FCC ID: M5ZIRPROX2 Operational description of the IR Proximity Counter, Model Point Sensor IRProx2 Description of the circuit functions, ground system and antenna of the Point Six, IRProx2 Wireless transmitter The Point Six proximity IR Counter transmitter is a lithium battery operated, microprocessor based, 418 MHz. transmitter that transmits IR beam, open- state counter and total beam open time counters and a unique 30-bit serial number. The microprocessor is brought up from a power down state every 1/16 second by a 32768 Hz, oscillator connected to ripple carry counter divider to produce a wakeup period of 1/16 second. The microprocessor looks for IR pulses from an IR sensor connected to an input of the microprocessor, and determines the beam open/closed status from these pulses. The microprocessor counts the beam interrupt cycles and then combines the counts and IR sensor status 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 oscillator divider. 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.

For measurements under 1,000MHz we used a 20dB attenuator at the antenna to prevent signal compression. At the highest orientation/ azimuth/height based on quasipeak measurements, we measured peak, quasipeak, and average values with 0dB, 10dB, 20dB, and 30dB attenuators. The differences between the 20dB and the 30dB-attenuation values were approximately 10dB, showing that 20dB attenuation was enough. Average and peak measurements below 1,000MHz were made with the receiver in manual mode with a 100ms sample time, watching the display to catch the highest value. Because we could only catch the top two digits, we added 0.99dB to the measured value to be conservative. Test Results: Tables 1 and 2, and the Transmitted Bandwidth Data show that this unit meets the radiated interference requirements of FCC Part 15 for an intentional radiator licensed to operate at 418MHz under Section 15.231(e). . Under Section 15.231(e), the average limit for the fundamental is calculated by linear interpolation from 1500uV/m at 260MHz, to 5000uV/m at 470MHz when measured at 3m. Averag…

To Whom It May Concern: The Point Six wireless IR proximity sensor (model Point Sensor IRProx2) transmits a 15-16 millisecond packet once each 600-10 seconds. This is identical to the data packet timing of a previously certified “M5ZWOW”. The packet consists of transmitter-on/transmitter-off timing that represents the serial number and vibration data. The duty cycle is approximately 50%. The packet time can vary with serial number between 14- 16 milliseconds. 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.
