Marconi Commerce Systems is requesting Limited (see question 4) Modular Approval for FCC ID. N6SMRIR4. The following provides responses to the 8 questions that a specified in PART 15 UNLICENSED MODULAR TRANSMITTER APPROVAL (DA 00-1407Released: June 26, 2000). In order to obtain a modular transmitter approval, a cover letter requesting modular approval must be submitted and the numbered requirements identified below must be addressed in the application for equipment authorization. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non- compliant operation. The sheet metal hardware of the “card cage” illustrated in Marconi P/N T20606 G2 was designed for mechanical protection and physical assembly. The UHF Receiver (part of Marconi P/N Q13563 04) has three metal cans (one overall and two internal) to reduce EMI effects of 903 MHz receiver circuitry. The two 134 kHz RF modules mounted on the LF transmitter module (Marconi P/N Q13579 01) has “L-shaped” metal guards protecting the circuitry. The metal guard is used as a heat sink and to provide mechanical protection. The Regulator Board (Marconi P/N T20314 G1) has its own shield to reduce EMI effects of the power supply circuitry and to provide mechanical protection. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The modular transmitter has three data lines (two internal and one external) in the system. Two RS-232 internal lines connect the DCB (Marconi P/N Q13563 02) to each bezel board (includes the Texas Instruments microreader). These lines pass transponder serial numbers and on/off commands of the recognition light. There are no commands from the DCB that can change performance and RFID functionality of the microreader. One RS-485 line connects each transmitter module to the Gateway Board of the fuel dispenser. It passes transponder serial number and authentication code to the Gateway Board for communication to the point-of-sale (POS) system for credit verification. Once the credit is verified, the POS system instructs the transmitter module to keep the recognition light on or to shut it off. 2 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. The T20606 G2 card cage assembly includes a power supply which provides power to all components of the modular transmitter system. It down converts 120 VAC to 24 VAC using a Class II step-down energy limited transformer (Marconi P/N R20719 G1). The 24 VAC is rectified and buck converted to +22.5 VDC and +5 VDC via a switching power supply (Marconi P/N T20314 G1). 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. This device does not meet the unique connector requirements identified in Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). However, this system was designed and will be marketed for commercial use only. Only professionals will install the device. It will never be sold or used in residential applications. In the commercial environments such as retail fueling, technicians have to be trained and licensed to install and service both electrical and mechanical hardware. Therefore, the device should be considered for a “limited modular approval.” 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). As the photographs and report indicates, the device was tested in a stand-alone configuration and not inside another device. It does not contain any ferrites that will not be marketed with the module. The device was tested with cables of a length typical of actual use that are greater than 10 centimeters long The device (the Gateway Board, P/N T20128) that was connected to the interface port of the modular transmitter was unmodified and is commercially available.) 3 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must…

Page 1 of 5 1.0 Functional Description 1.0 Product Description Marconi Commerce Systems Inc.'s product (for which this submittal is being filed) allows customers wishing to purchase products to interface directly with a Point-Of-Sale (POS) via handheld tag or a vehicle mounted transponder. The product is called TRIND ™TIRIS™ (TRIND: Transmitter/Receiver In Dispenser; TIRIS: Texas Instruments Registration and Identification System). The system is designed for retail sales and the fuel dispensing environment. The TRIND™TIRIS™ system has two antennas when operated in the 'hand-held' only mode (one for each side) and six antennas when operated in the 'hand-held'/'vehicle-mount' mode (three for each side). The 'hand-held' tags and 'vehicle-mounted' transponders each contain a unique and secure ID code so each customer can be identified by their individually registered tag or transponder. The low frequency antennas of the system create magnetic charge-up fields, known as "read-zones". As soon as a tag/transponder enters the "read-zone" (the magnetic charge-up field created by the antenna) the reader receives the unique ID code. Essentially, Marconi Commerce Systems Inc. is providing the packaging, power, indicators, and antennas for the three boards supplied by Texas Instruments Inc. (Data Control Board, Low Frequency Transmitter Module and the Micro-Reader) – see Figure 1: TRIND ™TIRIS™ RFID Functional Block Diagram. The TRIND™ TIRIS™ (Part # C00011-XXX) is a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) which is designed for use in conjunction with both battery powered vehicle transponders (Texas Instruments Part # 9795101, FCC ID: A92VEHICLE) and handheld battery-less transponders (Texas Instruments Part # RI-TRP-Series key ring tag). The vehicle transponder is on a vehicle , and the handheld transponder is carried by the user. The transmitter portions of the TRIND™ TIRIS™ 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 TRIND™ TIRIS™ is subject to FCC Part 15, Subpart B, "Unintentional Radiator", paragraph 15.109, under the Class A limits and as such, the TRIND™ TIRIS™ is incorporated into an application that is subject to Class A limits. 