Technical Parameters: Band of Operation: 902.75 - 927.25 MHz Number of Channels: 50 Mode of Operation: FHSS Antenna Type/Gain: PCB Loop Antenna, 0.55 dBi Operating Voltage: 120V / 60 Hz Model Number: HD011SA002 Test Sample Serial Number(s): 854541H0736M251X Test Sample Condition: The samples were in good conditions with no observable physical damages. 1.4 Test Methodology and Considerations The HD011SA002 includes one 900 MHz radio with one RF output. The RF output is then connected to a 12 channel multiplexer, were 10 of the 12 are connected to the loop antennas while the remaining two are not used. Preliminary evaluations were performed on the 10 multiplexer ports and the data is reported for the configuration leading to the highest emissions. For the RF conducted emissions evaluation, the measurements were collected at the output of the multiplexer. The power line conducted emissions evaluations were performed with the 900 MHz radio constantly hopping. The unit was also evaluated for compliance to the unintentional emissions requirements in accordance with the Class A Limits. The results are documented separately in a Verification test report.
