ORION rf link Instruction Sheet PLEASE READ BEFORE OPERATING INTRODUCTION The Orion rf link transmission device allows information to be sent from your Orion instrument to a printer or personal computer for datalogging purposes, without the use of printer cables. rf link has a maximum transmission range of approximately 25 feet, but may be minimized depending on the number of objects surrounding the area. For optimal results keep both the Transmit module and Receive module free and clear of solid, metal objects to reduce the likelihood of signal impedance. WHAT’S INSIDE?

Ven DATE:January 20, 1999 JOB #:J99000641A RE:Emissions Testing Performed On The RF Link Data Transfer Transmitter, Model: TX232 On January 19 and January 20, 1999 we tested the TX232 to determine if it was in compliance with the FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section '15.249. A production version of the sample was received on January 19, 1999 in good condition. We found that the unit met the requirements when tested as received. The fundamental output power and harmonic emission limits are outlined in paragraph (a) of this section. The fundamental field strength allowed at a distance of 3 meters was 50,000 μV/m. Harmonic emission at frequencies outside of the forbidden bands of the FCC Part 15, Subpart C '15.205 must be lower than the limit of 500 μV/m. Spurious Scan (30-1000 MHz) Digital Circuit Portion Radiated emissions showed the system to be 3.7 dB below the FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section '15.209 emissions at 191.7 MHz. All other emissions were at least 3.8 dB below the applicable limits AC mains line-conducted emissions testing was not performed as the unit is battery powered. INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES NA INC. TO:Orion Research Inc. Mr. Joe Cheng FROM:Vathana F. Ven DATE:January 20, 1999 JOB #:J99000641A RE:Emissions Testing Performed On The RF Link Data Transfer Transmitter, Model: TX232 Fundamental Scan (916.5 MHz) Transmitter Circuit Portion The maximum level of the fundamental signal at 916.5 MHz was 31, 623 μV/m, which is 4 dB below the FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section '15.249 requirement. Spurious and Harmonic Scan (916.5-9165 MHz) Radiated emissions limits showed the system to be 6 dB below the FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section '15.249 and '15.209 emission requirement at 3666.0 MHz. All other emissions were at least 7 dB below the applicable limits. Summary In summary, this report confirms that the TX232 is compliant with the FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section '15.249 requirements when production units conform with the initial sample.

September 1, 1992 (PT15C.IR) Introduction The following is a description of the test procedure used by Intertek Testing Services in the measurements of transmitters operating under Part 15, Subpart C, General Requirements. A.Test Set-Up: The test set-up and procedures described below are designed to meet the requirements of ANSI C63.4 (1992). 1.The test site is plastic and fiber glass with a groundplane. The site has attenuation characteristics which meet the requirements of ANSI C63.4 (1992). Information on the site has been filed with the FCC as required by Rule '2.948. The address of the site is 70 Codman Hill Road, Boxborough, Massachusetts. 2.Power to the site is nominal line voltage of 117 V AC and 230 V AC , 60 Hz. 3.The equipment under test (EUT) is placed on a wooden turntable which is four feet in diameter and approximately one meter in height above the groundplane. During the radiated emissions test, the turntable is rotated and any cables leaving the EUT are manipulated to find the configuration resulting in maximum emissions. The antenna height and polarization are also varied during the search for maximum signal levels. The height of the antenna is varied from one meter to four meters. 4.Detector function for radiated emissions is in peak or quasi-peak mode. Average readings, were taken at frequencies above 1 GHz.

For measurements between 1000 MHz and 18000 MHz, where required, an Emco Double-Ridge Guide Horn Antenna was used. Alternately, for measurements above 1 GHz, an EMCO M/N 3115 Horn Antenna may have been used. 6.The field strength measuring equipment used included: Spectrum Analyzer:Hewlett Packard 8593A Preamplifiers:MITEQNSP4000-NF, CDI P-950 LISN:Solar Electronics Additional equipment or comments: Equipment is calibrated at frequent intervals.
