Article Security and Identification LDB100 Users Manual LUCATRON AG, CH-8606 Greifensee, Switzerland LDB100 Users Manual Ver 1.0, Page 3 of 4 Product Description 1.4 DONLY Deactivator (P/N LDB-100) 1.4.1 Description The LDB-100 is a stand-alone one-channel deactivator for 8.2 MHz EAS labels. It generates an electromagnetic RF field, which is radiated over an external antenna loop. This RF field destroys the resonance capacitor of a paper label in the RF field. The process is repeated about 150 times a sec- onds and at the same times a receiver in the deactivator checks whether deactivation was successful. In the case that the LDB-100 failed to deactivate the label, e.g. because a nondeactivatable hard tag is in the field, an alarm (optical or acoustic) will be emitted. This receiving function also works, when there are other synchronized or non-synchronized deactivators nearby. 1.4.2 Specifications Power Supply12 V DC / 200 mA Mechanical dimensions24 mm x 55 mm x 155 mm (0.95“ x 2.15“ x 6.10“) Weight200 g (7 oz.)

The antenna pad ACC-201 is con- nected to the connector X3 (green) and the buzzer with cable ACC-401 to X2 (RJ11). Finally the power supply ACC-101 is plugged into the power outlet and the sec- ondary cable with the round connector into X1.. and the deactivator is ready to go. There are no adjustments required! 1.4.4 Operation Place the bigger sized goods with the security label directly over the antenna pad or just whipe with the smaller ones over the antenna. All labels in a distance up to 30 cm (12 inch) will be deactivated without further notice. The deactivation process requires less than one second. Only if there is a stubborn label that can not be deactivat or a reusable hard tag in the detection area, an acoustic alarm will be given out. In the case of stubborn label, turn the goods in a dif- ferent position and try the process again.

Those files, especially the (1) schematics, (2) block diagram, (3) operational description and (4) internal photos contain trade secrets, which are not available to our competitors under normal circumstances. One of our mayor competitors is located in the USA and sells a similar product, but with considerable bigger size and much more complicated to install. We have developed a product, which in addition is much less susceptible to false alarming. If this competitor could review the files as stated above, they would be in a position to use our know-how and incorporate it into their product. A skilled engineer can read from a schematics like from a book. I actually do not know how difficult it is to get acces to FCC filings, but I have seen instances when a competitor was able to get the filings for purposes other than intended. It is therefore my concern that FCC will not be misused to gain unfair advantage over a competitor. Signature: Philipp E. Müller Manager R&D
