1.0INTRODUCTION 05-6334A01, Rev. AMDS SF9 Integration Guide1 MDS TransNET-SF9 Publication No. 05-6334A01, Rev. 01 The MDS TransNET-SF9 (Figure 1), is a modular spread spectrum transceiver designed for use in the license-free 902-928 MHz band. The unit is designed for use inside data equipment to provide reliable connectivity in wireless networks. The SF9 employs a closed-loop power control circuit, ensuring that th e RF output never exceeds +30 dBm at the antenna connector. The module is designed for OEM use only. Host systems, if used with antennas having standard connectors, must be professionally installed. Host systems using integrated antennas or unique antenna connectors must be factory configured by the OEM to operate at the correct output power setting. Refer to the table at the end of this guide to determine applicable antenna types and the RF output power allowed. Electronic copies of this document and othe r GE MDS user guides are available free of charge at www.gemds.com. 1.1Transceiver Features The SF-9 maximizes performance and flexibility in wireless networks, offering the following key features: • 128 frequencies over 902–928 MHz, divided into 8 zones • User-selectable option to skip sub-bands with interference • 65,000 available network addresses • Network-wide configuration from the Master station, elimi- nating most trips to Remote sites • Data transparency ensures compatibility with virtually all asynchronous SCADA system terminals. • Peak-hold RSSI averaged over eight hop cycles • Operation at up to 115,200 bps continuous data flow • Store-and-Forward repeater operation • Data latency typically less than 10 ms • Same hardware for Master or Remote configuration • Supports RS/EIA-232 and RS/EIA-485 user interface • Low current draw; typically less than 8 mA in sleep mode • Operates at 3.3 Vdc at the power connector Figure 1. SF9 Transceiver Module (J3 Data/Power and J200 Antenna Connectors on other side) NOTE:Some features may not be available on all units, based on the options purchased, or regulatory constraints in the country of operation. 1.2Accessories GE MDS offers an Accessories Selection Guide listing additional items that may be used with our products. Contact your factory representative or visit www.gemds.com for the latest copy. 2.0INSTALLATION The transceiver is designed for installation in existing electronic equipment. It mounts to any flat surface using screws through the four holes provided in the corners of the PC board. Only two cable connections required to the radio; J3, the Powe r/Data connector, and J200, the Antenna connector. It is recommended that the module be installed in a manner that permits viewing the four status LEDs (CR3, 4, 5, and 6) during operation. These LEDs provide important information that is useful during startup and optimization of the radio link. Antennas used with the radio can be either a Yagi directional type (ofte n used at remote sites) or an omni-directional type used for short range applications or at Master stations. Contact your sales representative for information on available antennas. Follow these steps to install the transceiver module: 1. Select a suitable mounting location for the module. This sho uld be a flat surface close enough to the power/data and antenna cabling so that these will reach their respective connectors. 2. Secure the module to the surface using suitable screws throu gh the mounting holes in each corner of the radio’s PC board. Use spacers as necessary to achieve required height. (Mounting hardware is not supplied.) 3. Select and install an appropriate antenna and feedline for your system coverage requirement s. 4. Connect the antenna coaxial lead to J200 on the module. It a ccepts a Type-UMC female coaxial connector. 5. Prepare the power/data cabling for connection to J3 on the mod ule. It accepts a Molex SlimStack TM 20 pin receptacle. Use only the required data pins for the application (see Table 1 for pin information). The input power applied to J3 must be 3.3 Vdc (-0/+0 .2 V). Connect the plug to J3.

GS MDS SF9 Limited Modular Approval Requirements Limited Modular Approval is being requested for this device and the device will be installed only in host systems manufactured by GE MDS professional installers. Limited Modular Approval is being requested for this device. There are requirements that the device must meet for Limited modular approval. The following paragraphs detail those requirements and explains, where applicable, how the module meets those requirements. Where requirements are not met a justification for a limited modular approval is presented. The module meets all of the technical specifications applicable to the frequency band of operation. 1. The module has its own RF shielding (RSS GEN 3.2.2a). The radio module is fully shielded both top and bottom of the PCB 2. All modulation and data input(s) are buffered (RSS GEN 3.2.2b). All Data modulation is buffered via U102 a DSP (DSP56F807) 3. The module has its own power supply regulation (RSS GEN 3.2.2c).and local reference oscillator. This module does not contain on board regulation, the OEM integrator will supply, 3.3vdc to the radio module. OEM Integrators must regulate the DC voltage applied to the SF9 module at +3.3 Vdc, with a tolerance of -.0/+.2 Vdc. This can be achieved using a voltage regulator similar to the Texas Instruments PTH0407W, which is a precision DC regulator. This was the regulator used for all certification testing. The reference oscillator is on the PCB, Y1 a 16MHz TXCO, a 10.7 MHz discriminator in U201 and a onboard VCO based on Q301 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The certification submission contains a detailed description of the configuration of all antennas that will be used with the module. (RSS GEN 3.2.2d).

