Page 1 of 2 BarVision TM Spout Operational Description FCC ID: Q4601 General: A BarVision Spout is design to attach to a liquor bottle and provide inventory information about the liquor bottle. This information is transmitted to a BarVision radio receiver and combined with information from other BarVision Spouts in order to generate inventory related reports. Sensors: A BarVision Spout has a >90 degree tilt sensor, a >135 degree tilt sensor, and a bottle attach detect button. The tilt sensors are used to determine when a drink is poured and to estimate how much was dispensed. Radio Transmissions: The BarVision Spout operates in compliance with FCC Sections 15.231(a) and 15.231(e) of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The transmission frequency is 433.28 MHz, the raw data rate is 4407 bits per second (with the exception of a preamble, the number of data bits is half of this for Manchester encoding), and it is OOK (On-Off Keying) encoded. Transmission Types: The BarVision Spout has two modes of transmission: immediate and periodic. Immediate transmissions occur after a drink is poured, when the spout is removed from a bottle, and when the spout is attached to a bottle. Periodic transmissions occur every ten seconds when one of these events has occurred within the last few minutes and otherwise every 60 seconds or less. Both types of transmissions include a synchronization header, a Manchester Encoded body, and 16-bit CRC. Page 2 of 2 Immediate transmissions: These transmissions are in response to a user pouring a drink, removing the spout, and/or replacing the spout and include an up to 32-bit control code uniquely identifying the Spout and control codes specifying what event occurred along with related data. These transmissions are always less than five seconds. Periodic Transmissions: Generally these transmissions occur every 60 seconds or less often. However, when the sensors have detected that a drink has been poured within the last five minutes, the spout has been detached from a bottle, and/or attached to a bottle, then a Periodic Transmission occurs as often as every 10 seconds. Periodic Transmissions include an up to 32-bit control code uniquely identifying the Spout and can also contain control codes specifying the details of one or more recent events. Periodic Transmissions can also include configuration data such as the software version number. For Periodic Transmissions occurring within 10 seconds of a previous Periodic Transmission they are always shorter than 1/3 of a second in duration. In rare cases there are Periodic Transmissions up to one second but these are always followed by a period with no Periodic Transmissions at least 30 times longer.

The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 15.27(a) Special Accessories. Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without additional charge. Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment. Flom Test Labs 3356 N.
