Operating Instructions 1 31083A RF DATA COLLECTOR MODEL 22240 FCC ID #OBH22240 PLEASE SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS For correct operation of the equipment, it is important to read and be familiar with this entire manual before installing and operating the charger. DO NOT DISCARD THIS MANUAL AFTER READING. LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL TO POINT OUT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IT MEANS: BECOME ALERT—YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN OCCUR. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Tools needed to install RF Data Collector Model 22240: 11/32" nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, Anderson Connector-Terminal Cable extractor CAUTION: USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES; THEY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. INDUSTRIAL BATTERIES CONTAIN ACID (ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION) WHICH CAN CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS AND SERIOUS HARM TO SKIN AND EYES. ALWAYS WEAR APPROVED PROTECTIVE EYE GOGGLES AND RUBBER GLOVES. AVOID PROLONGED BREATHING OF BATTERY VAPORS; WORK IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. BATTERY VAPORS CAN BE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT REST TOOLS ON TOP OF BATTERY OR ALLOW ANY METAL OBJECTS TO COME IN CONTACT WITH BATTERY POSTS OR INTER-CELL CONNECTORS. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1. Examine the cables between the battery and DC plug. With caution, use the Anderson Terminal- Cable extractor to remove only the positive (RED) battery cable contact from the battery DC plug housing. 2. From the RF Data Collector case assembly, remove the bottom half of the case and the plastic cord clamping device. 3. Carefully slide the positive (RED) cable contact through the BLUE ring toroid, located in the top half of case, with the ring "end" of the Data Collector facing the battery. Reposition the RED cable contact inside the battery DC plug housing. Locate the RF Data Collector case top (with LED facing up) close to the DC plug housing and outside of all metal enclosures. 4. Lay the negative (BLACK) battery cable in the area provided next to the positive (RED) cable. 5. Position the plastic battery cable clamp over both of the wires so that the clamp slides easily over the studs located in the RF Data Collector. Verify that the arrows on top of the clamp point toward the BLUE ring/battery end of the cables. 6. Using hand pressure only, carefully exert downward force on the plastic battery cable clamp until enough of the studs protrude through the clamp to allow starting the hex nuts. Operating Instructions 2 31083A 7. Tighten the hex nuts evenly. Never exceed 30 pound-inches of torque on the nuts. Failure to tighten the nuts evenly or overtightening can cause loss of electrical connection, part breakage, or cable damage. 8. Assemble the bottom cover to the unit. 9. Insert the four cover screws in the holes provided. Do not overtighten. OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS – RF Data Collector Model 22240 10. The LED located on top of the RF Data Collector should be blinking from RED to GREEN rapidly, indicating a proper installation. If the LED does not blink, verify the polarity of connections to determine the cause. 11. During normal operation of the battery, the LED on the RF Data Collector will blink RED, indicating a run or discharge condition. The LED will blink GREEN while the battery is being charged. There are no user serviceable parts in the Universal Transceiver or Base Station PC. Any attempt to access or repair any internal components will void the manufacturer's warranty.

DATA COLLECTION MODULE Professional Testing (EMI), Inc. FCC ID: OBH 22240 Page 2 of 2 The Data Collection Module operates under Part 15 and is classified as a “Mobile Device” by the guidance given in 47 CFR 2.1091 and OET Bulletin 65, which states: “Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer and transportable cellular telephones (“bag” phones), are considered to be mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement.” The Data Collection Module meets this description including the requirement that it be used more than 20 centimeters from the user. “...are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure use if they operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more,...” The Data Collection Module has a typical output power of 0 dBm or 1 mW. The peak, measured power in the fundamental was 90.1 dB (uV/m). Using the formula: P = .3 V 2 The measured power is 0.307 mW in the fundamental. An earlier reading of the fundamental, made without a preamplifier measured a result of 93 dB (uV/m), which yields a result of 0.60 mW. This measurement is considered less accurate than the value reported in the test report. However, it is reported here as it give a worst case measurement for this purpose. However, both measurements are clearly well below the requirement. Therefore, a routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure is not required.

Professional Testing (EMI), Inc. FCC ID: OBH 22240 Page 3 of 12 1. EUT Description The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the Lester Electrical, Inc., Data Collection Module. The Data Collection Module is used together with a Universal Transceiver Module attached to a base station and Temperature Sensor Units for gathering battery performance and vehicle utilization data. The EUT operates in the 902 - 928 MHz band and is designed for compliance with 47 CFR 15.249 of the FCC rules. The data collection Module consists of a DC to DC converter power supply, microprocessor and RF transceiver constructed entirely of surface mount components attached to a 2.4" X 2.4" PC board. It is a battery-powered device that gathers battery performance data from the battery to which it is attached. The device operates at a frequency of 916.5 MHz and employs on-off keying as the modulation method. It has a typical output power of 0 dBm and a maximum power of 5 dBm. Data is Manchester encoded and transmitted at an approximate rate of 12Khz. The device operates autonomously and transmits a 200 millisecond burst of data once every 5 to 8 minutes. Specific test requirements for this device include the following: 47 CFR 15.249 Fundamental Transmit Power 47 CFR 15.249 Spurious Radiated Power & 15.205 47 CFR 15.249 Occupied Bandwidth 15.231 & 2.989 (2.989 used as Procedural Reference) 47 CFR 15.203 Antenna Requirement The system tested consisted of the following: Manufacturer & Model FCC ID # Description Lester Electrical, Inc. OBH22240 Data Collection Module 1.1. EUT Operation The Data Collection Module was tested with the wireless link active and fully modulated. Setup and operational modes cover worst case configuration and operational modes for the device. 2. Radiated Emissions Testing Professional Testing (EMI), Inc. (PTI), follows the guidelines of NIST for all uncertainty calculations, estimates and expressions thereof for EMC testing. Professional Testing (EMI), Inc. FCC ID: OBH 22240 Page 4 of 12 Radiated emission measurements were made of the Fundamental and Spurious Emission levels for the Data Collection Module. Measurements of the occupied bandwidth were also made for the equipment. Measurements of the maximum emission levels for the fundamental and the spurious/harmonic emissions of the Data Collection Module were made at the Professional Testing "Open Field" Site 3, located in Round Rock, Texas to determine the radio noise radiated from the EUT. A “Description of Measurement Facilities” has been submitted to the FCC and approved pursuant to Section 2.948 of CFR 47 of the FCC rules. Tests of the fundamental for the device were performed to determine the worst case polarization of the devices. The fundamental emissions of the device were measured with the antennas of the devices vertical and horizontal to the ground plane. 2.1. Test Procedure The EUT was placed on a non-conductive table 0.8 meters above the ground plane. The table was centered on a motorized turntable which allows 360 degree rotation. For measurements of the fundamental signal, a measurement antenna was positioned at a dista…
