NEVER operate plow when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other medications that could hamper your judgement and reactions. An accident may result in serious injury or death to other persons or yourself. ALWAYS operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area. The carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is highly toxic and can cause serious injury or death. NEVER allow hands, hair or clothing to get near any moving parts such as fan blades, belts and pulleys. Never wear neckties or loose clothing when working on the vehicle. NEVER wear wrist watches, rings or other jewelry when working on the vehicle or individual equipment. These things can catch on moving parts or cause an electrical short circuit that could result in serious personal injury. ALWAYS wear safety goggles when working on the vehicle to protect your eyes from battery acid, gasoline, and dust or dirt from flying off of moving engine parts. ALWAYS be aware of and avoid contact with hot surfaces such as engine, rad…

Test Report Number: 302209 9. Product Description The ‘Predator’ wireless plow-controller is a transmitter that enables the user to control and set the position and orientation of the plow, remotely from inside the automobile, during plowing operations. The Predator wireless plow-controller operates at 434 MHz, with FM/FSK modulation characteristics. When activated, the plow-controller transmitter issues a series of packet commands, containing PWM encoded binary data, for a simplex link with the receiving plow mechanism. Detailed Description: The Predator wireless plow-controller is designed to eliminate the need for wire routing from inside the vehicle, through the fire-wall, to the plow mechanism, for control of the plow mechanism. Instead, the wireless system simply uses a portable, hand-held transmitter to transmit the commands to move and control the plow. The plow mechanism would only need to be connected to the power source. When a command button is pressed on the transmitter, two data packets are transmitted at minimum, and more if the button is continuously held down. When the transmitter button is released, three termination packets are sent, after which the transmitter goes into standby mode. The packet repetition rate is approximately 130 ms, and during that 130 ms cycle, the transmitter is power managed through the transmit IC, such that the power amplifier is gated on only for approximately 57 ms, to allow for the 45 ms packet to be transmitted, plus 12 ms of guard time around the packet. Other than the 57 ms of transmission per packet, the transmitter is in standby mode at all other times, with the transmit IC gated off. The transmitter uses two standard ìAAî type batteries, which are replaceable. 10. Test Requirements The Predator wireless plow-controller transmitter unit was to be tested for radiated emissions, and compliance with the limits set forth by 47 CFR, part 15.205, 15.209, 15.231a, 15.231b, and 15.231c, for manually operated periodic transmitters, as well as for compliance with Industry Canada, RSS-210, for low power license-exempt radio-communication devices. 11. Summary of Test Report The Predator wireless plow-controller transmitter was found to MEET the requirements as described within the specifications of Title 47 CFR, Part 15.231 and RSS-210, Section 6.1 for a low power transmitter.

Product and General Information Sno-Way International, Inc. ëPredatorí Wireless Plow-Controller 100000 434 MHz Manufacturer: Model Number: Serial Number: Frequency Range: Test Voltage: 3.0 VDC Environmental Conditions in the Test Lab : Temperature: 20-25◦ C Atmospheric Pressure: 30-60% Humidity: 86kPa-106kPa 7. Introduction On July 9 th , 2002, a series of Radiated Emissions tests were performed on one sample of the Sno-Way ëPredatorí wireless plow-controller, serial number 100000. This product operates by means of a short burst of data transmission containing a command code. These tests were preformed using the test procedure outlined in ANSI C63.4, 2001 for intentional radiators, and in accordance with the limits set forth in FCC Part 15.231, for a manually operated transmitter. 8. Purpose The above-mentioned tests were performed in order to determine the compliance of the equipment under test (EUT), with limits contained in various provisions of Title 47CFR, FCC Part 15, including: 15.205, 15.209, 15.231a, 15.231b, and 15.231c. All radiated emission tests were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described in section 12i, and to determine whether said emissions are below the limits established by the above sections. These tests were performed in accordance with the procedures described in the American National Standard for methods of measurements of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz (ANSI C63.4, 2001). Also used as a reference, for the EMI Receiver specification, is the International Special Committee on Radio Interference ñ CISPR 16-1, 1999. ____…
