1 TYPE OF EXHIBIT:RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART:1.1310 IC PART:RSS-102 MANUFACTURER:RITRON, Inc. MODEL:DTXM-454-0BX6 TYPE OF UNIT:UHF Modem Transceiver FCC ID:AIERIT25-450 IC ID:1084A-25450 DATE:December 15, 2006 PROCEDURE: Because this product is used as a mobile device, an RF evaluation was done. The RF evaluation entailed testing the unit on RITRON’S 3-meter range to determine EIRP and then calculating the minimum safe distance from the antenna necessary to ensure compliance with the appropriate RF exposure limits. 1. The measurement for effective radiated power was taken at the RITRON, Inc. 3-meter test site, details of which are on file with the FCC and Industry Canada. 2. The DUT was aligned for transmitter operation on lower, middle and upper band edge frequenices at the 6 watt maximum output power rating of the DTXM-454-0BX6 per the tune-up procedure outlined in the Maintenance Manual. The unit was then terminated at the antenna port in a quarterwave magnetic mount antenna which is typical of what might be used with this product. (The user may connect other antennas, however.) 3. All field strength measurements were made with the Hewlett-Packard Model 8560E Spectrum Analyzer and an Electro-Metrics EM-6924 adjustable dipole antenna tuned to the carrier frequency. 2 TYPE OF EXHIBIT:RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART:1.1310 IC PART:RSS-102 MANUFACTURER:RITRON, Inc. MODEL:DTXM-454-0BX6 TYPE OF UNIT:UHF Modem Transceiver FCC ID:AIERIT25-450 IC ID:1084A-25450 DATE:December 15, 2006 PROCEDURE (Continued): 4. The quarterwave antenna was connected to the DUT via its cable and tested above a 0.5m x 0.5 m ground plane. The height of the field strength measurement antenna and the azimuth orientation of the antenna were varied to provide maximum field strength. The maximum levels were noted. 5. A substitution antenna, an Electro-Metrics EM-6924 adjustable dipole, was substituted for the quarterwave antenna at the DTXM-454-0BX6’s previous location. An RF signal generator was set for the frequency of the DUT with the level at the substitution antenna noted. 6. The height of the receiving antenna was adjusted for maximum signal strength. The level at the receiving antenna was noted. 3 TYPE OF EXHIBIT:RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART:1.1310 IC PART:RSS-102 MANUFACTURER:RITRON, Inc. MODEL:DTXM-454-0BX6 TYPE OF UNIT:UHF Modem Transceiver FCC ID:AIERIT25-450 IC ID:1084A-25450 DATE:December 15, 2006 EQUATIONS FOR EIRP: The substitution antenna is specified from the manufacturer in terms of antenna factor rather than antenna gain. The conversion is: Ga(dbd) = 20 log f (MHz) – AF(dB) – 31.9 The effective radiated power (ERP) is then: ERP(dBm) = Pr(dBm) + Pgen(dBm) – Ps(dBm) – Ga(dBd) Where: Pr is the power level of the radio’s emission at the receiving antenna output. Pgen is the RF signal generator level at the substitution antenna input. Ps is the power level of the substitution antenna emission at the receiving antenna output. Ga is the gain of the substitution antenna. The ERP is converted to watts from dBm by: ERP(watts) = antilog 10 ((ERP(dBm) – 30)/10) And finally, ERP is converted to EIRP (isotropic radiator) by: EIRP = 1.64 ERP 4 TYPE OF EXHIBIT:RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART:1.1310 IC PART:RSS-102 MANUFACTURER:RITRON, Inc.

Rearranging for distance: _________ r = √(EIRP/4πS) The MPE (maximum permissible exposure) for a device operating in a General Population/Uncontrolled exposure environment is f(MHz)/1500 mW/cm 2 . Converting to W/m 2 , the limit becomes f(MHz)/150 W/m 2 . The MPE limit is substituted for S and EIRP is entered in the above equation. 5 TYPE OF EXHIBIT:RF EXPOSURE EVALUATION FCC PART:1.1310 IC PART:RSS-102 MANUFACTURER:RITRON, Inc.
