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 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:
a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. c) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. FCC Warning Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to operate the equipment under FCC Rules.

The SA Tag is used to track assets in real time. It is based on an RF transceiver and a microcontroller. It uses the Precyse N3 proprietary protocol which provides a 2 way, half duplex communication with the base station. The unit is powered by a 3 AA battery. Technical Parameters Models:
E3-HuTag-AGPS Part number: SA91/004005 Performance:
Read range: up to 1km. (Within line of sight) Write range: up to 1km. (Within line of sight) Read rate: 250Kbps. Write rate: 250Kbps. Communication:
Frequency: 905-917.14MHz ISM within license free band Modulation: 2-FSK Channel bandwidth: 800KHz Number of channels: 16 ERP: Up to 17dBm, digitally controlled Communication protocol: N3. Transmission: Event base and on demand External interfaces:
1. 6 user buttons: 1-screen light, 2-find immediate location, 3-distress, 4-respond, 5-cancell message, 6-not used. The buttons are not used to increase transmission power in any way. 2. Buzzer 3. GPS receiver. Internal sensors: Motion, temperature sensors. Electrical:
Power supply: 3.6Vdc. Date: 21 March 2013 Page 6 of 9 Precyse Technologies, Ltd.. P.W.Precyse WirelessLtd. Rosh Haayin 48092 Tel: +972 (0)3 9227093 Fax: +972 (0)3 9227515 Environmental:
Size: 57mm (L) x 17mm (W) x 105mm (H) Operating temperature: -20C to +75C Humidity: 90% non-condensing Weight: 145gr. (5 ounces) System test configuration SAT The unit tested was configured with all hardware options present. Since the unit, under its normal operation, does not transmit data periodically, for emissions measurements, the SAT was programmed with special test software to transmit packets continuously at 17dBm output power, duty cycle (67.7%) with power amplifier enabled for FCC test requirement only. Normal operation duty cycle, assuming worst case, one event per second is less than 0.5% (5mSec transmit time per 1 second). Tag wearing Badge Tag V2 should be worn on the waist belt with crocodile clip as shown in picture below. Date: 21 March 2013 Page 7 of 9 Precyse Technologies, Ltd.. Theory of operation P.W.Precyse WirelessLtd. Rosh Haayin 48092 Tel: +972 (0)3 9227093 Fax: +972 (0)3 9227515 The SAT method of communication is synchronized event based reporting, the SAT spends most of its time in low power sleep mode. Event could be GPS location, motion start and stop, PBC found and which one. When an event happens, the SAT sends a report to the base station. In order to avoid packet collisions and associated detection methods, the system uses a synchronous protocol, that is, An SAT can transmit data only after receiving a synchronization signal from the base station. iLocate system block diagram Date: 21 March 2013 Page 8 of 9 Precyse Technologies, Ltd..
