X-10 Building Labour Industrial District Shenzhen, Xixiang, Bao An Guang Dong, China, 518102 TEST SPECIFICATION: FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15, Subpart C, Para. 15.231 TEST PROCEDURE: ANSI C63.4:2000 TEST SAMPLE DESCRIPTION BRANDNAME: Black & Decker MODEL: FWIR TYPE: Pulsed Transmitter POWER REQUIREMENTS: 3 VDC derived from (1) 3 volt Lithium Battery, Model No. CR2032 FREQUENCY OF OPERATION: 418 MHz TESTS PERFORMED Para. 15.231(b), Radiated Emissions, Fundamental and Harmonics Para. 15.231(b), Radiated Emissions, Spurious Case Para. 15.35, Duty Cycle Determination Para. 15.231(c), Occupied Bandwidth Test Report No. R-9895-3 FCC ID: B4SFWIR REPORT OF MEASUREMENTS Applicant: X-10 (USA), Inc. Device: Pulsed Transmitter FCC ID: B4SFWIR Power Requirements: 3 VDC derived from (1) 3 volt Lithium Battery, Model No. CR2032 Applicable Rule Section: Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.231 TEST RESULTS 15.231 (a): This device is used as a remote control transmitter. 15.231 (a)(1) & The transmitter is manually operated and ceases transmission within 5 15.231(a)(2): seconds after deactivation. 15.231 (a)(3): The transmitter does not perform periodic transmissions. 15.231 (b): The fundamental field strength did not exceed 10,330 μV/M (Average) at a test distance of 3 meters. In addition, the requirements of section 15.35 for averaging pulsed emissions and for limiting peak emissions were met. The field strength of harmonic and spurious emissions did not exceed 1,033 μV/M (AVERAGE). DETERMINATION OF FIELD STRENGTH LIMITS The field strength limits shown below are found in Section 15.231. Frequency Limit F1 = 260 3750 = L1 Fo = 418 Lo F2 = 470 12500 = L2 Test Report No. R-9895-3 FCC ID: B4SFWIR REPORT OF MEASUREMENTS (continued) The formula below was utilized to determine the limits: Limit = L1 + [(Fo-F1)(L2-L1)/(F2-F1)] Solving yields: Fundamental Limit = 10,330 μV/M (AVERAGE) @ 3 Meters Harmonic Limit = 1,033 μV/M (AVERAGE) @ 3 Meters DUTY CYCLE DETERMINATION The unit’s RF output was directly coupled to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The analyzer was set for a frequency span of 0Hz. The sweep time was then adjusted in order to display one full pulse train. The transmitter on time was then summed and compared to the time for one full cycle in order to obtain the duty cycle. Transmitter On Time = 30.45 milliseconds (maximum) Transmitter Cycle Time = >100 milliseconds Transmitter Duty Cycle = 30.45 % See separate e-file plots named dutycycle.pdf for additional information. Test Report No. R-9895-3 FCC ID: B4SFWIR SPECTRUM ANALYZER DESENSITIZATION CONSIDERATIONS Due to the nature of the emissions being measured, care was taken to ensure that the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was adequate to provide accurate measurements. The following formula was utilized: Setting pulse desensitization equal to zero and utilizing the minimum observed pulse width of 550.0 μs yields a minimum required bandwidth of 1.212 kHz. FCC specified bandwidths of 100kHz and 1MHz were utilized below and above 1GHz, respectively. GENERAL NOTES All readings were taken utilizing a peak detector function at a test distance of 3 meters. The duty cycle was applied to the peak readings in order to determine the average value of the emissions. The frequency range was scanned from 30 MHz to 4.18 GHz. All emissions not reported were more than 20 dB below the specified limit.
