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:  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. Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Page 5 of 7 Rev B 1.2 – Purpose This system was designed to provide a wireless link from the Hand Control to the Remote Hook using an encoded Radio Frequency Transmitter and Receiver. The use of this system will allow the use of a long line of any length or capacity to be used with a remote hook without the need to provide an electrical wire and protective wire cover on the long line. This removes many of the problems associated with using the hook system in areas covered with vegetation or obstacles that might snag the wire or tear the cover. 1.3 – Product Features The system consists of the following:  Hand control which allows the crewmember to operate the system from anyplace within the cabin of the Helicopter.  Transmitter that is directly connected to the Hand Control. The Transmitter sends an encoded signal which is encoded to a type one level preventing any inadvertent operation from signals close enough to be detected.  Receiver that is mounted on the Hook body powered by a battery that also powers the solenoid.  Wireless connection from the Helicopter to the receiver which removes the need for electrical cable from the Helicopter to the long line.  The system can be used with any length long line up to 200 ft. (Depth perception becomes questionable past 200 ft.) 1.4 – Pre-Flight or Daily Testing The System should be tested prior to the first flight of the work day. Step 1 – Electrical Connection to the Aircraft The Hand Control needs to be connected to the aircraft. Turn the Aircraft battery to the on position. Ensure that the Hand Control is connected to the Transmitter and that the connection is good. Step 2 – Turn on Power on Receiver Turn the power on at the receiver. To ensure extended battery life, the receiver should be turned to the Off position after each days flights have been completed. Therefore, to begin the test, the receiver must be turned to the ON position. Page 6 of 7 Rev B Step 3 – Test Apply a slight load to the load beam of the Hook (this may be done by hand). Signal the crewmember to press the correct button on the Hand Control. The solenoid should operate and the load beam of the Hook should be released. Close the Load Beam and check to see it is engaged. Complete this process a minimum of three times. If all are successful, the system is ready for use. 1.5 – In-Flight Use The system should ope…

Regards, Kyle Fujimoto Test Engineer -- Compatible Electronics, Inc. -- Brea Division Phone:(714) 579-0500 Fax: (714) 579-1850 [email protected] http://www.celectronics.com -----Original Message----- From: Generic Office of Engineering Technology <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 10:00:24 -0500 (EST) Subject: Response to Inquiry to FCC (Tracking Number 379492) Inquiry: Hello, I have a question regarding the duty cycle plots and calculation for a pulsed modulation transmitter that is going to be certified. The device that is going to be certified will be using an encoder that uses an algorithm to change the code of each packet during transmission, not just after each button press. This is done for security purposes to prevent code capture, similar to other code hopping encoders already on the market. Because of this, it makes it essentially impossible to acquire the code and provide the duty cycle plots that are typically required for certification of a device like this since the code changes with every transmitted packet. The manufacturer of the encoder states that the duty cycle may change slightly, but will never be higher than a certain percentage. In such a case, would it be permitted for the Grantee to provide a written explanation, from the manufacturer of the encoder, of what the highest possible duty cycle is instead of showing the plots and then use this explanation when we calculate the average field strength and submit for certification? Thank you for your help. Response: You should obtain an explanation and measurement data from the manufacturer showing the highest possible duty cycle and submit with your application for Certification. Do not reply to this message. Please select the Reply to an Inquiry Response link from the OET Inquiry System to add any additional information pertaining to this inquiry. 4/10/2007

HS Series Encoder Data Structure Power Up Is the SEND Line High? Send Message YES NO The HS Series encoder is designed to securely register button pr esses or switch closures over a wireless link for remote contro l applications. It will turn eight parallel input lines into an encrypted serial bit stream output. The encoder will send messages for as long as the SEND line is high. Each message consists of two packets separated by a 3.8mS gap. Each packet has a start sequence that consists of a wake period, noise filter, and prea mble byte. The preamble byte has 10 bits, a start bit, 3-bit err or check, inversion flag bit, four-bit User ID, and a stop bit. The data portion is encrypted, so will be diffe rent within each message, and from message to message. The HS Series algorithm calculates the Hamming weight of the enc rypted data portion of each packe t before it is sent. If it is greater than 50%, then the packet is logically inverted. This guarantees that the duty cycle of the encrypted data will ne ver be greater than 50%. The preamble is d esigned to be less than 50% worst- case, so adding these together gives a worst- case message duty cycle of just under 50%. Total Message Time at 4,800bps = 57.1mS Worst Case Duty Cycle at 4,800bps = 48.6% Total Message Time at 28,800bps = 25.5mS Worst Case Duty Cycle at 28,800bps = 43% 3.8mS 3.4mS 3.3mS 1400uS 0 1100 or 0 1101 80 bits 1010 Processing Time Wake Noise Filter Error Check Encrypted Data XXXX 1User ID 3.8mS 1400uS 0 1100 or 0 1101 80 bits 1010 Processing Time Wake Noise Filter Error Check XXXX 1 User ID Encrypted Data
