Installation and Operation Instructions Wireless IR Field Disturbance Sensor Model FDEZIO 2 Description: The IR field disturbance sensor counts directional disturbances in its IR field and transmits packets which contain information pertaining to these counts. It is installed in locations where object counting is desired. Service Switch: Briefly pass a magnet over the service reed to activate the module. . Packet Structure: “DirectionCtr” (65/64) IDSSSSSSSSaaaaaabbbbbbCCCCKK<CR> Note: All fields are in ASCII Hex “ID” The device type field: Directional Counter has device type 65 hex. A 64 hex when in service mode. “SSSSSSSS” The MS-30 bits of these 4-bytes are the serial number of the Directional Counter. The LS-2 bits are the status flags.The meaning of the status flags are: Bit 1 Bit 0 State 00Blocked 01Okay 10Line power alarm 11Battery Alarm “aaaaaa” This 24-bit field is the direction “A” counter stored LS-byte first. Count s in Direction “A”. “bbbbbb” This 24-bit field is the direction “B” counter stored LS-byte first. Count s in Direction “B”. “CCCC” This field is the CRC-16 error check as was originally received and checked. This CRC is over the first 11 bytes of the packet starting with the device type and ending with but not including CRC-16. “KK” This field is the mod 256 sum of all the binary data values as represented by the ASCII hex values in the response but does not include the <CR>.

Q: The cursors on the supplied 10sec separation plot may or may not be at the exact same points of the pulses (i.e from start of one to the start of next pulse or from end-to-end). How was this ensured during the measurement? At least 10sec of separation must be precisely demonstrated. A: The 10 second transmission period is a worse case boundary condition, the actual periods are always bigger. The cursors on the supplied plot were forced to 10 seconds by controlling or turning off all the variable contributions to the calculated period for the purposes of demonstrating the worse case boundary condition. I have stated that these are indeed the worse case conditions, actually having them occur in the lab without forcing them is not possible. The plots are an accurate representation of the worse case.

FCC ID: M5ZFDEZIO Operational description of the 418 mHz. battery operated IR field disturbance sensor. Description of the circuit functions, ground system and antenna of the IR Field Disturbance Wireless transmitter The Point Six IR field disturbance Wireless transmitter model FDEZIO is a lithium battery operated, microprocessor based, 418 MHz. transmitters that transmits vibration or motion data and a unique 30-bit serial number. The microprocessor is brought up from a power down state every 1/60 second by an internal timer in the microprocessor. The processor calculates a random number that is added to a base number resulting in a period that is always greater than 10 seconds and less than 17 seconds. When this time has expired the microprocessor gathers data from the IR counters. The microprocessor converts this information to digital data and then combines the data and with the serial number data from an onboard stored unique serial number and then transmits the entire data packet serially with a Linx Technologies TXM-418-LC-R 418 MHz. Transmitter module. The microprocessor then powers down into a quiescent state to wait for the next interrupt from the on board timer. The PC board bottom layer is a ground plane and the antenna is a 1/4-wave loop that has been etched in PC board material and placed into the ABS enclosures cover.

Based on our experiences testing previous FCC Part 15.231(e) products, we put a calibrated 20dB attenuator right after the bi-con antenna to prevent signal compression in the preamp/receiver chain. for measurements from 30-1000MHz. We added its loss (20.194dB at 418MHz, 20.15dB at 836MHz) to the field strengths measured by the receiver in this band. We used a different antenna and preamp for measurements above 1GHz. The FCC Part 15.231(e) limits above 1GHz are lower than the FCC Class A limits above 1GHz, thus any linearity concerns had been addressed during equipment calibration. Due to software limitations, we had to measure PK+, QP, and AVE for 418MHz and its harmonics in manual mode, as follows: 1. With the equipment-under-test (EUT) upright, measure 418MHz and 836MHz in QP mode with the bi-con antenna vertical and horizontal (Lexmark’s EMC software records the azimuth and antenna elevation for the highest QP emissions). 2. Repeat step 1 with the EUT on its back. 3. Repeat step 1 with the EUT on its side. 4. Study the plots to determine which orientation of the EUT had the highest emissions in QP mode. 5. Return the EUT to this position. With the bi-con antenna…

To Whom It May Concern: The Point Six FDEZIO IR field disturbance sensor transmits a 15-16 millisecond packet with a maximum total ON-time in any 100ms interval of 8ms. The smallest period between transmissions is 10 seconds, shown below. The packet consists of transmitter-on/transmitter-off timing that represents the serial number and data. The duty cycle is approximately 50%. The packet time can vary with serial number between 14-16 milliseconds. The Point Six wireless IR field disturbance sensor model FDEZIO has a maximum total ON-time in any 100ms interval of 8ms. The packet data is controlled by a microprocessor whose timing is based on a ceramic resonator that is very stable. The packet below (figure #2) illustrates a typical data packet, the worst case, 16 milliseconds, cannot be shown because serial number would have to be forced to make this so. Figure #1 illustrates the overall timing; a packet is sent each 10 seconds in this worst case. The battery used during the tests was new and was a standard 3.6 Volt Lithium cell. The battery is a 3.6 Volt Lithium chemistry, which has a flat discharge curve from new to about 90% used. In this application the battery requires about 3 years to discharge to the point that it cannot be used. The battery was used for no other purpose and had operated in the test unit for only a short time when the test was performed. The push button function does not alter the nature of the transmitted packet. The push button causes the next packet to be transmitted to have a different numerical data value when decoded then would otherwise be the case, indicating that the unit was being serviced.