Subject: Limited Modular approval request, & Professional Installation Applicant: GE MDS LLC. Product: MDS SF9 FCC ID: E5MDS-SF9 Professional Installation The Transnet‐SF9 radio must be professionally (OEM) installed and thus is exempt from the antenna restrictions of FCC Part 15.203. OEM Integrators must regulate the DC voltage applied to the SF9 module at +3.3 Vdc, with a tolerance of ‐.0/+.2 Vdc. This can be achieved using a voltage regulator similar to the Texas Instruments PTH0407W, which is a precision DC regulator.” The Transnet‐SF9 is not designed for use by the general public, and will be sold through the GE MDS sales force to OEM systems integrators. These companies will either use their professional telecommunications engineering staff to carry out the installation or will subcontract to professional installation firms. Due to the unique technical expertise required in installing and setting up the system, the product is not suitable for distribution to retail channels. In spite of this, GE MDS will warn integrators against selling to retail channels in compliance to FCC regulations. The Transnet‐SF9 radio will be OEM integrated into systems used for fixed, permanent or temporary, outdoor environment. The equipment and their antennas will need professional installers to mount and setup. The output power and cable feed loss for an installation of the Transnet‐SF9 radio will be set to meet the applicable EIRP limits by the professional installer during installation. The method of adjusting the output power is described in the integrators instructions for incorporation in their end product manual for use by professionally trained installers. The Transnet‐SF9 radio is sold without an antenna and the customer and/or installation engineer chooses from commercially available antennas in the approved antenna scope. The professional installation engineer is responsible to install only those commercially available antenna(s) (or similar) as listed in the filing. From time to time, GE MDS may sell a commercially available antenna as listed in the filing along with the Transnet‐SF9 radio upon customer request and the instruction remind the integrator that only antenna(s) covered in the filing are to be used with the device. GE MDS has also included detailed instructions on how to determine the maximum output power based on EIRP limits for all professional installers to follow. GE MDS LLC is also requesting that FCC ID E5MDS‐SF9 is granted the LMA Limited Modular Approval. None of MDS’s products are for sale to the general public, and are for Industrial applications only, examples, SCADA applications, traffic control, flow rate applications. Thus MDS has a trained staff of technical personnel that work with our industrial customers to ensure “professional installation” is achieved. In all cases the FCC EIRP limits are maintained. When the Limited Modular approval is granted, MDS will perform training on it’s staff, inform them of the “Limited Modular Approval” requirements, and list the technical differences between “Modular and LMA”, to ensure it’s staff keep the installations in compliance. All the FCC module testing was performed with antennas that we currently are going to offer for professional installation of this product. The antenna and cable interfaces, are a NON standard “UMC” connectors, and the cable interconnects do fulfill the FCC’s Modular requirements. All the antennas that will be used with the Professional installation grant, will be installed by trained/qualified personnel to ensure the strictest compliance with FCC rules. All supporting manuals and sales literature reflect the regulatory issues. The following text will be placed in the SF9 installation and user manual, and is being “requested” on the FCC grant. We support this wording on the actual FCC grant and will follow these restrictions “Power listed is conducted. The module may only be installed in professionally installed hosts systems containing the appropriate voltage regulation circuitry and marketed by the OEM detailed in the filing. Marketing to the general public is prohibited. The antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter, including antenna gain and cable loss must be in accordance with configurations described in this filing. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 23 cm from all persons and must not be co- located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi- transmitter product procedures. End -users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Subject: OEM Integration for the SF9 LMA module Applicant: GE MDS LLC. Product: SF9 Model: MDS SF9 FCC ID: E5MDS-SF9 Dear Sir/Madam, The SF9 design was undertaken for a specific customer, “E-PRODUCTIONS”, they are one of our OEM large customers. http://www.ep-solutions.com/ E-productions funded the development of the SF9 module. The module form fit and function were supplied to GE MDS. We were required to meet their dimensions and interfaces. They will supply DC to the module from the exact circuit that was placed in the manual. The regulator schematic was supplied by our customer, this is exactly how it the unit will be used. When the transmitter module is operating with 3.3vdc, there is a “closed loop RF power control” that uses a precision RF detector and “AtoD” converter to maintain the transmitter power with the respective PWR setting chosen, this will operate from +20 to +30dBm, 1dB increments. High gain antenna’s were tested at Elliott labs using this closed loop power RF power control thus maintaining the +36dBm ERP limits. If the voltage dips below or above +3.3vdc the “FWD PWR” control compensates to maintain the programmed RF level. This module will only be sold to the customer E-Productions.
