The AMT-2000 tags communicate with asset sensing equipment like the SDS-2000 Standard Door Sensor to track and report asset movement and alarm conditions at common security checkpoints like doorway exits, stock rooms, shipping docks, etc. The AMS-2000 system’s patent-pending RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) positioning technology can simultaneously identify the location and direction of multiple asset tags, and also provide long-range detection and protection for shielded, jammed, and tampered asset tags. Features The following describes some of the AMT-2000 asset tag features: • Protects valuable assets like laptops, PCs, portable equipment, product inventory, of- fice equipment, furnishings, artwork, etc. • Employs RFID technology to determine the asset’s location and direction of move- ment • Uses motion-sensor technology to detect movement and conserve battery life • Protects assets using an industry-first capability that detects and reports shielded and hidden assets even when they are covered with metal materials like aluminum foil • Detects off-site asset tag tampering and produces an alarm when the tag passes through a security area • Mounts to assets with commercial-strength adhesive double-back tape Figure 1 AMT-2000 Asset Manage- ment Tag 2 Installing/Removing Asset Tags AMT-2000 Asset Management Tags Installing/Removing Asset Tags Overview The following describes how to install and remove AMT-2000 asset tags. Installing Asset Tags Before installing an asset tag, make sure the tag’s location on the asset does not restrict or limit the use of the asset. Also, inform site security personnel you are going to install asset tags, and that the AMS-2000 system may report tamper alarms. This should prevent unneces- sary concern or action by the security personnel. To install asset tags: 1. Gather: • Two clean, soft texture cotton cloths • Spray bottle of cleaning solution consisting of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water 2. Spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto one of the clean cloths. 3. Test the cleaning solution on the asset by wiping a very small amount on a corner or non- visible area to ensure it does not harm the surface. If it does not harm the surface, proceed to step 4. If the solution appears to harm the surface in any way, stop immediately and wipe the remaining solution off the asset with the dry cloth. Then, refer to the literature supplied with the asset to obtain the recommended cleaning solution before proceeding to the next step. 4. Clean the area on the asset where you are installing the asset tag. Then, wipe it off with the dry cloth. 5. Remove the tamper switch cover by aligning its slot with the notches on the rear of the asset tag as shown in Figure 2. Be aware that the AMS-2000 system will likely report a tamper alarm at this point. 6. Peel the plastic backing off the adhesive strip on the rear of the asset tag. 7. Press the asset tag to the asset’s surface firmly for approximately 10 seconds. Warning Always test the cleaning solu- tion to ensure it does not damage the asset’s surface. AMT-200…

Origin Data Systems - Technical Report 99-086A. 2 1. INTRODUCTION The Origin Data Systems 'TPD 403 G' was evaluated for compliance to the FCC requirements identified in the Objective section. The results apply only to the specific items of equipment, configurations and procedures supplied to the Florida Atlantic University EMI Research Lab by Origin Data Systems as reported in this 15 page document. 2. OBJECTIVE This evaluation was performed to verify conformance of the Origin Data Systems 'TPD 403 G' to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 47 - Telecommunication, Part 15 - Radio Frequency Devices, Subpart C - Intentional Radiators: Section 15.231 Periodic operation in the band 40.66-40.70 MHz and above 70 MHz (b) and (c) requirements; as well 15.109(a) Radiated emission limits from unintentional radiators. CONCLUSION The 'TPD 403 G' unit met the FCC radiated emission requirements of 15.231(b) and (c). Also the requirement of 15.215(b) "...In no case shall the level of the unwanted emissions from an intentional radiator operating under these additional provisions exceed the field strength of the fundamental emission." was met. The unintentional radiated emission limits of 15.109(a) were met. 4. TEST PROCEDURES AND RESULTS 4.1 TEST PROCEDURES The measurement techniques identified in measurement procedure