In addition, the installer must be familiar with the information in the following documents: Required Tools The following equipment is needed to install all Mat Reader kits: •drill motor and bits •needle nose pliers •screwdriver, Phillips ® head •Zircon ® stud/bracket finder Coaxial Cable and SMA Connector Handling Requirements Coaxial antenna cables are more flexible and have a smaller diameter than more familiar coaxial cable, such as that used for cable television. However, all coaxial cables share this characteristic: turns or bends in coaxial cables must be gradual loops, no sharper than a 1-inch radius or 2-inch diameter (2.54 centimeter radius or 5 centimeter diameter). An SMA connector is a type of connector that uses a threaded mount and connects one optical fiber. Due to its small size, use care when connecting the coaxial cable to as to not damage the SMA connector on the Interface Box or the coaxial cable.

M01814A001 Interface Box M01868A003 Label 50.0 mm X152.4mm Gilbarco Inc. Mat Reader label contents and location

Functional Description 1.0 Overview of Product Operation The use of the Mat Reader device may be illustrated through an example application. A customer enters a Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) and places an order. Typically, the customer would present a handheld transponder to the Mat Reader that would be on the counter top. The 134 kHz signal from the Reader “illuminates” the transponder. The transponder then transmits the Customer’s ID. The Reader subsequently passes the Customer ID to a Point of Sale Controller via an RS232 port where the customer billing takes place. The 134 kHz signal originates in the MicroReader (Texas Instruments part number RI-STU-MRD1), which is on the M01803 Assembly. Subsequently, this signal travels over the antenna cable (M01872B002) to the antenna (M02497), where it is radiated. The customer transponder replies on the upper and lower sidebands of 134 kHz with the customer ID once the Reader energizes it. The same antenna that transmitted the reader signal receives the transponder reply. The transponder’s reply signal is routed from the antenna to the MicroReader (RI-STU-MRD1) and then to the M01803 Assembly where the signal is interpreted to determine the customer ID. The customer ID is then relayed via RS232 to a Point o f Sale Controller for customer billing. Page 1 of 4 Product Description Gilbarco Inc.'s product (for which this submittal is being filed) allows customers wishing to purchase products to interface directly with a Point-Of-Sale via a handheld transponder. The product is called the Low Frequency (LF) Mat Reader System. The LF Mat Reader transmits at 134.2kHz, which provides energy to the handheld tag. The handheld tags contain a unique and secure ID code so each customer can be identified by their individually registered tag. The low frequency antennas of the system create magnetic charge-up fields, known as "read-zones". As soon as a tag enters the "read-zone" (the magnetic charge-up field created by the antenna) the reader receives the unique ID code. The Gilbarco Inc. LF Mat Reader System (Part # C00016-XXX) is a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) which is designed for use in conjunction with handheld battery-less transponders (Texas Instruments Part # RI-TRP-Series). The user carries the handheld transponder. The transmitter portion of the LF Mat Reader operates at 134.2kHz and is subject to FCC Part 15, Subpart C, "Intentional Radiator"; paragraphs 15.207 and 15.209. The digital electronics portion of the LF Mat Reader is subject to FCC Part 15, Subpart B, "Unintentional Radiator", paragraph 15.109, under the Class A limits and as such, the LF Mat Reader is incorporated into an application that is subject to Class A limits. Tested System Details The Gilbarco Inc. Low Frequency (LF) Mat Reader System is mounted into an application such as a POS terminal counter or other similar retail/industrial applications. The system includes one Mat Reader Interface Board (M01803), one mat reader assembly (MR01003GXXX), which includes one 134.2kHz low 'Q' printed circuit board antenna (M02497A001), a 2700Hz, 90dB beeper and one LCD shutter. The system also includes a 120 VAC to +12VDC LPS Wall Mounted Transformer for input power. These components are listed in Table 1.1, and the functional relationship is provided in Figure 1: Gilbarco Inc. LF Mat Reader Functional Block Diagram. The 134.2 kHz transmit signal originates on the MicroReader located on the LF Mat Reader Interface Board and travels via the M01872A002 cable to the antenna where it is intentionally radiated. These components are assembled per the drawings in the TIRIS Mat Reader Electrical Schematics file. The Gilbarco Inc. Low Frequency Mat Reader System operates from 120VAC converted to +12VDC using a step-down transformer. The +12VDC is then converted to +26VDC and +5VDC by means of switching power supply circuits located on the LF Mat Reader Interface Board. The system functional block diagram is located at the end of this file. Page 2 of 4 Circuit Board Descriptions • The Low Frequency Mat Reader Interface Board Assembly (M01803A001) has digital interface and RS-232 conversion circuitry, a +12VDC to +26VDC boost switcher, a +12VDC to +5VDC buck switcher, beeper control and LCD drive circuitry. The Gateway interface portion of this board manages RFID processing and provides simple, generic event messages to the POS electronics via RS-232. The MicroReader is also located on this board and is the origination point of the intentionally radiated 134.2kHz LF signal. This board also has a 19.66MHz oscillator, which is used by the microprocessor. • The MicroReader, (Texas Instruments part number RI-STU-MRD1), is soldered on the Mat Reader Interface Board Assembly. It has a serial communications interface (SCI), which supports RS-232 protocol communication and TTL data communication. It provides radio frequency (RF) 134 kHz control functions to read and program TIRIS™ transponders. • The Gilbarco Inc. Mat Reader (M02497A001) antenna is a 47 μ H, low 'Q' (10-20) antenna that works with the MicroReader. It is energized by the MicroReader at 132kHz to generate the exciter frequency of 134.2kHz. Because of its’ low 'Q', it does not need to be tuned any further in this application. Table 1. 1 TESTED SYSTEM COMPONENTS Component DescriptionGilbarco Inc.

Washington, D.C. 20554 To Whom It May Concern: Since recently questions regarding operation in restricted bands have received a great deal of scrutiny, this to specifically point out claims that the N6SGBIR13 device does not violate restricted bands. The measurement report specifically states that the 90-110 kHz restricted band was investigated “Scans were performed starting at 110 kHz to verify that neither the fundamental emission, nor any harmonic emission was in the 90-110 kHz restricted band.” This confirmed that the fundamental 134 kHz is not in the restricted band 90-110 kHz. Regarding the tag emissions, they are very small. The tag emissions are included in the measurements made in the restricted band 90-110 kHz as referenced in the paragraph above because a tag is needed to fully exercise the N6SGBIR13 device. For added assurance that the main lobes of the tag signals do not enter the restricted band, the tag data frequencies and their corresponding pulse widths are provided below.
