By following these instructions, the VSC100 will function properly over its lifetime. If these instructions are not followed, the VSC100 may malfunction and/or have a limited lifetime. 2 Precautions All installation, adjustment, or removal of the VSC100 should be undertaken by trained personnel who are trained in safety regulations for the system. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and carries the FCC ID is 2ABLP- VSC100. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any unauthorized changes or modifications to the VSC100 could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment in the system. 3 Product Description The VSC100 includes an environmentally protective metal housing and plastic cover with wire harness as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 – VSC100 - 5 - The VSC works using the Doppler principal. The sensor is pointed toward a road surface and transmits energy, some of which is scattered back to the VSC and received. If there is motion of the VSC with respect to the scatterers on the road surface, the received frequency will be offset from the transmitted frequency directly proportional to the velocity of the relative motion. As shown in Figure 2, the received frequency for motion "away" from the scatterers causes a decrease in frequency, while motion "toward" the scatterers causes an increase in frequency. The VSC100 measurement of frequency also depends on the installation angle with respect to the horizon, so care must be taken to ensure proper installation.

It is oriented so that the plastic cover is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to horizontal with the cable harness tied so that it does not obstruct the path from the VSC100 to the ground, as shown below in Figure 3. - 6 - Figure 3 – VSC100 Mounting 5 Connector The VSC100 connector is shown below in Figure 4. Figure 4 – VSC100 Connector When used in a system, the VSC100 is connected to a 12 volt power system, an indicator light, and two electromechanical latches. The wiring diagram is shown below in Figure 5. - 7 - Figure 5 – Wiring Harness

There is however a portion of the PCB showing in the external photos but this appears to be insufficient, DW – Requested internal photos from Nathan on 5/2/14 2. The test report should reference compliance to 15.203 by way of an integral antenna. CT –15.203 has been added to the test report. The antenna is internal. 3. The test report should reference compliance to 15.214(c), the 20dB bandwidth. CT –15.215(c) has been referenced within the test summary on page 6 of the Test Report. The plots associated with 15.249 show compliance with 15.215(c) 4. The test report shows two plots at of emissions at the band edge. Please identify if these two plots are intended to meet the requirements below 15.247(d) Emissions radiated outside of the specified frequency bands, except for harmonics, shall be attenuated by at least 50 dB below the level of the fundamental or to the general radiated emission limits in §15.209, whichever is the lesser attenuation CT – The plots have been further detailed as 15.249(d) within the Test Report.

Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator the responsible part may employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without an additional charge. Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment. p13b0005_FCC_Part 15.249_Rev 2.0 Page 6 of 14 Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing. In accordance with ANSI C63.10-2009 and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F) unless the particular equipment requirements specify testing over a different temperature range.
