RETLIF TESTING LABORATORIES TEST REPORT R-4564N-1 April 24, 2006 FCC COMPLIANCE TEST REPORT ON LAB PARTNERS ASSOCIATES, INC. POCKETWIZARD PLUSII FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 Test Report No. R-4564N-1 FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 APPLICANT Lab Partners Associates, Inc. 41 IDX Drive, Suite 265 South Burlington, VT 05403 MANUFACTURER SAME TEST SPECIFICATION: FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15, Subpart C, Para. 15.231 TEST PROCEDURE: ANSI C63.4:2003 TEST SAMPLE DESCRIPTION: BRANDNAME: PocketWizard MODEL: PocketWizard Plus II TYPE: Remote Triggering System (Camera Flash Control) POWER REQUIREMENTS: DC via wall mount 120VAC, 60Hz power adapter FREQUENCY BAND OF OPERATION: 344.04MHz to 354.0MHz MODULATION: OOK (On/Off Keying) TYPE OF TRANSMISSION: Control Signal (Pulse Recognition Codes) FREQUENCIES TESTED: 344.05MHz, 354.0MHz FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 TESTS PERFORMED: 15.231 (b) Spurious Radiated Emissions (30MHz to 3.6GHz) 15.231 (b) Field Strength of Fundamental 15.231 (c) Occupied Bandwidth, 0.25% of Fundamental Frequency 15.207 (a) Conducted Emissions Duty Cycle Determination NOTE: Testing was performed at 2 frequencies (low and high) within the operational band per the requirements of 15.31 (m) for devices operating within a 1 - 10MHz band but not exceeding 10MHz. Test Report No. R-4564N-1 FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 TEST SAMPLE OPERATION: The EUT is dc powered via an external 120VAC/DC Power Supply. The device is normally manually operated and transmits a control signal for remote triggering of a flashpack. Normal operation of the EUT complies with the parameters required in Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.231. For testing purposes only the EUT was configured to continuously transmit. TEST SAMPLE / TEST PROGRAM •The transmitter is manually activated and employs a switch that automatically deactivates the transmitter within 5 seconds of being released. CThe transmitter does not perform periodic transmissions at regularly predetermined intervals. CThe device can not be employed for RC purposes involving security. •The device uses an external permanently attached rubber coated copper spring antenna. CThe fundamental field strength at 344.05MHz did not exceed 7250μV/M (Average) at a test distance of 3 meters. The fundamental field strength at 354.0MHz did not exceed 7666μV/M (Average) at a test distance of 3 meters. •The peak value of fundamental emissions did not exceed a peak field strength limit corresponding to 20dB above the maximum permitted average limit. CThe field strength of harmonic and spurious emissions did not exceed 725μV/M or 500μV/M as applicable for a fundamental frequency of 344.05MHz. The field strength of harmonic and spurious emissions did not exceed 766μV/M or 500μV/M as applicable for a fundamental frequency of 354.0MHz. No harmonic or spurious emissions were observed within 20dB of the specified limit at test distances of 1 or 3 meters. CThe device can operate within the range of 344.04 to 354.00MHz. The device was tested at the frequencies of 344.05MHz and 354.0MHz. The bandwidth of emissions did not exceed 0.25% of the operating frequency and was determined as follows: Fundamental Frequency=344.05MHz 0.25% of Center Frequency=0.860MHz 0.860 divided by 2=0.430MHz Bandwidth Range=Fundamental Frequency + and - 0.430MHz 344.05MHz - 0.430MHz=343.62MHz 344.05MHz + 0.430MHz=344.48MHz Bandwidth Range=343.62MHz - 344.48MHz Test Report No. R-4564N-1 FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 TEST SAMPLE / TEST PROGRAM (continued): (Bandwidth) Fundamental Frequency=354.0MHz 0.25% of Center Frequency=0.885MHz 0.885 divided by 2=0.4425MHz Bandwidth Range=Fundamental Frequency + and - 0.4425MHz 354.0MHz - 0.4425MHz=353.5575MHz 354.0MHz + 0.4425MHz=354.4425MHz Bandwidth Range=353.5575MHz - 354.4425MHz CRadiated Emissions from the EUT were measured in all three axis. The attached Radiated Emissions test data is representative of the worst case orientation. •Conducted Emissions did not exceed the limits specified in 15.207 (a). DETERMINATION OF FIELD STRENGTH LIMITS The field strength limits shown below were calculated as instructed in Section 15.231. Fundamental Frequency: 344.05MHz Where F is the frequency in MHz, the formula for calculating the maximum permitted fundamental field strength for the band 260-470MHz, μV/m at 3 meters is as follows: 41.6667(F) - 7083.3333 =Field Strength Limit (μV/m) 41.6667 x 344.05=14335.428 14335.428 - 7083.3333=7252 Field Strength Limit=7252μV/m = 77.21dBuV/M The maximum permitted unwanted emission level is 20dB below the maximum permitted fundamental level which equals 725μV/m = 57.21dBuV/M. Test Report No. R-4564N-1 FCC ID: KDS-PW2-003 TEST SAMPLE / TEST PROGRAM (continued) Field Strength Limit Calculations continued: Fundamental Frequency: 354.0MHz Where F is the frequency in MHz, the formula for calculating the maximum permitted fundamental field strength for the band 260-470MHz, μV/m at 3 meters is as follows: 41.6667(F) - 7083.3333 =Field Strength Limit (μV/m) 41.6667 x 354.0=14750.012 14750.012 - 7083.3333=7666.678 Field Strength Limit=7666.678μV/m = 77.69dBuV/M The maximum permitted unwanted emission level is 20dB below the maximum permitted fundamental level which equals 766.67μV/m = 57.69dBuV/M DETERMINATION OF DUTY CYCLE The transmitter controls were adjusted to maximize the transmitted duty cycle. The analyzer was set for a frequency span of 0Hz. The sweep time was then adjusted in order to display one full pulse train. The transmitter on time was then summed and compared to the time for one full cycle in order to obtain the duty cycle. As the pulse train exceeded 100msec in duration the worst case duty cycle was determined by measuring/calculating the 100msec period with the greatest on time. The on times were determined as follows: The worst case 100msec period contained 6 pulse bursts. The individual pulses within each burst were measured and summed in order to obtain the total “on time” within 100msec. Fundamental Frequency: 344.0MHz Transmitter On Time=.995 milliseconds Transmitter Cyc…
