HCQ3B6EXFFRIntentional Transmitter - Two-way repeater

© 2006C Inovonics Wireless - www.inovonicswireless.com EN5000 EchoStream ® High-Power Repeater Installation and Operation Manual - 04062C 1 Overview EN5000 high-power repeaters receive, decode and retransmit signals at enhanced power from Inovonics Wireless nodes. They act as range expanders for any valid Inovonics Wireless transmission, including signals from other high-power repeaters. Repeaters can be layered as necessary, allowing Inovonics Wireless systems to scale from small commercial sites to complete campuses consisting of several buildings. For applications that require a weatherproof enclosure, the EN5000 may be placed in the Inovonics weatherproof plastic housing, part number ACC640. 1.1 Inovonics Wireless Contact Information If you have any problems with this procedure, contact Inovonics Wireless technical services: • E-mail: [email protected] • Phone: (800) 782-2709; (303) 939-9336 1.2 EN5000 LEDs Decode LED: Flashes when any recognizable RF transmission is received. (Fig. 1). Transmit LED Lit when transmitting an RF transmission (Fig. 1). Low Battery Fault LED: Lit when the high-power repeaterhas a low battery (Fig. 1). Power LED: Lit when receiving power (Fig. 1). The LED lights green when the unit is receiving line power; red when receiving battery power. Note: If mapped to an output, the high-power repeater will send the AC loss message to the receiver or network coordinator when receiving power from the backup battery. Figure 1 EN5000 LEDs 2 Installation and Startup 2.1 Connect Power Cabling Before beginning startup, power must be connected to the high-power repeater. To connect power to the high-power repeater: 1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or bottom of the high- power repeater (Fig. 2); separate the housing. 2. Connect power cabling to the Vs and GND connections (Fig. 2). • Wire should be two-conductor 20AWG (or larger) stranded-tinned copper with PVC insulation rated to 300 volts at 26°C (80°F). Wire length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). 2.2 Connect Battery Power The high-power repeater is shipped with a fully-charged backup battery. You will need to connect the battery: 1. Plug the connector cable from the backup battery into the battery connector (Fig 2). 2.3 Select the Frequency Band EchoStream products are able to use a range of radio frequencies, and must be configured for your geographic area. To configure the high-power repeater: 1. Use a small screwdriver to press the housing release tab on the top or bottom of the receiver (Fig. 2); separate the housing. 2. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency band selection pins (Fig. 2). • Place the jumper on the top two pins, marked AUS, to set the frequency range to 915- 928 MHz for Australia. • Place the jumper on the bottom two pins, marked NZ, to set the frequency range to 921- 928 MHz for New Zealand. • Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency range to 902-928 MHz for North America. Note: North American is also selected when the jumper is only attached to one pin. This can prevent the jumper from being lost when selecting North America. 3. Cycle power source to reset. 2.4 Register the High-Power Repeater Although the high-power repeater is functional upon startup, Inovonics Wireless strongly recommends you register it using your receiver, network coordinator or control panel. Inovonics Wireless recommends all high-power repeaters be supervised. Figure 2 EN5000 Components 2.5 Mount the High-Power Repeater Caution: Mount the high-power repeater in a location removed from metal. Metal objects (duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce RF range. 1. Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the high-power repeater in a location accessible for future maintenance. • In large installations, high-power repeaters should be mounted so that every transmitter has multiple transmission paths to the serial receiver or network coordinator. This kind of redundancy preserves system integrity in the event of temporary interruptions of any transmission path in the system. • For maximum efficiency, high-power repeaters should be mounted with as few obstacles as possible between it and the receiver, network coordinator or control panel. 2. Perform a walk test, activating each transmitter assigned to the high-power repeater and ensuring an appropriate response. 3 Specifications Housing: 165 mm x 89 mm x 25 mm (6.5" x 3.5" x 1") Weight: 204 g (7.14 oz) Operating environment: 0°- 60°C (32°- 140°F), 90% relative humidity, non-condensing Power requirement: 14 VAC Battery capacity: 1800 mAH @ 3.7 typical Typical back-up battery life: 24 hours Operating frequency: 915-928 MHz (Australia), 921-928 MHz (New Zealand) 902-928 MHz (USA) Battery charger operating environment: 0°- 40°C (32°- 104°F) Accessories: ACC640: weatherproof plastic enclosure for outdoor installations; BAT850: replacement lithium-ion battery assembly 4 Warranty/Disclaimer Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Inovonics Wireless Corporation may void the installer's authority to operate the equipment as well as the product warranty.

