CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Device: LINKS 2450 Model: LINKS 2450 ESI Identifier: Schematic Diagram: Description: The Links 2450 Rev03 is a FM Narrowband transmitter operating through the frequency band of 450 to 470 MHz and has an output of 2W. The operation of the transmitter is microprocessor controlled and it interfaces with a number of the company’s control panels. It is meant operate as a remote one-way radio link to a central security monitoring station. The Links 2450 consists of two main circuit sections. A control section with a microprocessor based digital logic and the RF transmitter. The control section receives information from the control panel and in turn operates the transmitter to transmit the appropriate message(s). It uses a Varitech format for encoding the message and produces two tones 1070 and 1270 Hz to modulate the transmitter carrier at the selected carrier frequency. The transmitter consists of, a Voltage Controlled Oscillator ((VCO) as the carrier source), a Phase lock Loop (PLL) system, a buffer stage, a pre - driver stage and a final power amplifier stage. The reference frequency for the PLL is derived from a temperature controlled crystal oscillator (TCXO) The VCO is turned on by the microprocessor and is locked on to the desired transmit frequency via the PLL. The PLL sends a “lock detect” signal to the microprocessor which then turns on the Pre-driver and the Power Amplifier stages. A settling time of approximately 15 ms is allowed to elapse before the microprocessor begins to shift out the data that is used to modulate the carrier. The power amplifier, which has an output power of 2 W, is connected to an antenna through a matching compensation network. The signal from the power amplifier is transmitted via the antenna to the receiver where it is decoded and acted upon.

The LINKS 2450 is intended to operate within the band of 450 to 470 MHz inclusive. However, the end user will only be able to operate at a fixed frequency. The end user informs us of the Frequency that they will operate at(which they are licensed for) and that frequency is preprogrammed at our Factory. For example we may have a customer who is licensed to operate at 456.015 MHz, We program this frequency into the units that are to be shipped to that specific customer. Therefore to the customer it is a single frequency operating device. Please note that at the time of our initial application we were advised to center our tests at 455 MHz. I have included a document that shows the MPE calculation of our safe distance requirement. Please note that we had rounded off our calculated value to a convenient figure that would cover our band of operation and also add a margin to the calculated distance. Hope this information helped. Please contact us if any further explanation is required. Thank you and Best Regards, Sherwyn Welshman Manager Wireless Group Sensors and Wireless Division

Report Determination of minimum distance from antenna of LINKS 2450 for maximum permissive exposure. According to IEEE C95.3-1991, a maximum power density limit of F /1500 mW/cm2 at frequencies between 300MHz-1500MHz. In our case for LINKS 2450 this value will be 0.304 mW/cm2. An approximate formula for maximum power density of an antenna is : W= GP/4pd2 From this formula we can calculate the distance d. As a result of mathematics conversions we will get a formula for minimum distance from antenna of any RF transmitter: d[cm]=[GP/(F/1500)]/12.56]1/2 where :- G(p)-gain of antenna[times] P-power[mW] f-frequency[MHz] d-distance [cm] If we substitute the values (P=2000mW, G=3.163, f=456MHz) in this formula we will obtain the minimum distance. It will be : d[cm]=40.684307..... d[m]= 0.407 d[ft] = 1.3537 Prepared by Alexandre Barski Date : December 21, 2000
