It has been verified to comply with ISED RSS-210v10/GENv5. Current Variants: There are two principle variants of the EUT, PEPS5 and PEPS6. The PEPS5 variant employs two (2) door-handle mounted antenna coils (PN: DH-ANTENNA) and three (3) vehicle chassis mounted, long range antenna coils (PN: LR-ANTENNA). The PEPS6 variant employs only five (5) of the same vehicle chassis mounted antenna coils (PN: LR-ANTENNA). The tuning employed for the door-handle coils is different than that of the chassis mounted coils, which is the only RF difference between the PEPS5 and PEPS6 variants. Minor differences in digital component populations also exist. The DH-ANTENNA has different overmolded plastic shapes for insertion into door handle assemblies however the antenna is the same. The PEPS5 variant was fully tested and emissions from the PEPS6 variant was confirmed to be the same as those measured from the PEPS5.