FCC ID: HCQ3B6EXFFR EN5000 RF Exposure Information: The device is compliant with both MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) as well as SAR requirements (47CFR2.1093). Calculation for compliance with MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) is done using a worst-case transmitter power of 250 mW, assumption of a unity gain antenna, and an exposure limit of 0.6 mW/cm 2 (f/1500 mW/cm 2 at 20 cm per 47CFR1.1310) for general applications. This device is not carried or worn by the user. It has an extremely low duty cycle and a low rate of transmission that dramatically reduces the average power level that could pose an exposure hazard. The averaging interval specified in Table 1(B) of 47CFR1.1310 is 30 minutes. Every message round transmitted by the EN5000 is 22.4 msec long, including the preamble, and contains system status. Every hour up to 6 pagers may check in. The EN5000 will send a 2 round acknowledgment to each of these messages, 12 rounds in one hour. For the purposes of this calculation, it is assumed that 10 rounds will be sent in a 30-minute period. A round is 22.4 ms in length. The worst-case average power density at a distance of 20 cm is then, 223 189.6 )20(4 1 1060 min14.22 min30 10 250 cm nW cmms rounds msrounds mW=× × ××× π This is well below the 0.6 mW/cm 2 MPE limit. Calculation for compliance with SAR requirements (47CFR2.1093) is done using a worst-case transmitter power of 250 mW time-averaged by the duty cycle of the transmitter, and the assumption that all RF energy could be absorbed in 1 gram of tissue. The peak exposure limit is 1.6 mW/g (equivalent to 1.6 W/kg per 47CFR2.1093) in any 1 gram of tissue for General Population/Uncontrolled applications. In any 3-minute interval, worst-case 3 pagers could check in causing 2 round acknowledgments for each.

Testing was performed in 3 different orthogonal axis to determine the worst case emissions from the device. The worst case emissions measurements are shown in this report. FCC CFR47 Part 15.31: Measurement Standards: In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. FCC CFR47 Part 15.35: Measurement Detector Functions and Bandwidths: FCC Part 15.35 was utilized when performing the measurements within this report. In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was verified per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. The actual test distance for the FCC Part 15.209 testing was conducted at 10m for the fact that the device was being tested to EN55022 Class B from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz (meets/exceeds the FCC Part 15.209 & 109B limits) The data is automatically extrapolated back to the FCC 3m limits and measurements are corrected to better show the compliance to FCC requirements and reduce confusion. A correction factor of 10.54dB is used in cases of 30MHz and up for a difference between 10m and 3m measurement distances. All measurements that are lesser than 30MHz where applicable are accompanied with the fall of measurements and calculations to support the interpolation. Modifications required to pass: Test Specification Deviations: Additions to or Exclusions from This test report is in-part, International Approvals Laboratories, LLC was asked to test only the field strength of the fundamental and harmonics as well as the unintentional radiated and conducted emissions when applicable.

March 15, 2007 To: Steven Dayhoff, FCC Equipment Authorization Branch From: Daryl Burkhard, Inovonics Wireless Corp. Applicant: Inovonics Wireless Corp. FCC ID: HCQ3B6EXFFR CRN: 32687 731 CN EA988186 Subject: Response to question about test setup photo. Steven, The test setup photo and test report showing multiple units is for the unintentional radiator tests. We commonly test several units at a time during this test. The lab looks for any spurious signals that are outside of the allowable limit. If none are found during these sweeps, all of the units pass. If we do find a spurious signal outside of the limit, we isolate that unit and remove it from the test and continue to test the remaining units. For the intentional radiator tests, each unit is tested separately and a separate report provided. If you have any additional questions, please contact me. Thank you, Daryl Burkhard Project Engineer Inovonics Wireless Corp. 315 CTC Blvd Louisville, CO 80027 (303) 209-7145 [email protected]
