Operational Description

EXHIBIT 1-1 CFS8DL6160RF 6160RF FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The 6150RF unit is a combination unit that contains all the functions of an alphanumeric keypad and a transceiver on one board. It incorporates the same functionality of a 6160 keypad; therefore it may be used on any Ademco control panel that supports this type of keypad. It supports wireless key transmitters in encrypted and non-encrypted modes. It also supports wireless keypads, such as 5827 and 5828V.

Operational Description

EXHIBIT 2-1 CFS8DL6160RF RF CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The 6160RF wireless keypad contains several functions, such as keypad, panel interface, and LCD display, please refer to the Block Diagram ( EXHIBIT 2-3 ), and page 7 (RF CKT Page) of the Schematic ( EXHIBIT 2-2 ). Please note that some blocks contain reference to "868 Mhz" These parts are not used on domestically sold units. The RF section operates at 345 Mhz, and functions as follows: The received RF signal enters the receiver through ANT1 & ANT2, of the switched diversity antenna system. The antennas are switched by SW2 under the control of the RF MICRO U16 , SAW FILTER FL3 improves the selectivity of the receiver, while LNA U74 improves the sensitivity. All other receive functions are handled by the SINGLE CHIP RECEIVER U19, including the phase locked L.O., who's FDE is Y3. The RX Data is fed directly into the RF MICRO for processing. The transmitted RF signal is generated by a single phase locked chip U12 who's FDE is Y2. U12 is also amplitude modulated by the RF MICRO. CR19 etc., provides power level adjustment, and U13 acts as the PA. SW3 is the T/R SWITCH, sending the transmitted signal through FL3 for improved emissions, and then on to the diversity antenna system.

Test Report

EXHIBIT 5-1 CFS8DL6160RF Report of Measurements. Measurements were made at Ademco 's Measurement Facility at 160 Eileen Way , Syosset , NY 11791 , FCC Registration number : 90421. Measurements were made in accordance with the procedures and reporting requirements of ANSI C63.4-1992. The Test Set-Up (C63.4 section 10.1.3) is shown in the attached drawing. The sequence of testing (C63.4 section 10.1.7) for radiated emissions is as follows: A preliminary scan was conducted with the receiver antenna close to the EUT in order to identify the emission characteristics of the EUT (C63.4 section 8.3.1.1). The antenna and EUT were then placed at the proper separation with the EUT positioned on a non-conducting turntable. The EUT was rotated on the turntable to maximize the received signal strength, then the receiver antenna height was varied to further maximize the received reading. Thereafter, the device was again rotated to a peak output position and the antenna height was re-adjusted for maximum received signal. This procedure was re-iterated until there was no further increase in signal level. This procedure was performed with the EUT rotating in three orthogonal planes (C63.4 section 13.1.4.1) to generate a final maximum reading which is recorded on the radiated emissions result sheet. Similar measurements were made on the receiver to ensure compliance as an unintentional radiator. See Exhibit 6 for list of test equipment (C63.4 section 10.1.4). Note, Spectrum Analyzer resolution bandwidths set as follows; (Video Bandwidth set greater than RBW) - For occupied bandwidth measurements, RBW = 100kHz, (This is in accordance with the minimum RBW allowed by C63.4, which requires RBW greater than 5% of the FCC required occupied bandwidth spec of 0.25% of center frequency). - For radiated emissions below 1 GHz, the RBW = 100kHz. Detector function set to peak. - For radiated emissions above 1 GHz, the RBW = 1MHz. Detector function set to peak. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH is shown on attached plot. RADIATED EMISSIONS are recorded on attached sheet.
