Northwest EMC TCB Compliance Opinion Rev. 12/08/09 DIGC0117 Information about the Applicant Grantee (Company Name) Digital Control, Inc. FCC Contact Person Bruce E. Kolpack Address 19625 62nd Avenue South, Suite B103 City, State, Zip Kent, WA 98032 Job Number DIGC0117 Model F5Dp 19/12, F5Dp 12/1.3, F5DLp 19/12 FCC ID KKG50416 Agent NA Approval Type Original Equipment Class DCD Part 15, low power Tx below 1.705 MHz Rule Part 15.209 Overview This application is for an original filing of a low frequency transmitter under three models, F5Dp 19/12, F5Dp 12/1.3 and F5DLp 19/12. The FCC ID for the three models is KKG50416. The F5Dp 19/12 and F5Dp 12/1.3 are electrically and mechanically identical. The F5DLp 19/12 differs in the length of antenna. The test report shows both the 12 kHz and 19.2 kHz settings to have been tested and the data reported shows the results of the 19”, Model F5DLp 19/12, which has the highest output power. Confidentiality requested for allowed files. Request is properly addressed and referenced. Agent authorization has been verified. Recommendation All items have been resolved and completed to my satisfaction; therefore I recommend this application for approval. Signature Dave Tolman, TCB Committee 4/12/2011

I ~ C I ® DIGITAL CONTROL INCORPORATE D 19625 62NO AVENUE SOUTH, SUITE 8-103 • KENT, WASHINGTON 98032 USA PHONE 425-251-0701 ·FAX 425-251·0702. www.digitt·akcom April 7, 2011 To whom it may concern, We are seeking original certification approval of the DigiTrak<!> F F5<!> fluid pressure monitoring transmitters (models: F5Dp 19/12, F5Dp 12/1.3, and F5DLp 19/12) under Part 15.209 of FCC rules. The FCC to number for this product is KKG50416. The product is an underground low frequency magnetic field transmitter and is part of a system that is used for guiding and fluid pressure monitoring purposes in a horizontal directional drilling operation. The DigiTrak® F5Dp 19/12 and F5Dp 12/1.3 transmitters are electrically and mechanically identical to each other. The power requirement, power output, and modulation are the same as well as the method, equipment, and materials used in the manufacture. The devices differ only in labeling and frequency of operation (F5Dp 19/12 operates at either 19 kHz or 12 kHz, the F5Dp 12/1.3 operates at either 12 kHz or 12 kHz and 1.3 kHz simultaneously). The F5DLp 19/12 differs from the F5Dp models in the length of antenna, thus the output power and power consumption (battery life) are also different. The F5DLp 19/12 is 19" (48.26 cm) long and with a specified transmitting range of 85 It (25.9 m) where the F5Dp 19/12 and F5Dp 12/1.3 are 15" (38.1 cm) long with a specified transmitting range of 65 It (19.8 m). The F5Dp 19/12 and F5DLp 19/12 models are identical in frequency and modulation as well as the method, equipment, and materials used in the manufacture. The test report DIGC0117 represents all models. Sincerely, ;j~ /:::::. \ ,- Bruce E. Kolpack Digital Control Inc. 1962562"' Ave. South, Suite B103 Kent WA, 98032

WASHINGTON 98032 USA PHONE 425-251·0701 ·FAX 425·251·0702· www.digitrBk.com March 18,2011 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 To whom it may concern, We hereby respectfully request that, under the provisions of 47 CFR § 0.459, the documents listed below and attached with this application for certification be provided with confidential status and not made routinely available for public inspection: (1) Schematics. pdf (2) Operational Description.pdf (3) Frequency Block Diagram.pdf Any exhibitlinfonnation for which we have requested confidentiality, but which may not be accorded such treatment by the FCC, should be returned to us. The documents listed above contain company trade secrets. Significant engineering resources were expended designing the pa11s of the product shown in the schematics, frequency block diagram, and operational description. It is our belief that it would be difficult to reverse-engineer the product from publicly available information (including the product itself). Substantial competitive harm to us could therefore result should these documents be made available to the public. We face both domestic and foreign competition in our market (locating equipment for horizontal directional drilling), including product piracy (attempts at direct knock-offs). Disclosure of the documents listed above would provide our competitors and potential product pirates with an unfair competitive advantage, by allowing them to copy our technical solutions without the development expense. We protect this infOimation through the following primary procedures: (I) all employees and contractors are required to sign nondisclosure agreements, as are any visitors, vendors or other third parties who may be exposed to any confidential information, and (2) the information is only provided to employees and third parties on a "need to know" basis. The information is not publicly available, and is not included in our operating manuals or on our website. We are not aware of the infonnation listed above having been disclosed to any third party not bound by a nondisclosure agreement. The materials listed above should not be available for public disclosure at any time. Our products can remain in service for extended periods of time (more than ten or fifteen years), and the rate of significant technological change in our industry is sufficiently slow that even the copying by our competitors of technical information from many years in the past could result in the creation of a product that might be competitively harinful to us.
