Response to TCB Findings 1. Please specify the label material The label material is metallized polyester. 2. Please explain why AC line conducted emissions test was not conducted on the device. This device is powered by a pure DC supply (vehicle battery). 3. There seems to be a cable connection between the receiver and the transmitter in the radiated emissions test set-up photo. Please clarify the purpose of this direct connection in terms of functionality. The cable you see is a service cable; it is used for the purpose of recharging the batteries of the transmitter and is not connected during normal operation

(+39) 059-511-357 Web: http://www.tecnord.com RC-TRS-RX Operational Description RC-TRS receiver (RC-TRS-RX) decodes messages sent by its coupled transmitter unit and actuates the corresponding functions. The functions can be actuated with simple on-off commands or with a proportional regulation. A three-digits 7-segments display provides additional diagnostic information. Several analog and digital inputs are available for monitoring the actuated machine’s status. Figure 1 shows the RC-TRS-RX unit. Figure 1 – RC-TRS receiver unit.

(+39) 059-511-357 Web: http://www.tecnord.com OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION When the power supply is turned on, a short self-diagnosys cycle is performed and then the unit is ready for operation. The RC-TRS-RX decodes only messages coming from its coupled RC-TRS transmitter: a security RF identifier (unique for each tx/rx pair) is stored in a non-volatile memory. A front connector is available for connecting the coupled transmitter unit via a service cable. The service cable is used for charging the transmitter’s batteries as well as to provide a secure backup communication channel (an RS-485 line) in case of highly disturbed environments. First Time Operation Before operating for the first time a receiver with its transmitter unit, the proportional trigger’s acquisition procedure must be performed (see user’s manual for details on the proportional trigger’s acquisition procedure). Normal Operation ÿ The receiver continously waits for messages coming from its coupled transmitter unit. Messages are decoded and the corresponding functions (on-off or proportional) are actuated. ÿ All messages are checked for correspondance of the unique RF identifier. Messages that fail this check are discarded. ÿ All messages have an error control field that is always checked. Errored messages are discarded. ÿ When no valid messages are received, the unit automatically turns all active functions off. ÿ Proportional functions must be activated with their associated on-off switch and then the proportional trigger can be actuated; functions that fail this sequence are not activated. ÿ Depending on customer’s requirements the display can show the receiver’s actual status as well as a variety of diagnostic information (see user’s manual for details on the diagnostic information available). ÿ The function’s parameters are adjustable via a calibration tool (see user’s manual for details on how to set function’s parameters using the calibration tool).
