These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user wil be required to correct the interference at his own expense. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ! READ BEFORE USE CAUTION Modifications to this equipment which are not expressly approved By Thermo Life Sciences development department could void the Users authority to operate this equipment. WARNING Do NOT short circuit the battery as this may cause a risk of explosion. ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK. Isolate the power supply before removing any cover. BURN HAZARD. Installation and maintenance of temperature probes should only be carried out by users who are qualified and are familiar with the required safety procedures applicable to the equipment to which the probe is being fitted. Ensure each part of the system is installed securely and in such a way that it does not obstruct normal access to surrounding areas and is kept away from excessive heat and moisture. Read the user manual before installing or making changes to the system.

Thermo Life Sciences J. Walker Thermo Life Sciences R&D department 20-11-2001 REMOTE DATA SYSTEM RDS-1 TRANSMITTER (RDSTXUS1) FCC ID: P26RDSTXUS1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The RDS system has been designed as an integrated data acquisition and equipment monitoring system. Almost any type of equipment can be monitored by using an RDS transmitter and a suitable type of sensor. The transmitter monitors the equipment to which it is attached and should the programmed limit be crossed (temp,voltage etc) then an alarm signal is sent to the reciever which alerts the user to the fault. An audible and visual alarm is also given by the transmitter itself to alert anyone in the immediate area to the fault. Transmitters can be added to the system as required up to a limit of 255 per reciever. Being battery operated and wireless the transmitters require no special installation. All operational parameters for the transmitters are programmed using an infra-red link from the receiver. The transmitters can reprogrammed as many times as required but only using the receiver. This gives complete system security and integrity as no unathorised changes can be made to the remote transmitter units. FCC ID: P26RDSTXUS1

The device is an electronic temperature probe with a radio transmitter which relays temperature readings back to a receiving station (RDSRXUS1). The radio link operates at a frequency of 914.5MHz and was tested under the requirements of section 15.249 of the CFR 47 rules. The unit is battery powered. The antenna is fixed and not user changeable. Details of the EUT and associated peripherals used during the tests are listed below. Figure 1 shows the interconnections between the EUT and peripherals.
