Date(s) of Test: March 15 th , 2004 Test Engineer(s): Tom Smith √ Abtin Spantman Ken Boston Model #: 96106472 Serial #: 100.000; Engineering Units #SWX01 and SWX02 Test Frequency and Voltage: 434 MHz; 3.0 VDC Environmental Conditions in the Test Lab : Temperature: 20-25° C Atmospheric Pressure: 86 kPa - 106 kPa Humidity: 30-60% 7. Introduction On March 15 th , 2004, a series of Radiated Emissions tests were performed on two samples of the Snow-Way International Joystick Wireless Controller for straight plows Model Number 96106472, Serial Numbers 100.000-SWX01 (configured for continuous cw), and 100.000-SWX02 (configured for normal operation), here forth referred to as the “Equipment Under Test” or “EUT”. These tests were performed 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 periodic operation of a low power transmitter. All Conducted and Radiated Emission tests were performed to measure the emissions in the frequency bands described later in this report, and to determine whether said emissions are below the limits established by the aforementioned standards. 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 – CISPR 16-1, 2002. 8. 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.
