FCC ID: 2ALEPT0005946 FCC RF Exposure Evaluation 1 The Device is a mobile BLE Asset Tracker for IoT applications. BLE Tracker is suitable for commercial indoor application. BLE Tracker evaluated for RF radiation exposure according to the provisions of FCC §2.1091, MPE guidelines identified in FCC §1.1310 and FCC KDB 447498:2015. Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: 47 CFR 1.1310 Table 1 (B) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency range (MHz) Electric field strength (V/m) Magnetic field strength (A/m) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Averaging time (minutes) 0.3-1.34 614 1.63 *100 30 1.34-30 824/f 2.19/f *180/f 2 30 30-300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300-1,500 f/1500 30 1.500-100.000 1.0 30 Where f is in MHz The worst-case scenario is provided at 902 MHz. The maximum power density exposure is f/1500: S = 0.60133 mW/cm 2 , for uncontrolled exposure LoRa RF conducted power measurement and antenna gain as per ETC test reports t29e20a152- DTS_FCC and t29e20a152-DSS_FCC section 2.3.5 are reported below. The maximum duty cycle of the radio is stated in the Operation Description exhibit to be 33%. The worst-case value is in bold below TX Frequency (MHz) Conducted RF Output 100% Duty Cycle (dBm) Max. antenna gain (dBi) Conducted EIRP 100% duty Cycle(dBm) EIRP 100% Duty Cycle (mW) EIRP 33% Duty Cycle (mW) LoRa 500 KHz 903 15.27 2 17.27 53.3335 17.600055 907.8 15.18 2 17.18 52.2396 17.239068 914.2 15.20 2 17.20 52.4807 17.318631 LoRa 125 KHz 902.3 15.31 2 17.31 53.827 17.76291 908.5 15.17 2 17.17 52.1195 17.199435 914.9 15.38 2 17.38 54.7016 18.051528 FCC ID: 2ALEPT0005946 FCC RF Exposure Evaluation 2 Using worst case scenario, the highest measured EIRP or [P*G(numeric gain)] value for the LoRa transmitter was rounded up to 18.1 mW. Using the highest transmitted power at a distance of 20 cm in the equation below: S = EIRP / ( 4πR 2 ) Where: S, power density in ‘mW/cm 2 ’ (we use the value for the LoRa band of 0.60153 W/m 2 ) EIRP, Effective Isotropic Radiated Power in ‘mW’ R, distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna in ‘cm’ The RF exposure from the radio is less than the limit specified as shown below and meets the exemption criteria. S (mW/cm 2 ) = (18.1 mW) / (4 x π x 20²) S = 0.003601 mW/cm 2 <<< 0.60133 mW/cm 2 (max limit) The manufacturer manual specified a minimum safe distance of 20 cm.
