This application is being filed by Retlif Testing Laboratories at the request, and with the approval of Global Data, Inc. The applicable Certification Filing Fee and 731 Form have been submitted. I trust that you will find the enclosed application to be complete; however, should you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to contact us. Very truly yours, RETLIF TESTING LABORATORIES Scott Wentworth Manager Enc. (as stated) Test Report No. R-3676N1 FCC ID: L7BNOVAS-120 APPLICANT Global Data, Inc. Granite Communications 13 Columbia Drive, Suite 6 Amherst, NH 03031 MANUFACTURER SAME TEST SPECIFICATION: FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15, Subpart C, Para. 15.207, 15.209 TEST PROCEDURE: ANSI C63.4:1992 TEST SAMPLE DESCRIPTION BRANDNAME: Global Data, Inc. MODEL: NOVAS-120 TRADE NAME WITH ID BOARD: NOVAS-RFID EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST: 13.56MHz Portable RF ID Read/Write Terminal POWER SOURCE: Rechargeable High Capacity NIMH 3.65VDC Battery Pack - User Replaceable, External 120VAC, 60Hz Wall Mount Charger FREQUENCY OF OPERATION: 13.56MHz EMISSIONS DESIGNATOR: W2D FCC ID: L7BNOVAS-120 APPLICABLE RULE SECTION: Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.201 General Requirements and 15.207, 15.209, 15.215, and 15.225 TESTS PERFORMED Frequency Stability/ Tolerance Field Strength of Fundamental Out of Band Emissions Conducted Emissions TEST SAMPLE OPERATION The EUT is used in identification, and any type of application requiring portable remote gathering and Test Report No. R-3676N1 FCC ID: L7BNOVAS-120 delivering of information. The NOVAS-120 transmitter will only transmit at 13.56MHz. TEST SAMPLE / TEST PROGRAM 15.203ANTENNA REQUIREMENT The device uses a permanently attached loop antenna. The antenna is totally enclosed inside the case. No access to internal components by user. 15.205RESTRICTED BANDS OF OPERATION No emissions from the EUT were observed in any of the restricted bands. 15.207CONDUCTED EMISSIONS Limit of 250uV. No emissions were observed in the excess of the limit. 15.209RADIATED EMISSIONS Fundamental Operation Band 13.553 - 13.567MHz Out of Band, Spurious, Harmonics 9kHz - 30MHz Intentional Radiator 30MHz - 1000MHz Digital Device No emissions were observed in excess of the limit with the EUT in the configuration which during preliminary evaluation produced the worst case emission levels. The EUT was evaluated, operating as indicated. 1.Power from internal battery pack. 2.Internal battery pack charging with AC adaptor connected. 3.Orientation to each of the three axis during both power configurations. 4.The final test configuration was with the EUT on the test stand with the screen facing up and the flat end of the device facing the test antenna. Test Report No. R-3676N1 FCC ID: L7BNOVAS-120 REPORT OF MEASUREMENTS CALCULATIONS NEEDED DURING TEST PROGRAM: 1.Extrapolation of 3 meter reading to 30 meter 15.31 (F2) factor of 40dB/ Decade for frequencies below 30MHz 2.Conversion of dBuV/ m to uV/ m and uV/ m to dBuV/ m 20 log uV = dBuVuV = dBuV/ 20 X 1/log 3.Combining Readings and Factors Basic math with special attention to designations SAMPLE CALCULATION: Extrapolate: 3meter reading to 30 meter limit 3 - 30 one decade = factor 40dB Total = 40db factor 3m reading + distance & site factors = corrected reading @ 30m SPECTRUM ANALYZER Due to the nature of the emissions being measured, care was taken to ensure that the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was adequate to provide accurate measurements. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The 13.56MHz Portable RF ID Read/Write Terminal was tested at Retlif Testing Laboratories, NH. The test results shown on the enclosed data, and the body of information in this application indicate the full compliance of the EUT to the specified requirements.
