The 809-35xx RF sensors are composed of four major functional blocks: the user interface, a temperature measuring block, a time keeper and microprocessor block, and the RF transmitter block. The user interface is composed of two switches and an LED. One of the switches is denoted as the service pin. It has three functions: it turns the sensor on, if held for ten seconds it turns the sensor off, and if pressed momentarily when the sensor is on, it will transmit the temperature with the service pin flag set, provided that the last transmission was more than ten seconds ago. The other switch is the clean/defrost termination switch. It allows the user to set a flag that the area controller can interpret to ignore the transmitted data. The LED is used to provide feedback to the user on whether the sensor is on and/or in clean mode. It will also flash when a successful service pin message is transmitted. The temperature measuring block is composed of a thermistor and a 24.9K resistor set up as a voltage divider. This voltage is read by a 12-bit A/D converter and transmitted as counts to the time keeper and microprocessor block. The time-keeper and microprocessor block is composed of a DS2417 time keeper and a Motorola MC68HC705KJ1CDW. The DS2417 keeps track of the time between transmissions and controls the reset line to the Motorola microprocessor. When the DS2417 determines that a transmission is required [either the clock has elapsed the predetermined transmission period (set by jumper JP1 to either one minute or three minutes) or the service pin has been depressed and the last transmission was at least 10 seconds ago], it wakes up the Motorola microprocessor, measures the temperature, checks the flags, and sends the data to the RF transmitter block via a serial interface using inverted NRZ with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The RF transmitter block is composed of a Linx Technologies TXM-418-LC-R transmitter operating at 418MHz, an attenuation T-pad composed of three SMD resistors, and a ΒΌ wave antenna.

Additionally, since the equipment covered by this report is designed to periodically transmit data the alternative limits indicated in (e) of paragraph 15.231 were used. Note: The conducted emissions test was not performed since the EUT is battery operated with no means for connection to public mains. Product description: The product(s) covered by this report consisted of a model 809-3545, battery operated temperature transmitter, intended for use with refrigeration equipment. Model 809-3545 is an intentional radiator operating at 418MHz and is programmed to transmit once every 3 minutes. The transmit duration is 18.8 mS maximum (on time). The equipment utilizes a maximum 10.42% duty cycle (see manufacturers letter in section 9). The enclosure is constructed of metal with plastic end caps with overall dimensions measuring 14.2cm long by 3.2cm high by 2.9cm deep and encloses the following components judged as critical: 1. A printed wiring board, manufactured by Computer Process Controls, part no. 537-3545 Rev. 1.60 2. An RF module, manufactured by Linx, part no. TX-418-LC-R. 3. Two unshielded integral cables. One cable is terminated with a thermistor (thermistor cable) and the other cable is for connection to a switch (clean switch cable). Additionally, the unit is provided with a 17.5 cm long, (ΒΌ wave) whip antenna. EMC Testing Lab.

Page 1 of 2 2/21/01 Barry C. Quinlan From: "Gene Bailey" <[email protected]> To: "Certification Manager" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 5:52 PM Subject: Re: FCC ID: OZR809-3545 Barry, This is in response to your e-mail dated February 12, 2001 for FCC ID OZR809-3545. 1. The batteries used in the unit were new, fully charged batteries as required by 15.31(e). 2. During the emissions testing the EUT was rotated through three orthogonal axis. The maximum emissions measured was with the EUT in the upright position (intended installation). The "Test set- up" photograph was taken when the peak emissions were measured. 3. As discussed during our recent telephone conversation, the worst-case duty cycle would be next to impossible to plot because, the worst-case duty cycle is tied to the physical address of the DS2417 in the transmitter. Some of the bits of address of the DS2417, the temperature data, the service pin flag and the CRC are used to create the physical message. The address of the DS2417 is not programmable or selectable since each DS part has a unique 1-wire address. To generate the worst case message, CPC used a mathematical analysis (see manufacturers letter in section 9 of the report) to get the largest number of 1βs in the message possible and continued with the analysis. Additionally, as discussed three similar transmitters in this product group have already received FCC grants with the same exact duty cycle information provided. 4. The EUT is factory set at a 3 minute cycle time, but may be special ordered with a 1 minute cycle time. The cycle time is set during manufacture of the product. If jumper JP2 is populated with a jumper, the transmission period is 1 minute. If JP2 is not populated the transmission period is 3 minutes. The firmware is limited to these two choices. 5.Radiated emissions were measured from 30 MHz to 4.18 GHz. 6. The antenna is manufactured by Linx Technologies, part number ANT-418-PW-QW and is permanently secured to the enclosure by placing its base through a ΒΌ inch hole in the enclosure and securing it with a nut and washer. The nut is then covered with a bonding adhesive. The connection of the antenna to the PCB is accomplished by trimming the coax to length and crimping two Molex terminals part no. 16-02-0087 to the coax with a Molex 11-01-0209 crimp tool. The mating header (Molex part no. 70553-0001) is soldered to the printed wiring board. 7. The label material is a poly-carbonate with the markings back printed on the label. The label is provided with a 3M adhesive type 467 or 502. Since the label is back printed you would have to physically destroy the label to scratch off the marking. 8. The last three grants issued by the FCC were in behalf of Computer Process Controls, as indicated in item 4 above. The FCC ID for the grants are OZR809-3542, OZR809-3544 and OZR809-3548. You can go to the FCC web site and verify that EMC Testing Laboratories was the agent and test Page 2 of 2 2/21/01 facility for these grants. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us. -----Original Message----- From: Certification Manager <[email protected]> To: Kent Stewart <[email protected]> Date: Monday, February 12, 2001 10:41 AM Subject: FCC ID: OZR809-3545 Kent, We have conducted our review of the application and the following issues have been identified: 1. Please confirm that you used a new battery during the testing per 15.31(e). 2. Please confirm that you rotated the sample through three orthogonal axis during testing to maximize radiated emissions. 3. For information only, no response needed. The table on page 12 of the test report shows incorrect limits. The limits in the tables are based solely on the fundamental frequency and not on the frequency of the emission. Thus, for this 418MHz unit, all spurious not in a restricted band per 15.205 are subject to a 41.8uV/m limit at 10 meters unless 15.209 allows a higher limit. The sample is compliant with the correct limit with the data provided. 4. For information only. Conversion from 3 to 10 meters is 10.5 dB, not 10dB. Limits in tables on page 15 of the test report are 0.5dB too generous. We would prefer data acquired at the limit distance of 3 meters. 5. Please provide oscilloscope plots or equivalent documenting the claimed duty cycle of 10.42%. Please show the actual on time for one and zero bits. 6. Please provide test data for documenting the 3 minute cycle time. Written observations from the lab or manufacturer are acceptable. 7. Please tell us the frequency range explored for radiated emissions. 8. Please supply front and back test setup photos. 9. Please describe the antenna used with the unit and its method of attachment to the product. 10. Please provide details of the label material. 11. It appears that your laboratory is not ISO Guide 25 (or equivalent) accredited. Please can you provide documentary evidence showing that the FCC have accepted at least 3 transmitter test reports from your laboratory. Best regards Barry C.