1.2 System Details The TRIND™ TIRIS™ System is mounted into an enclosure such as, but not limited to, a fueling dispenser. The system includes two overhead 134.2kHz low 'Q' transmit antennas with tuning boards, a low frequency (LF) transmitter module, a data control board (DCB) with a 902.858Mhz UHF receiver module, two 902.858Mhz UHF receive antennas, two 134.2kHz low 'Q' printed circuit board antennas, two Light/Micro-Reader Boards (T20601-GX and M01218A00X where X indicates the LED colors), and a switched DC Power Supply. These components are listed in Table 1.1, and the functional relationship is provided in Figure 1: TRIND™TIRIS™ RFID Functional Block Diagram. The 134.2 kHz transmit signal originates on the LF Transmitter board and from the Micro-Reader located on the Light/Micro-Reader Board and travels via their respective cables to their respective antennas where it is intentionally radiated. Circuit Board Descriptions • The RFID Power Regulating Circuit Board (T20314-G1) provides • switched +22VDC, +5VDC, and ground to the DCB, LF transmitter module, and the Light/Micro- Reader Boards • +5VDC and ground to the TRIND™ Gateway circuit board. • The RFID Light/Micro-Reader Circuit Board Assembly (T20601-GX and M01218A00X where X indicates the LED colors) has digital interface and RS-232 conversion circuitry, an eight-bit microcontroller (Philips 87C750) with an embedded program to interact with the Micro-Reader. It also has current-limited light-emitting diode (LED) light circuits which are the customer indicators when using the system with a transponder or key tag. • The Micro-Reader, (Texas Instruments part number RI-STU-MRD1), is soldered on the Light/Micro- Reader Circuit Board Assembly. It has a serial communications interface (SCI), which supports RS- 232 protocol communication and TTL data communication. It provides radio frequency (RF) 134.2 kHz control functions to read and program TIRIS™ transponders and works together with a 47 μ H, low 'Q' antenna; therefore, the system does not need tuning. • The T20524-G1 antenna is a 47 μ H, low ' Q' (10-20) antenna that wor k with the Micr o-Reader . It is energized by the Micro-Reader at 132kHz to generate the exciter frequency of 134.2kHz. Because of the low 'Q', it does not need to be tuned any further in this application. • The Q13563-02 (Texas Instruments Part Number 9795108-0003 or 9795108-0004) and Q13563-04 (Texas Instruments Part Number RI-STU-DUSA-00) Data Control are the heart of the TRIND™TIRIS™ reader system. The DCB interfaces with the Micro-Readers mounted on the Light/Microreader Boards (RS-232), the LF transmitter module (TTL - transistor-transistor-logic), and the TRIND™ Gateway Board (RS-485). It contains a microprocessor system that is used to poll vehicle transponders and perform system control. • The UHF Receiver (Texas Instruments Part Number RI-RFM-HRUA/HREA) is an integral part of the DCB and is connected to the DCB directly. It is the uplink receiver for the vehicle transponder, acquiring the signals from the transponder on the 902 MHz carrier. After acquisition, the receiver down converts and demodulates the binary FM signal from the vehicle transponder. It then passes this information on to the DCB for verification. • The Q13579-01 LF Transmitter module (Texas Instruments part number RI-MOD-048A) is the source of the intentional radiation from the overhead loop antennas. It is used with the LF tuning circuit that this made up of the tuning board and single loop antenna to write data to a TIRIS transponder. It is comprised of a carrier board (RI-MOD-038A) onto which two transmit only RFMs (RI-RFM-028A) are mounted. The RFM together with the tuning circuit, generates the …

Page 1 of 6 Functional Description 1.0 Overview of Product Operation Briefly, there are two basic modes of operation depending on whether the fuel customer has his transponder in his hand or mounted to his car: 1) “handheld” and 2) “vehicle-mount”. TI series 5000 electronics handle the internal generation and communication of signal/data while Marconi Commerce Systems antennas transmit and receive the radiated signal/data in both cases. A transponder that is within range will communicate the customer’s ID data back to the system. Another common feature of the two modes is that once the customer’s ID information is received and interpreted by the TI series 5000 electronics, the Marconi designed “Gateway” board communicates with the rest of the fuel dispenser to authorize and bill the fuel sale. • Referring to the block diagram below, for the handheld transponder application, the TI series 5000 electronics (Micro-Reader Q13551 and Data Control Board Q13563-02 or –04) periodically produce commands or signals that are transmitted by Marconi’s “Advantage” dispenser antenna (T20524) or the “Encore” dispenser antenna (part of the Light Board Assembly). This antenna is typically mounted inside the fuel dispenser at about the customer’s arm level. A transponder when presented by the customer will communicate the customer’s ID data back to the Micro-Reader/Data Control Board via the “Advantage” or “Encore” antenna (note same antenna is used to transmit and receive). The data is then communicated to the “Gateway” board. • For the case of the “vehicle-mount” transponder, the TI series 5000 electronics (LF Transmitter Module Q13579 and Data Control Board Q13563) periodically produce commands or signals. Because there is a need for a larger range, these signals are generated by a TI series 5000 LF Transmitter Module Q13579. The L F Transmit Antenna W03889 (Marconi designed) then transmits these signals. This transmit antenna is mounted at a high location (typically on top of the fuel dispenser). A vehicle mounted transponder that is within range will communicate the customer’s ID data back via another antenna (UHF Receive Antenna Q13851: Marconi Design), also mounted at a high location. This received signal is then routed to a TI series 5000 UHF Receiver Module (RI-RFM-HREA). The UHF receiver module then communicates the data to the Data Control Board. The data is then communicated to the “Gateway” board. While these descriptions reference fuel dispenser applications, it should be clear that use of such equipment is not limited to only fuel dispensers.
