Page 1 of 3 RF Exposure Requirements General information: Device category: Fixed per Part 2.1091/1.1307/1.1310 Environment: Uncontrolled Exposure Fixed devices that operate under Part 90 of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use if they operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more. Compliance with the power density limits of 1.1310 is required. Antenna: The manufacturer does not specify an antenna. A typical fix mounted antenna has a gain of anywhere from 3 dBi. This device has provisions for operation from a fixed location. Configuration Antenna p/n Type Max. Gain (dBi) Fixed mounted Any omni or directional 3 Operating configuration and exposure conditions: The conducted output power is 3 Watts. Although the device is fixed mounted control of exposure is an uncontrolled environment but the duty cycle will be approximately 100% or less and is controlled thru the software of the system. - Part 2.1091 states that devices are excluded from routine evaluation if the EIRP is less than 2.46Watt (or 1.5WERP). - Fixed operation: A typical installation consists of an antenna system with a coaxial cable of the type RG 8U which has a loss of 1dB for a length of 30 feet at UHF. frequencies. MPE Calculation: The minimum separation distance is calculated as follows: The limit for uncontrolled exposure environment above 300 MHz is f/1500 mW/cm 2 . Page 2 of 3 Frequency: 406.1 MHz The conducted power output is: 3 Watts The coax loss was taken as: 1 dB (30 ft RG-8 type). Antenna gain was taken as: 3 dBi Page 3 of 3 Conclusion: The device complies with the MPE requirements when providing a safe separation distance of 37 cm (1.2 ft) between the antenna, including any radiating structure, and any persons when operated as described in the report which is typical of its intended use. Proposed RF exposure safety information to include in User’s Manual: “FCC RF Exposure Requirements: See Users Manual

DESCRIPTION OF TEST SAMPLE Brand Name Eclipse 2 Model Number 500 Series, Band A Product Base Station (400-430 MHz) Manufacturer RF Technologies Manufactured in Australia Serial Number 00285 FCC ID - This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interfernce at his own expense. RF Exposure: This transmitter must use antennas that are fixed mounted on permanent structures and maintain a separation distance of at lea st 6 ft between any part of the radiating structure (antenna) and the general population. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 30 Test Report No 110131.3b 23 June 2011.
