K5B-TP100Low Power Process Control Transmitter

DRAFT TriggerPad TP -100/105 DESCRIPTION:______________________________ Rugged wireless remote control is within reach. Matric’s TriggerPad family of handheld transmitters are ideal for many material handling and process control applications such as jib cranes, sifting grates, slurry barges, and belt controls. TriggerPad handhelds are pocket sized operator control stations that provide long switch life, one hand operation, and extended battery life. With a typical range of 300 feet and a rugged molded enclosure, the TriggerPad is right at home on the plant floor, in a quarry, or in your tool belt. Consult our online catalog for the latest models and features in the TriggerPad family of handheld transmitters. FEATURES:_________________________________ • Sealed handheld enclosure • Range of 300 feet • License free radio (FCC Part 15B) • One month battery life (typical) • 1 million cycle sealed pushbuttons • Easy one hand operation • Custom labeling available APPLICATION:______________________________ Please Note: The TriggerPad 100/105 is not intended for use as an emergency stop device. The TriggerPad 100/105 is a transmit on command device. Data is transmitted from the TriggerPad only when a button is being pressed by an operator. CRC data error checking and data message identifiers are used to insure that transmitted data is correctly received and interpreted. The transmit on demand feature results in extended battery life (up to 1 month in most applications). However, without a continuously maintained communication link, the TriggerPad is not appropriate for applications that require a handheld shutdown for emergency or safety purposes. A system level risk assessment should be performed before any new control application is installed.

Digital information is modulated at the transmitter using FSK (frequency shift keying), the binary fo rm of frequency modulation.

These advantages will be particularly appreciated in crowded bands like those in which the HP-II operates.While FSK modulation is not the most bandwidth- efficient manner of modulating digital data, it is an excellent choice for reliable, low-cost, low-power RF products such as the HP Series-II. To transmit analog information the module reverts to FMmodulation.In this mode simple to complex waveforms can be introduced at the transmitter’s data pin and recovered with minimal distortion at the receiver’s analog output pin.

THEORY OF OPERATION The module is a high-performance, eight-channel, FM transmitter capable of transmitting analog or digital data. Digital information is modulated at the transmitter using FSK (frequency shift keying), the binary form of frequency modulation. FSK offers significant advantages over AM-based modulation methods, i.e., increased noise immunity and the ability of the receiver to “capture” in the presence of multiple signals. These advantages will be particularly appreciated in crowded bands like those in which the transmitter operates. While FSK modulation is not the most bandwidth-efficient manner of modulating digital data, it is an excellent choice for reliable, low-cost, low-power RF products. To transmit analog information the module reverts to FM modulation. In this mode simple to complex waveforms can be introduced at the transmitter’s data pin and recovered with minimal distortion at the receiver’s analog output pin. The user-supplied antenna is connected at pin 2. The transmitter is designed to operate with a 50-ohm load. An accurate 12.00MHz VCXO (voltage-controlled crystal oscillator) serves as the frequency reference for the transmitter. The modulation input pin is connected to the VCXO through a two-pole low-pass filter. The low-pass filter is used to shape the incoming data and limit the transmission bandwidth to 25kHz. The reference frequency is directly modulated. This method affords two benefits. First, it eliminates the need for a frequency conversion in the transmitter, reducing size, cost, and current consumption. Second, it allows the modulation to occur within the loop bandwidth of the frequency synthesizer allowing a wide modulation bandwidth of 50Hz to 25kHz. The modulated 12.00MHz reference frequency is applied to the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). The PLL, combined with a 902-928MHz VCO, forms a stable frequency synthesizer that can be programmed to oscillate at a number of preset frequencies. An on-board micro-controller reads the channel-selection lines and programs the PLL to the desired channel frequency. The micro-controller also monitors the status of the PLL and indicates when the transmitter is stable and ready to transmit data by asserting the CTS line high. A buffer amplifier is used to isolate the VCO from the antenna and to increase the output power of the transmitter. The output of the buffer amplifier is connected to a LPF, which is used to suppress harmonic emissions. All harmonic specifications are based on a 50-ohm load.

Washington Laboratories, Ltd. has been accepted by the FCC and approved by NIST NVLAP (NVLAP Lab Code: 200066-0) as an independent FCC test laboratory. All results reported herein relate only to the equipment tested. The measurement uncertainty of the data contained herein is ±2.3 dB. Refer to Appendix A for Statement of Measurement Uncertainty. This report shall not be used to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any agency of the US Government. 1.1 Summary The Matric Limited TP 100 complies with the limits for an Intentional Radiator under Part 15.249 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. 2.0 Description of Equipment Under Test (EUT) The Matric Limited TP(Trigger Pad) 100 (EUT) is a hand-held industrial control transmitter operated by three (3)“AA” type batteries at 4.5VDC. The unit operates at 906.5 MHz and is used to control various material handling and process control applications. 2.1 On-board Oscillators The Matric Limited TP 100 contains the following oscillators: 3.686 MHz. 3.0 Test Configuration To complete the test configuration required by the FCC, the TP 100 was configured to continuously transmit and tested in all three orthogonal planes. The EUT is a standalone unit and contains no I/O ports or cables. 3.1 Testing Algorithm The TP 100 was turned on and configured to constantly transmit. The system was tested in all three orthogonal planes. Worst case emissions are recorded in the data tables. Matric Limited FCC ID:K5B-TP100 WLL Project #:6180X 2 3.2 Conducted Emissions Testing The TP 100 is battery-powered, therefore no conducted emissions testing was performed. 3.3 Radiated Emissions Testing The EUT was placed on an 80 cm high 1 x 1.5 meters non-conductive motorized turntable for radiated testing on a 3- meter open field test site. The emissions from the EUT were measured continuously at every azimuth by rotating the turntable. Biconical and log periodic broadband antennas were mounted on an antenna mast to determine the height of maximum emissions. The height of the antenna was varied between 1 and 4 meters. The peripherals were placed on the table in accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992. Cables were varied in position to produce maximum emissions. Both the horizontal and vertical field components were measured. The output from the antenna was connected, via a preamplifier, to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The detector function was set to quasi-peak or peak, as appropriate. The measurement bandwidth on the spectrum analyzer system was set to at least 120 kHz, with all post-detector filtering no less than 10 times the measurement bandwidth. For measurements above 1 GHz the measurement bandwidth was set to 1 MHz. 3.3.1 Radiated Data Reduction and Reporting To convert the raw spectrum analyzer radiated data into a form that can be compared with the FCC limits, it is necessary to account for various calibration factors that are supplied with the antennas and other measurement accessories. These factors are grouped into a composite antenna factor (AFc) and are supplied in the AFc column of Table 1. In addit…
