GT-1 Basic Installation, Maintenance and User Setup Guide Guide Revision v1.1 Geoforce Inc. GT-1 Part Number: XS-GT-1 GT-1 Installation Installation Basics: The Geoforce GT-1 can be installed on any flat surface that allows a full view of the sky. A variety of (5/16” or 8 mm) installation hardware can be utilized to mount the GT-1. Socket-Head Cap Screws (for installations that do not have access to the back side of the mounting surface) Hex-Head Cap Screws (for installations that have access to the back side of the mounting surface for a nut) Self-drilling Sheet-metal Screws The GT-1 will capture and hold a Hex-Head Cap Screw while being secured from the backside. To Mount the GT-1: 1. Locate a flat surface that gives the GT-1 a good view to the sky. 2. Drill Two 5/16” diameter mounting holes 5.5” (140mm) apart. These holes may also be drilled and tapped 5/16”-18 or 8mm x 1.25 3. Place GT-1 and secure in place with required hardware. An optional pre-cut VHB securing pad can also be included to bond the GT-1 in place. GT-1 Maintenance The Geoforce GT-1 is a low maintenance global tracking device. User based maintenance is limited to the following: 1) Periodic battery changes when battery life runs low. To change the GT-1 batteries: 1) Locate the T-27 security torx bit driver 2) Remove the 4 tamperproof torx screws from the GT-1 metal enclosure 3) Remove the upper metal enclosure half and white electronics housing from the lower metal enclosure a. Take care to not let any water drip into the battery compartment 4) Remove and replace all 6 batteries with provided GT-1 battery replacement kit (part # AO-GT1-BATT) 5) Place GT-1 white electronics housing back into lower metal enclosure a. Alignment tab on end of white plastic housing should line up and nestle into enclosure slot 6) Place upper metal enclosure half back in place 7) Secure the 4 tamperproof torx screws, maximum torque 6-10ftlbs. [8-13Nm] WARNING: DO NOT open the GT-1 metal enclosure or replace the batteries while an explosive or hazardous environment in present. WARNING: Replace the GT-1 batteries ONLY with approved Geoforce provided 3.6V batteries. Using any other batteries will void the entirety of GT-1 intrinsic safety.

§ 15.247(i) Maximum Permissible Exposure RF Exposure Requirements: §1.1307(b)(1) and §1.1307(b)(2): Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. RF Radiation Exposure Limit: §1.1310: As specified in this section, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limit shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation as specified in Sec. 1.1307(b), except in the case of portable devices which shall be evaluated according to the provisions of Sec. 2.1093 of this chapter. MPE Limit Calculation: EUT’s operating frequencies @ 2400-2483.5 MHz; highest conducted power = -5.79 (peak) therefore, Limit for Uncontrolled exposure: 1 mW/cm 2 or 10 W/m 2 EUT maximum antenna gain = 5 dBi. Equation from page 18 of OET 65, Edition 97-01 S = PG / 4R 2 or R = √PG / 4S where, S = Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Power Input to antenna (0.264 mW) G = Antenna Gain (3.16) R = Separation Distance between Antenna and User (20 cm) S = (0.264 * 3.16)/( 4**(20) 2 ) = 0.000166 mW/cm 2
