Exposure of humans to RF fields As per FCC KDB 447498 D01 and Section 2.1091 radio frequency transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to RF energy levels. Calculations have been made using the General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure limits that are defined in Section 1.1310. The product operates in the frequency band 452.000 MHz to 455.000 MHz. For worst case MPE calculations, 452.000 MHz has been selected. Limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) - General Population / Uncontrolled exposure is f/1500. At 452.0 MHz, the calculated limit is 0.3 mW/cm 2 - Occupational /Controlled exposure is f/300. At 452.0 MHz, the calculated limit is 1.5mW /cm 2 Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. For Uncontrolled Environment At 452.0 MHz, Power Density = (452.0/1500)=0.30 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √0.3*3770 E = 33.6 V/m FCC ID: P5MRFI400 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 42 of 50 Test Report No 230202.1 25 th May 2023 This report may not be reproduced except in full. For Controlled Environment At 452.0 MHz, Power Density = (452.0/300)=1.50 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √1.50*3770 E = 75.4 V/m The rated maximum transmitter power = 250 Watts (+54 dBm). A worst case scenario duty cycle of 100% has been used for the calculations. The client has declared that the antenna is chosen by the customer depending on the required coverage. Unity gain has been used to make the assessment. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the following Field strength in V/m (FS), Transmit power in watts (P) Transmit antenna gain (G) Transmitter duty cycle (DC) Separation distance in metres (D) The calculation is as follows: FS = (√ (30 * P * G * DC)) / D Therefore a) For Uncontrolled environments, the minimum distance is: D = (√ (30 * P * G * DC)) / FS D = (√ (30 * 250 * 1.0 * 1.0)) / 33.6 D = 2.6 metres a) For Controlled environments, the minimum distance is: D = (√ (30 * P * G * DC)) / FS D = (√ (30 * 250 * 1.0 * 1.0)) / 75.4 D = 1.15 metres Result: Complies if a safe distance shown in the calculations above is followed.

ATTESTATION This report describes the tests and measurements performed for the purpose of determining compliance with the specification with the following conditions: The client selected the test sample. The report relates only to the sample tested. This report does not contain corrections or erasures. Measurement uncertainties with statistical confidence intervals of 95% are shown below test results. Both Class A and Class B uncertainties have been accounted for, as well as influence uncertainties where appropriate. In addition this equipment has been tested in accordance with the requirements contained in the appropriate Commission regulations. All compliance statements have been made with respect of the specification limit with no reference to the measurement uncertainty. To the best of my knowledge, these tests were performed using measurement procedures that are consistent with industry or Commission standards and demonstrate that the equipment complies with the appropriate standards. I further certify that the necessary measurements were made by EMC Technologies NZ Ltd, 47 MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