ANSI C63.4-1992 "American National Standard of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9kHz to 40 GHz" were followed as close as practical during this evaluation. Complete details and specific procedures used are discussed in the respective Tests Results sections. Origin Data Systems - Technical Report 99-086A. 3 4.1 UNINTENTIONAL RADIATED EMISSIONS - RECEIVE MODE. The 'TPD 403 G' unit was set up on a wooden turntable 80 centimeters above the ground plane of the FCC listed Semi-Anechoic test site. An EMCO 3104 Broadband Biconical antenna was installed on an EMCO pneumatically controlled Antenna Mast at a distance of 3 meters from the receiver unit. The 30 to 200 MHz frequency range was automatically scanned on the HP 8566B Spectrum Analyzer operated in the 'peak' detector mode with a bandwidth of 120 kHz obtained through the HP 85650A Quasi Peak Adapter. The turntable was rotated through 360 degrees, the antenna was scanned in height from 1 to 4 meters in both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. The 'TPD 403 G' was oriented in 3 physical positions - back, foot, and side. No emissions were detected as is shown by Figure 1. An EMCO 3146 Log Periodic antenna was then installed and the above procedure was repeated for the 200 to 1000 MHz range, and as shown on Figure 2, no emissions were detected. Figures 1 and 2 show the FCC unintentional radiated emission limits of 15.109(a) which have been corrected for the amplifier gain, cable loss and antenna factors such that the induced voltages at the HP 8566 Spectrum Analyzer can be compared directly to the limit. These limit curves are equal to the following: 30-88 MHz = 100 uV/m (40 dBuV/m) 88-216 MHz = 150 uV/m (43.5 dBuV/m) 216-960 MHz = 200 uV/m (46 dBuV/m) > 960 MHz = 500 uV/m (54 dBuV/m) Origin Data Systems - Technical Report 99-086A. 4 PHOTOGRAPH 1: SETUP FOR TESTING Origin Data Systems - Technical Report 99-086A. 5 FIGURE 1: UNINTENTIONAL EMISSIONS 30 - 200 MHz.

Origin Data Systems - Technical Report 99-086A. 7 4.2 INTENTIONAL RADIATED EMISSIONS - TRANSMIT MODE. The 'TPD 403 G' unit was set up on a wooden turntable 80 centimeters above the ground plane of the FCC listed Semi-Anechoic test site. An EMCO 3146 Log Periodic antenna was installed on an EMCO pneumatically controlled Antenna Mast at a distance of 3 meters from the transmitter unit. The HP 8566B Spectrum Analyzer, operated in the 'peak' detector mode with a bandwidth of 120 kHz obtained through the HP 85650A Quasi Peak Adapter, was tuned to the transmitter fundamental frequency of 433.9 MHz. The turntable was rotated through 360 degrees, the receiving antenna was scanned in height from 1 to 4 meters in both the horizontal and vertical polarizations, and the highest level of transmitter emission was recorded. The limits as stated in 15.231(b) for a fundamental frequency of 260-470 MHz, the field strength of the fundamental shall be less than 3,750-12,500 uV/m and the field strength of the spurious emissions shall be less than 375-1,250 uV/m at a distance of 3 meters. These limits are determined by linear interpolation; therefore, with the 'TPD 403 G' transmitter operating at a fundamental frequency of 433.9 MHz, the limit for the fundamental is 10,998 uV/m (80.8 dBuV/m) and the limits for spurious emissions are 1,099.8 uV/m (60.8 dBuV/m). Previous discussions with Mr. Ed Gibbons of the FCC office indicated that a relaxation for on/off transmit time or duty cycle was permitted. The data in the following tables was obtained with the transmitter on 100% of the time. The normal transmit output from this product is only when the device is interrogated by a field such as would be found in a security entry/exit alcove of a building, therefore, the duty cycle rate would be extremely low. For this report, a conservative figure of a 10% duty cycle was used. This -20 dB relaxation has been added to the limits of 15.231(b) as is reflected in the tables below; i.e., the fundamental limit of 80.8 dBuV/m has been increased to 100.8 dBuV/m and the spurious/harmonic limits have been increased to 80.8 dBuV/m. The following tables show all emissions to be below the 15.231(b) limit, independent of unit orientation, azimuth or receiving antenna polarization. However, as indicated in 15.215(b), the level of all unwanted emissions must be lower than the fundamental emission. It should be noted that for the frequencies, the cable loss and amplifier gain factors have been incorporated in…
