IWT document no:

ASY-FAA9100-010, Rev. R2A). Modifications include replacing the OTS coaxial cable and FME connector with a MSHA approved flame resistant RG-58A/U cable with RP-TNC connector. IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Issuer: IWT, Inc. Revised: October 26, 2009 Approval: Timothy Dahl Doc. Num.: 6640-08-0056 Rev: C Page 4 of 10 The Fixed Tracking Beacon must be installed 20 cm or more from any personnel in order to comply with FCC exposure requirements. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These designed limits 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 instructions, 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 or more of the following measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Issuer: IWT, Inc. Revised: October 26, 2009 Approval: Timothy Dahl Doc. Num.: 6640-08-0056 Rev: C Page 5 of 10 3.

Antenna (900 MHz):

The Fixed Tracking Beacon can only use the following antenna model in applications that must meet FCC requirements:

Issuer: IWT, Inc. Revised: October 26, 2009 Approval: Timothy Dahl Doc. Num.: 6640-08-0056 Rev: C Page 7 of 10 Modified Pulse MSU900FME 900MHz Antenna Assembly Modifications to the MSU900FME antenna must be per IWT instruction (IWT document no:

Two C cell alkaline primary batteries power the Fixed Tracking Beacon. The batteries are located in the battery holder inside the enclosure. Battery maintenance and replacement details are in section 7. Magnetic Mounting Feet:

The Fixed Tracking Beacon includes three magnetic mounting feet for quick installation. The mounting feet screw into the base of the enclosure. 5. PRIOR TO INSTALLATION 5.1 Site Survey Conduct a survey to determine the appropriate sites to install the Fixed Tracking Beacon from an RF perspective. 5.2 Visually inspect each Fixed Tracking Beacon to ensure that:

The enclosure is free from damage or defects. Four screws properly secure the enclosure lid. Issuer: IWT, Inc. Revised: October 26, 2009 Approval: Timothy Dahl Doc. Num.: 6640-08-0056 Rev: C Page 8 of 10 6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 Installations Below Ground IMPORTANT NOTE:

TRAINED PERSONNEL MUST PROFESSIONALLY INSTALL THE FIXED TRACKING BEACON. At each of the sites determined by the survey described in 5.1:

6.1.1 Antenna Placement Determine the placement for the 900 MHz antenna to ensure proper RF propagation. For units installed in coal mines below ground, mount the antennas to roof bolts using the magnetic antenna mount. Select locations that ensure proper RF communication. Antenna location should not present a safety hazard or opportunity for damaged to occur. 6.1.2 Applying Power to the Fixed Tracking Beacon Remove the enclosure lid of the Fixed Tracking Beacon. Insert two C cell batteries into the battery holder. The LED should begin to blink, indicating that the Fixed Tracking Beacon is transmitting. Replace the enclosure lid ensuring that the LED lines up with the LED lens located on the lid. Secure the lid with all four screws. LED Issuer: IWT, Inc.

(SHOWN WITHOUT BATTERIES) 6.1.3 Fixed Tracking Beacon Enclosure Placement Locate a place to mount the Fixed Tacking Beacon enclosure. Use the enclosures magnetic mounting feet to mount the Beacon to a roof bolt (or other acceptable location). 6.1.4 Fixed Tracking Beacon Antenna Connection Connect the antenna cable to ANTENNA PORT 1 of the Fixed Tracking Beacon. 6.2 Installations Above Ground At each of the sites determined by the survey described in 5.1:

6.2.1 Fixed Tracking Beacon Installation Instructions Follow installation instructions of 6.1. Equipment above ground should be located so as not to present a safety hazard or cause damage. Secure all equipment using the proper hardware. 6.2.2 Follow all FCC guidelines listed in Section 2.0. 7. OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS The Fixed Tracking Beacon does not have any direct user interface. Monitor the status of the Fixed Tracking Beacon by observing the LED mounted on the outside of the enclosure (LED1):

Num.: 6640-08-0056 Rev: C Page 10 of 10 The Fixed Tracking Beacon requires little routine maintenance. Inspect each box periodically every 3-6 months to ensure that the box remains free of defects. It is important that the box remains dust tight. Replace defective boxes immediately. Do not continue to use any boxes that may have had their dust seal compromised. Replace the C cell batteries inside the Fixed Tracking Beacon enclosure once each year. To replace the batteries:

1. Remove enclosure lid by unscrewing the four lid screws. 2. Remove the two C cell batteries from the battery holder. 3. Insert two fresh C cell batteries into the battery holder noting proper polarity. 4. Ensure that LED is blinking after replacing batteries. 5. Line up the LED with the LED lens located in the lid of the enclosure. 6. Replace enclosure lid and secure all four lid screws. To prevent dust and moisture from entering the Fixed Tracking Beacon enclosure during battery replacement, replace the batteries in a location above ground and free from excessive moisture and coal dust.
