Control of the roaming behavior of your household pets is a challenging goal that can also be exasperating. The Pet Patrol system is the first pet containment system on the market to provide both indoor and outdoor control for both dogs and cats. Pet Patrol also has many previously unavailable features, such as; programmability of up to twelve independent zones, outdoor out-of-bounds detection (free return in bounds, without correction), individual management of up to four pets, central control console to monitor and program functions, wireless network interconnections for ease of installation and use, attractive and comfortable styling, and many more.

All system configuration information is stored in this unit, and when necessary, individual component data is transmitted to the respective zone control or collar. The console contains a battery operated real time clock to manage programmed time functions. Recent pet activity history is maintained in electronic memory as long as power is supplied. System setup configuration data is stored in permanent memory, and will survive a power outage. Power is provided to the control console by the AC adapter provided, plugged into a nearby household outlet. Communication to and from the zone controls and collars in your system is accomplished by 900MHz-radio networking. This is a background activity that continuously monitors the status of your installed system. When a new system is installed in your neighborhood, or when you add components to your own system, the radio network will intermesh your system functions automatically. Therefore, it is important to keep your console and zone controls powered at all times after installation. They use only a tiny amount of electrical power and should even remain on when you are on vacation. If not, you may come home from vacation and find on power-up, that your system will need to be completely re- configured. Re-configuration is automatic, but may take several minutes to complete and during re-configuration, your system is not available for use. The control console provides many programmable features to simplify your duties as the one responsible for the care and feeding of your most dependant family members, your pets. A four line by forty-character display is provided to assist you in the operation of the console. There are four function keys above the display for accessing pet functions for up to four pets. The four keys are also status lighted in three colors, (red, green, and orange) to communicate pet status at a glance. Warnings of undesirable conditions use a steady red, or a flashing red button if very serious. Less serious warnings use steady or flashing orange button. A steady green button indicates normal conditions. Non-lighted buttons indicates unused pet channels. The individual pet names are indicated under each button in the display. There are also five programming function keys below the display, to assist you with your setup and operational tasks. These keys will have multiple functions depending on the operation being performed. The varied functions are labeled in the display directly above each button as the display prompted task proceeds. Display prompting is employed to guide you through the various programming tasks, such as; setting the time and date, adding, editing or deleting a pet name, programming feeding time room access, etc. An internal beeper is also employed to provide audible feedback of keystrokes and system warnings. In addition to the keypad and display system, a serial port connector is located on the rear of the case to allow connection to a personal computer for simplified and expanded operations. The RS-232 connection to a personal computer allows the use of multiple Pet Patrol systems for the management of more than four pets in a single installation. Contact Petronix for the availability of the Windows Pet Patrol Control Center software and serial cable for your personal computer. 4 Indoor Zone Control The indoor zone control is used by the Pet Patrol system to manage the access of an individual pet to household areas. These areas could be individual rooms or certain items of furniture. The zone control is mounted on a wall near the floor next to a doorway to control access to a room. Mounting under a table or couch is employed to control ac…

Page 1 of 2FCC ID# NWY-5000 FCC ID: NWY-916 & NWY-10K DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT FOR PETRONIX INDOOR ZONE CONTROL The Petronix Indoor Zone Control is one unit of a number of units comprising an electronic pet containment system. Use of the Indoor Zone Control enables a user to establish an electronic zone that can serve as boundary or area beyond which a pet is not allowed. The unit is powered by an unregulated +12VDC wall plug, ungrounded power supply. The +12VDC is regulated to +5VDC for the microprocessor and related logic. The +12VDC is also regulated to +3.3VDC for the 916.5Mhz transceiver functions. The +12VDC is utilized to supply power to the FET bridge. The microprocessor is a 16C558 with an external 16Mhz crystal. The transceiver uses an internal 916.5Mhz SAW filter as an oscillator. The Indoor Zone Control receives instructions and transmits status reports VIA OOK 916.5MHz. The Zone Control also generates a modulated 10KHz signal radiated by an internal antenna to produce a "zone" of coverage around the unit. The zone controller only responds to RF data packets that contain its ID address. In normal operation, this may as frequently as once every 4.8 seconds and as long as once every 2.5 minutes The RF data transmitted is in the form of a Manchester encoded data stream where each on/off period is 1 msec in duration. A standard data stream starts by sending four (4) Manchester encoded 1’s followed by a code violation bit. The code violation is a logic 0 of 3 msec duration followed by a logic 1 of 3 msec duration. After the code violation sequence a Manchester encoded start bit (1) is sent followed by 24 Manchester encoded data bits. Finally two (2) checksum bits are sent. Total transmission time of the data stream is 66 msec. During the remaining 84 msec of the frame, the console listens for a response from the addressed unit. The 10KHz command protocol consists of a Manchester encoded signal where each on/off period is 2 msec. The 10KHz is sent out in alternating periods of 150 msec (opposite periods of the RF frames). A standard data stream starts by sending four (4) Manchester encoded 1’s followed by a code violation bit. The code violation is a logic 0 of 7 msec duration followed by a logic 1 of 7 msec duration. After the code violation sequence a Manchester encoded start bit (1) is sent followed by 24 Manchester encoded data bits. Finally two (2) checksum bits are sent. Total transmission time of the data stream is 66 msec. Page 2 of 2FCC ID# NWY-5000 The microprocessor outputs signals to the FET driver, LED, piezo sounder and to the 916.5 Mhz transceiver. Signals to the transceiver provide the control over it's various modes of operation, transmit and receive. Other microprocessor lines allow snubbing of the 10KHz signal energy in the antenna. Output from the 916.5Mhz transceiver is fed into a matching circuit to filter out the harmonics and to match the impedance of a whip antenna mounted to the circuit board. Page 1 of 2FCC ID# NWY-6000 FCC ID: NWY-916 & NWY-10K DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT FOR PETRONIX OUTDOOR ZONE CONTROL The Petronix Outdoor Zone Control is one unit of a number of units comprising an electronic pet containment system. Use of the Outdoor Zone Control enables a user to establish one or more electronic zones that can serve as boundary beyond which a pet is not allowed.

Telecommunications Certification Body Declaration of Compliance to RF Exposure Limits for Humans The 5000 Indoor Zone Control and 6000 Outdoor Zone Control for pet containment system complies with the RF exposure limits for humans as called out in FCC Part 2 Section 2.1093. The transmitters are used to set up an electric fence. It is exempt from RF evaluation based on its operating frequency of 10 kHz, and output power of 365 microwatts based on TP = (FS x D) 2 / 30 x 1.64, (4466 uV/m x 30) 2 / 30 x 1.64. This would be less than the 200 milliwatt requirement for a portable device. Joel T Schneider TUV Product Service
