Tune-up Procedure for INOVA Geophysical FSU-3 FACTORY TEST FOR THE FSU AND CRU INCLUDE PROGRAMMING A POWER LEVEL AND MAKE TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE DECODED BY THE OPPOSITE UNIT, THE POWER OUTPUT IS MEASURED WITH A SPECTRUM ANALYZER (AUTOMATED). 1. Unit is connected to FSU-3 final test fixture. 2. Software is commanded to transmit. 3. Software ramps up power until it reaches it preset limit of 39 dBm (8 watts) maximum. 4. This limit is verified by an external Spectrum Analyzer. There are no provisions for changing power levels by field personnel.

Prediction of MPE limit at a given distance Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 where:S = power density P = power input to the antenna G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal:39.4(dBm)* Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal:8709.6(mW) Antenna gain(maximum):5.2(dBi)* Maximum antenna gain:3.31(numeric) Time Averaging:100(%)* Prediction distance:120(cm)* Prediction frequency:152(MHz)* MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency:0.20(mW/cm^2) Power density at prediction frequency:0.1594 (mW/cm^2) This equates to:1.594 W/m^2 2 4R PG S  
