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 inter- preted. The transmit on demand feature results in extended battery life (up to 1 month in most applications). However, without a continu- ously 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. Page 3 CONFIGURATION:___________________________ Label There are several standard label configurations available for the Trig- gerPad, each geared to a typical TriggerPad application. If your appli- cation requires a unique label, our engineering staff can create a cus- tom label according to your specifications. Please refer to the Trigger- Pad configuration sheet to select an off-the-shelf label or to specify a custom label. Radio Channel Configuration The TriggerPad supports eight channels to avoid interaction when mul- tiple systems are employed in close proximity situations. The radio channel can be configured at the factory prior to shipment or by a cus- tomer’s technician in the field. See the configuration sheet to specify a channel for factory configuration. *Factory default channel selection Channel Frequency 0 903.37 MHz 1* 906.37 MHz* 2 907.87 MHz 3 909.37 MHz 4 912.37 MHz 5 915.37 MHz 6 919.87 MHz 7 921.37 MHz For safety reasons, on site radio channel configuration requires the fol- lowing basic steps. 1.Power down and lock out any systems that could be operating at the frequencies shown above. 2.Set the TriggerPad channel. (See instructions below.) 3.Set the channel of the ProComm. (Refer to the appropriate receiver user manual, i.e. ProComm 100, for receiver configuration.) 4.Return processes and equipment to service.

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.

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 105 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) 105 (EUT) is a hand-held industrial control transmitter operated by three (3)“AA” type batteries at 4.5VDC. The unit operates on three channels from 903.37 MHz to 921.37 MHz and is used to control various material handling and process control applications. The TP 105 unit contains 8 bush- buttons for control. 2.1 On-board Oscillators The Matric Limited TP 105 contains the following oscillators: 3.686 MHz. 3.0 Test Configuration To complete the test configuration required by the FCC, the TP 105 was configured to continuously transmit. The EUT is a standalone unit and contains no I/O ports or cables. 3.1 Testing Algorithm The TP 105 was turned on and constantly transmitting. The unit was tested in all three orthogonal planes. Matric Limited FCC ID:K5B-TP105 WLL Project #:6182X 2 Worst case emissions are recorded in the data tables. 3.2 Conducted Emissions Testing The TP 105 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. Measurements above 1 GHz were made with a 1 MHz measurement bandwidth. 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 addition, the Duty Cycle Correction Factor (Afd) is su…
