Nemko USA, Inc. FCC PART 15, SUBPART C PERIODICALLY OPERATED LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS EQUIPMENT: DOT-433 TEST REPORT NO.: 33837RUS1 Page 5 of 17 Section 2. Equipment Under Test (E.U.T.) General Equipment Information Frequency Range: 433.92 MHz Operating Frequency(ies) of Sample: 433.92 MHz Type of Emission: GFSK, OOK Supply Power Requirement: 3 Vdc Duty Cycle Correction Factor: -15.1 dB Description of E.U.T. The NuDOT is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag that is used for tracking items including but not limited to personnel, vehicles, assets and other products. The RFID tag can be awakened by a transmitter operating at 126KHz or 433MHz or can wake up and beacon at 433MHz at a factory settable rate; but no less than 10 second intervals. Normal operation of the tag is to be awakened by a localized 126KHz OOK signal which provides an identifier to the tag. The tag then adds this information to its own ID along with any sensor data it might have collected prior to transmitting a 433MHz signal back to a local receiver. The mode in which the NuDOT operates is set at the factory. Power is lowered in beacon mode to ensure compliance with the lower radiated emissions limits specified in the rules 15.231(e). The user cannot change the tag operating mode from that set at the factory. Nemko USA, Inc.

Transmission Requirements NAME OF TEST: Transmission Requirements PARA. NO.: 15.231(a) TESTED BY: David Light DATE: 19 November 2009 Minimum Standard: 15.231(a) Continuous transmissions such as voice, video or data transmissions are not permitted. 15.231(a)(1) A manually operated transmitter shall employ a switch that will automatically deactivate the transmitter within not more than 5 seconds after being released. 15.231(a)(2) A transmitter activated automatically shall cease transmission within 5 seconds of activation. 15.231(a)(3) Periodic transmissions at regular pre- determined intervals are not permitted. However polling or supervisory transmissions to determine system integrity of transmitters used in security or safety applications are allowed if the periodic rate of transmission does not exceed one transmission of not more than one second duration per hour for each transmitter. 15.231(a)(4) Intentional radiators which are employed for radio control purposes during emergencies involving fire, security, and safety of life, when activated to signal an alarm, may operate during the pendency of the alarm. Test Results: Complies. Test Data: Compliance was determined by verification of technical specifications and a functional test on the equipment. Rationale for Compliance with Transmission Requirements Manual activation 15.231(a)(1) 15.231(a)(2) : Automatic activation TX deactivation time: 200 msec. Regular, predetermined transmissions 15.231(a)(3) : Polling or supervisory transmissions TX rate and duration: 35 msec. in 10.9 sec.
