Request for Confidentiality Date: March 11, 2011 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: FCC ID: HCQ3B6O TPMTX; IC ID 2309A-OTPMTX Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent* 1 Internal Photos Short Term Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM Short Term Permanent Tune-Up Procedure Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Short Term Permanent* User’s Manual *Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ Inovonics Wireless Corporation has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of 180 2 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Pe r m i t-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.” 2 - Please refer to http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-Standard-Confidentiality.pdf for complete details. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, Keal Vigil Production Control Specialist II

FCC Limited Modular Application Request FCC ID: HCQ3B6OTPMTX March 2, 2011 In compliance with FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, this document is submitted to request a limited modular approval and address the eight requirements identified in the Public Notice: 1.) The RF portion of the circuit has limited shielding from the integrated ground plane in the device’s printed circuit board, and the requirement for shielding is not fully compliant for a Full Modular Grant. Control of the final installation will be performed progressively through instructions documented in the installation manual, review of the host installation by Inovonics, and if necessary, testing the host installation to verify compliance. 2.) This transmitter only accepts a switch closure for data input. The rate at which the input switches affect modulation is controlled by a micro-controller; excessive data rates are not possible. 3.) The modular transmitter has its own voltage regulator, VR1 on the schematic. 4.) The antenna on the modular transmitter is a printed trace on the PCB; it is permanently attached. 5.) The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration. Power was supplied by a 3.2 volt battery. 6.) The modular transmitter will be labeled with its own FCC ID number (see submitted picture), and the modular transmitters will include the following instructions for exterior label requirements: “FCC Label Requirements for EN1501-EXT Inovonics Wireless has received Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval to market RF modules. The host integrator is responsible for properly labeling the product containing the RF module. Labels must be placed on the outside of the product, and must include a statement indicating that product contains the module, along with the FCC number. Example 1 “Contains RF Module FCC ID: HCQ3B6OTPMT X” Example 2 “Contains FCC ID: HCQ3 B6OTPMT X” RF Module FCC Registration Number EN1501-EXT • FCC: HCQ3B6OTPMT X” 7.) The modular transmitter was tested and conforms with Section15.247. 8.) RF Exposure Information: The device is compliant with MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) and SAR requirements (47CFR2.1093). Calculation for compliance with MPE requirements (47CFR2.1091) is done using a worst-case transmitter power of 50 mW, assuming 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 transmitter initiates a transmission upon sensing a change of state. In addition to these change-of-state transmissions, the transmitter is configured to transmit a supervisory message once every 3 minutes. The maximum message length may occur when the transmitter transmits a serial message consisting of a 12 ms preamble followed by 32 ms of synchronization, identification, payload, and CRC data. The averaging interval specified in Table 1(B) of 47CFR1.1310 is 30 minutes. For the purposes of this calculation, it is assumed that ten supervisory and five change-of-state messages will be sent in the 30-minute interval. Each supervisory message consists of 3 redundant packets, and each change of state message contains 21 packets, for a total of 135 packets in the 30-minute interval. A packet is typically 22.4 ms in length. For this calculation, a maximum packet length of 44 ms will be used. The worst-case average power density at a distance of 20 cm is then, 223 8.32 )20(4 1 1060 min144 min30 135 50 cm nW cmms packet mspackets 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 50 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 the device may transmit up to 2 alarm messages and a supervisory message for a total of 45 packets. The maximum duty cycle of the device is, %1.1011.0 1060 min144 min3 45 3 == × ×× ms packet ms packets The time-averaged RF transmitted power is then, mWW55.0011.005.0=× If all of the transmitted power were absorbed in a 1-gram sample of tissue, the resulting power density is 0.55 mW/gram and is well below the 1.6 mW/gram limit.

FCC ID: HCQ3B6OTPMT EN1501 IC ID: 2309A-OTPMT 9. RF Exposure Information: 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 47CF R1.1310) for general applications. This device is not carried or worn by the end 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 transmitter is typically activated by the opening or closing of a door or window. In addition to these change-of-state transmissions, the transmitter is configured to transmit a supervisory message once every 3 minutes. The averaging interval specified in Table 1(B) of 47CFR1.1310 is 30 minutes. For the purposes of this calculation, it is assumed that ten supervisory and five change-of- state messages will be sent in the 30-minute interval. Each supervisory message consists of 3 redundant packets, and each change of state message contains 21 packets, for a total of 135 packets in the 30-minute interval.
