Bella Ag Technical Specifications and Install Guide for 3.0 System © 2012 Bella Ag LLC, All Rights Reserved Gateway Software System Components Collector Bolus Coordinator Specifications Coordinator Physical Dimensions Coordinator comes supplied with a Waterproof Modular Cat5 connector used to terminate the network cable at the coordinator location, and an approved DC Power Supply. Network cable is not included with the coordinator. The coordinator is intended to be wall mounted in a vertical orientation, preferably with direct line-of-sight to the colllector locations. Included Cat5 Connector and DC Power Supply Cat5 Cable NOT Included Collector Specifications Collector Housing Physical Dimensions Collectors come supplied with an approved DC power supply and omni-directional antenna. The Collector is intended to be mounted in a vertical orientation facing toward the coordinator or dongle gateway location. Included Power Supply and Omnidirectional Antenna Collector Layout and Description Collectors come in two different versions based on which frequency they operate in, 900MHz for North America, and 800MHz for Europe and the UK. The frequency your collector uses can easily be identified by the “Model Designation” located below the Serial Number on the front of the collector. Models marked as “3.9” indicate a 900MHz system, while models marked “3.8” indicate an 800MHz system. Always verify that the model designation number matches the frequency approved for your geographic region. Coordinator and Collector Components Coordinator and Collector Enclosure Key Features · Designed for harsh industrial environments or outdoor applications (security, outdoor wireless, controls etc. etc.) · Designed for wall mounting - interior is secure as lid screws are behind the lid. Can be made more secure if wall mounted with security screws (tamper resistant screws). · Polycarbonate (material carries a UL flammability rating of UL94 V0 @ 3mm) - Recommended for outdoor use. · Color is a light gray (RAL 7035) to help keep heat absorption down. · Gasketed lid with two piece "tongue & groove" construction provides protection against ingress of oil, dust and water. · Gasket is one piece using high temperature U.L. listed - silicone rubber gasket material. · Designed to meet IP 67 & NEMA 4, 4X, 12 & 13 ratings. · UL 508 listed (File # E65324). · Flanged lid is secured with self captivating - M4 stainless steel machine screws (included), threaded into integral stainless steel bushings (for repetitive assembly & disassembly). All stainless steel hardware to avoid corrosion caused by dissimilar metals. · Flanged lid screws are self captivating. Coordinator and Collector Components Coordinator to Collector Wireless Communication Specifications The embedded wireless communication radios* have a watchdog feature that will force them to reestablish the link between the coordinator and collector in the event that the power fails and returns, eliminating the need to manually reset either device. * Wireless communication component contains FCC ID: MCQ-PROS2B IC: 1846A PRO-S2B Coordinator and Collector Power Supply Specifications These power supplies are included in North American orders only. For systems installed outside of North America contact a Bella Ag representative for help in obtaining a suitable power supply.

By mounting the collector in the holding area, every animal in the milking herd can be accessed on a regular basis as the animals enter the parlor to milk. If more frequent downloads are desired, or if information from animals not in the milking herd is needed, additional collectors can be mounted in areas where the animals are housed. Ideal placement can be challenging in the dairy environment but following these simple guidelines will result in satisfactory performance overall: · Collectors should be mounted over 8ft. (2.5 meters) from the ground but not higher than 12ft. (4 meters) from the ground, ideal mounting height should be near 10ft. (3 meters) from the ground · Collectors should be located directly over the area that the animals travel through and near the center of a holding area or travel lane · The omni-directional antenna should be mounted vertically, or perpendicular to the ground, and is adjustable allowing you to configure it so that it is pointing either directly up or down above the area the animals will move through · The omni-directional antenna cannot be mounted against any metal surface and should be kept at least 6 inches away from any metal as well as any electrical wiring · The Collector will require an appropriate 110V AC outlet nearby to provide power. Systems outside of North America will normally be sent with an appropriate power supply for the region · When mounting the collector in a Tie Stall environment, the collector should be located in the middle of the barn to allow communication to boluses on either side · Tie stall barns typically have lower ceilings and the collector should be mounted flush to the ceiling and the antenna should be turned 90 degrees and point straight down Collector Mounting Examples In the ex…

Bella Ag LLC Request for Confidentiality Date: January 1, 2014 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: FCC ID: 2ABRS-BELLA308 IC ID: l 1755A-BELLA30B Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457( d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit 0 Short Term ~Permanent Block Diagrams ~Short Term External Photos ~Short Term 0 Permanent* 1 Internal Photos 0 Short Term ~Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation 0 Short Term 0 Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM D Short Term D Permanent Tune-Up Procedure D Short Term ~Permanent Schematics ~Short Term Test Setup Photos ~Short Term 0 Permanent* User's Manual Bella Ag LLC has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. 1 - The asterisked items(*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be : "The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting." 27906 CR 388 • Kersey, CO. • Phone: 877-224-2790 • [email protected] Bella Ag LLC Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public.

1 Rich Fabina From: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Response to Inquiry to FCC (Tracking Number 807749) Link to Federal Communications Commission Home Page FCC Home | Search | RSS | Updates | E-Filing | Initiatives | Consumers | Find People Office of Engineering and Technology Office of Engineering and Technology Inquiry on 10/16/2014 : Inquiry: Gentlemen: ACB is reviewing an application for a Bolus transmitter. A Bolus transmitter takes the internal temperature of a cow to determine when it is ready to breed. The transmitter is placed inside the second stomach of a cow. The identification of the device is FCCID: 2ABRS-BELLA30B and IC: 11755A-BELLA30B, model BELLA30B. Because the transmitter is not visible during operation, the applicant would like permission to place the FCC ID label and other warning statements into the user manual, in the packing list and on the packaging material of the Bolus transmitter. To help you reach your decision, I’ve provided external photos of the device, the user manual and the 3 proposed labels for the Bolus transmitter. The Bolus transmitter is used with a Collector transmitter which was approved under FCC ID: 2ABRS-BELLAC and IC: 11755A-BELLA30C so this transmitter is mentioned in the user manual since they form a system and are used together. Thanks for your time, 2 Rich Fabina Reviewing Engineer ACB Phone: 703-635-2881 Email: [email protected] FCC response on 10/28/2014 Yes this is acceptable.
