American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 January 24, 2003 RE: TOHOKU ALPS CO., LTD. FCC ID: NHVWBJ443 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Please provide a higher resolution exhibit for the FCC Labeling. The FCC ID can not be easily read in the exhibit provided. 2) Page 7 of 8 of the operational description mentions 16 seconds due to manual press of the switch. It is unclear what the 16 seconds refers to. Note that the device must stop transmitting in less than 5 seconds after released (15.231(a)(1)). Please provide a better explanation of what the16 seconds refers to. Additionally, please confirm how fast the device deactivates after being released. 3) The test report shows an automatic deactivation. However it can not be determined if the pulse provided is a single packet of data or the end of transmission. Please provide an additional plot that shows the deactivation over 5 seconds or more. 4) This device appears to automatically transmit due to various commands received via 125 kHz LF. However, there is not information regarding what is transmitted by the 312 MHz TX in response to the 125 kHz signal. Please provide a detailed explanation of the data sent by the 312 MHz TX in response to the 125 kHz transmission. Is the data sent equivalent to the data sent during manual activation? Additionally, how long does the device transmit upon receiving a command? Note that the device must stop transmitting in less than 5 seconds after automatically being activated (15.231(a)(2)). 5) Please provide a better explanation of what the rolling code is. Note that since the code is not set, it could be considered data. Please provide a detailed explanation of what this is. Please note that data transmissions are subject to 15.231(e) which has particular timing requirements as well. 6) The schematics provided were unclear. It also appears that the schematic does not contain any values but only reference designators. Please note that the schematic must contain physical values. 7) The 731 form section III, 7 mentions this is part of a system that operates with another device, therefore, please fill out section 8. Timothy R. Johnson Examining Engineer mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.
Dear Tim, Thank you very much for your contact on the above application. I make a reply as follow: 1. Please see the file "Revised label". 2. As you can see on the timing chart, "16 seconds" mean that the transmission is stopped in 16 seconds maximum when Switch is kept pushing. When the user release his hand, transmission is stopped within "0.5 seconds" after he released his hand. 3. Please see the file "page 16 REVISED". Please replace the previous Page 16 with this. 4. As for the explanation for the data sent by the 312 MHz Tx in response to the 125kHz transmission, please see the file "RF response". >Is the data sent equivalent to the data sent during manual activation? --->> Basically, it's equivalent. During the button is pushed, same data is continuously transmitted. >How long does the device transmit upon receiving the command? --->> About 50mS transmission. The longest data transmission is less than 50mS. 5. Please see the last page of the file "RF response". To improve the security, the counter comprising of 20 bits is incremental by one at each LF transmission. This bit code indicates "Rolling code" The RF response format of transmission comprises preamble of 16 bits, sync of 2 bits, start bit of 1 bit, response code of 32 bits, fixed code of 35 bits and stop bit of 1 bit. Function code and disc code in the response code are not used in this application. The Rolling code" is a part of an encryption data consisting of 20 bits in the response code and increments the data by one from "00000" to "FFFFF" every transmission or reception. When the data reaches "FFFFF", it returns "00000" again. The addition of the rolling code not only improves the transmitted data with regard to security performance but also constitutes a part of the transmitted recognition code. 1> The transmission of recognition code is not prohibited in the Section 15.231(a) due to above description with regard to the RF response format. 2> Since the transmission of recognition code automatically ceases within 0.5 second after being released the activation of the transmitter in case To: "Timothy R.

Tim, Could you confirm the following answer? >The automatic deactivation in the report shows about 300 ms. Is this for >manual mode? ---->> Yes, this is manual mode. >If so, please provide a plot that shows deactivation in < 50 msec as >specified below for transmissions in response to the 125 kHz signal. ---->> Please find attached file. This is data for transmissions in response to the 125 kHz signal. RFEN is a output carrier, and the data is modulated with "FSK". In front of this data, there is about 2mS's signal. This signal is called "anti-collision" and is used for the confirmation which Hand Unit answered. <Since one control unit can register 4 hand unit max, data causes interference if they answer at the same time.> The above answer is acceptable? I hope the grant is issued with this. Thank you very much.
