KETEC PHAZOR SYSTEM AND TAG INSTALLATION GUIDE PLEASE READ CAREFULLY KETEC INC. INSTALLATION GUIDE NO. 006 REV.0 © May 29, 2007 FCC COMPLIANCE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits stated in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference. EQUIPMENT MODIFICATION Any equipment changes or modifications not expressly approved by Ketec Inc. could void the user's authority to operate this equipment under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Unauthorized changes or modifications will also void any warranty provided by Ketec Inc. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER Ketec Inc. makes no representation or warranty with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness of purpose. Further, Ketec Inc. reserves the right to revise this publication or make changes to its content without obligation to notify any person or company of such revision or change.

Installation Before installing any Ketec equipment, check all packing materials to be sure that all parts, hardware, manuals, etc., have been included. Be sure that there is sufficient room to install the system, and that there is a 120VAC outlet within 10 feet of the system. A single aisle system will usually consist of (1) antenna panel and (1) wall-mount power supply. Position the completed assembly at the area that you wish to protect, trying to keep away from any power, telephone, or computer wires. Fasten the antenna to the floor, with the appropriate hardware, through the mounting holes provided in the antenna base. Plug the power supply into an available 120 VAC wall outlet. THAT'S ALL!! Phazor Antenna Panel 120 VAC Wall-Plug In Power Supply Tagging Guide The Phazor is a hard and soft tag detection system that will respond to any tags within several feet of the antenna panel. Since the detection field extends from both sides of the panel, it is important to avoid placing any tagged merchandise within the protected area. As a general rule, tags should be at least 6 feet from all sides of the antenna panel. REMEMBER: Hard tags used with this system must be removed at the cash register using the appropriate detacher. Failure to remove any tag will result in an alarm as the customer leaves the store. Tagged Merchandise can Tagged Merchandise can be placed in this area. be placed in this area.

Testing the Phazor for FCC Part 15 Certification: The Phazor system uses a swept frequency transmitter that is gated on and off at a frequency of 667Hz. The sweep technique, definition, and measurement is the same as used and previously agreed upon by the FCC for similar devices manufactured by Checkpoint Systems Inc. and Ketec Inc. See included documents from Ed Gibbons and Rich Fabina of the FCC. 1.The Phazor will produce 8 pulsed emissions at 8 different frequencies. The generation and transmission of these frequencies constitutes the fundamental frequency band and will be considered as a frequency hopping swept emission. The bandwidth is considered to be the spectrum between the lowest and highest pulsed frequencies and is greater than 10%. This satisfies the swept frequency requirement of Section 15.205(d). 2.The 8 frequencies will be considered as one fundamental frequency centered at 8.175 MHz. 3.The ratio of the maximum restricted band infringed upon divided by the fundamental emission bandwidth must be less than 1% to satisfy Section 15.205. 4.The transmitter is microprocessor controlled and is not capable of stopping in any restricted band. By its’ inherent design, the transmitter is also incapable of stopping the sweep during measurements. 5.Fundamental and harmonic emissions up to 10 MHz will be measured at their true peak value according to the analyzer. To measure true peak, the analyzer is set to a frequency span of 6-10 MHz, peak detector, 300KHz Bandwidth, in the “max hold” condition. (Increasing the bandwidth beyond 300KHz does not increase the peak reading.) The peak reading of the displayed emission is then compared to the average limit of 15.223 (100uv/m @ 30m or 40dbuv/m) plus 20db. The corrected limit will be 60dbuv/m @ 30m. This is done due to the swept and pulsed nature of the transmission and in agreement with the FCC. 6.Emissions above 10 MHz will be made using CISPR quasi-peak measurements. 7.Conducted emissions remain as specified in Part 15 rules. Included are a copy of the FAX from Ed Gibbons to Checkpoint Systems, dated 8/2/96, agreeing with the above measurement method, a reprint of text for clarity, and a copy of the email from Rich Fabina to Ketec Inc. confirming the same method for a similar Ketec product. Text clarification of the Ed Gibbons Fax. Corrections made by Mr. Gibbons edited in. Dear Mr. Gibbons, Following up on our recent phone conversations, please confirm and if necessary correct our understanding of the points discussed below. Based on the details of our fax dated 7/3/96. •Our pulsed emissions will be treated as frequency hopping, where the bandwidth will be considered the spectrum contained between the lowest and highest carrier frequency we pulse. •A simple ratio of the maximum single restricted band infringed upon divided by the bandwidth of our fundamental emission must be less than 1% to satisfy section 15.205 of the rules. •For fundamental and harmonic emissions in the band 1.705 - 10 MHz, a 20db reduction from the true peak is to be compared to the limits of 100 uv/m at 30 meters. The unit is modulated as normally installed. True peak refers to the point at which the analyzer bandwidth is adjusted for maximum pulse desensitization. •For emissions outside the 1.705 - 10MHz band, CISPR quasi-peak measurements will be made with the unit modulating as normally installed. Based on the bandwidth plot, care must be given to measure multiples of the worst case emission points. Limits are specified in section 15.209. •Conducted emissions remain as specified in part 15 of the rules. A copy of the fax from Ed Gibbons to Checkpoint and the email from Rich Fabina to Ketec:

The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows: FS = RA + AF + CF - AG Where FS = Field Strength in dBμV/m RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBμV CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB AF = Antenna Factor in dB AG = Amplifier Gain in dB In the following table(s), the reading shown on the data table reflects the preamplifier gain. An example for the calculations in the following table is as follows. Assume a receiver reading of 52.0 dBμV is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 dB and cable factor of 1.6 dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB is subtracted, giving a field strength of 32 dBμV/m. This value in dBμV/m was converted to its corresponding level in μV/m. RA = 52.0 dBμV AF = 7.4 dB/m CF = 1.6 dB AG = 29.0 dB FS = 32 dBμV/m Level in μV/m = [10( 32 dBμV/m)/20] = 39.8 μV/m The following is how net line-conducted readings were determined: NF = RF + LF + CF + AF Where NF = Net Reading in dBμV RF = Reading from receiver in dBμV LF = LISN Correction Factor in dB CF = Cable Correction Factor in dB AF = Attenuator Loss Factor in dB To convert from dBμV to μV or mV the following was used: UF = 10 (NF / 20) where UF = Net Reading in μV Example: NF = RF + LF + CF + AF = 28.5 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 20.0 = 49.1 dBμV UF = 10 (48.1 dBμV / 20) = 254 μV/m Report Number 3125816BOX-007 Page 6 of 35 3.1 Measurement Uncertainty Compliance of the product is based on the measured value. However, the measurement uncertainty is included for informational purposes.
