RWB-MT9100RESROC RMS Repeater

WESROC ® Repeater ~ WESROC ® Repeater MT-9100R – AC MT-9100R – ACO The Wesroc ® RMS Repeater is used for extending the effective range of the transmissions of any Wesroc ® remote telemetry system. Simply place the repeater in a location that is as close as equally distant from the transmitter and the base unit as possible. The AC version has an AC power adapter permanently attached and is for indoor use only. The ACO (AC powered, Outdoor) version of the repeater is weatherproof and is suitable for any outdoor location. The repeater comes with either a permanently connected power supply (AC version) or a 25 foot cord and an external power supply (ACO version). To put the repeater into operation, simply plug it in. The ACO version of the repeater can be outdoors, but the plug-in power supply must be indoors or sufficiently out of the elements. The ACO version of the repeater and its power supply have mating coaxial DC power connectors. This is so a hole can be drilled in an outside wall and the connection to the power adapter made inside. Any number of repeaters can be "daisy chained" to extend the effective range even further. The repeater functions differently when it must cooperate with other repeaters. No configuration is necessary as this function is automatic. WARRANTY INFORMATION Independent Technologies, Inc. (ITC) warrants the MT- 9100R WESROC ® RMS Repeater against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year from date of shipment to original purchaser. All units deemed defective under this warranty will be replaced or repaired at ITC’s option. No other warranty is expressed or implied, nor will responsibility for operation of this device be assumed by ITC. Radio Frequency Exposure Warning To ensure that exposure to hazardous radio frequency radiation is prevented, this equipment must not be installed in a location where humans will be routinely within 20 centimeters of it. To ensure that FCC requirements are met regarding radio frequency exposure, Wesroc RMS Repeaters are not to be placed in operation where they will be collocated with other Wesroc RMS Repeaters. Collocation is considered to be where one operating Wesroc RMS Repeater is within 20 centimeters of another operating Wesroc RMS Repeater. Radio Interference This equipment (FCC ID number RWB-MT9100R and IC number 115A-MT9100R) has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The Wesroc RMS Repeater contains no user serviceable parts. Any changes or modifications to the Wesroc RMS Repeater that are not expressly approved by Independent Technologies could void authorization to use the Wesroc RMS repeater.

NCEE Labs R030906-03 FCC ID: RWB-MT9100R IC: 115A-MT9100R Page 37 of 39 FCC ID: RWB-MT9100R RF Exposure Statement for MT9100R: Notice in Installation Manual: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 1.88cm (0.75 inches) between the radiator and your body. RF Exposure Calculations: The following information provides the minimum separation distances for the two major antenna types used in this system. Directional Antenna: The 8dBi antenna is the maximum gain antenna certified for use with the product. The minimum separation distance is calculated from FCC OET 65 Appendix B, Table 1B Guidelines for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. This calculation is based on the highest EIRP possible from the system, considering maximum power and antenna gain. The exposure limit for a transmitter operating at 905.5MHz is found in mW/cm^2 using the equations f/1200. Since the operating frequency in channel DA produced the lowest limit, that limit will be used in calculation. (905.5/1200 = 0.75mW/cm^2) S = (Po * G) / (4 * Pi * r^2) or r = SQRT [ (Po * G) / (4 * Pi * S) ] Where S = 0.75 mW/cm^2 for 915 MHz Where Po = 5.38 mW (Peak RF, 7.31dBm) Where G = 6.31 (numeric equivalent to 8dBi antenna gain with 0.0 dB cable loss) Where r = Minimum Safe Distance from antenna (cm) For Po = 5.38mW, r = 1.88cm ( 0.75 inches) For a distance [r] of 20cm from this antenna, the field density S = 0.0068 mW/cm^2 Notes: 1. The minimum safe distance is based on a conservative “worst case” prediction, i.e. using the formula shown above and no duty factor. In practice the minimum distance will be much shorter. (Ref. 2) 2. The minimum safe distance has been calculated for the maximum allowed Power Density (S) limit of 0.75 mW/cm^2 for the frequency 915 MHz for uncontrolled environments (Ref. 2). References: 1.

Conducted emissions measurements were made according to ANSI/IEEE C63.4: 2003 and compared to the limits as found in 47 CFR Part 15.207. Both models MT-9100R-AC and MT-9100R-ACO were tested, the difference being the length of the power supply cable. 1.2.2 Radiated Emissions Compliance to 47 CFR Parts 15.209 and 15.247 was tested in accordance with the methods of ANSI/IEEE C63.4: 2003. Several configurations were examined and the results presented represent a worst-case scenario. The EUT was placed on a wooden table approximately 80cm high and centered on a 4m diameter turntable. The table was rotated to find the angles of maximum emissions and the receiving antenna was moved from 1m to 4m in both vertical and horizontal positions. The EUT was tested while sitting both vertically and horizontally. The horizontal configuration produced the highest emissions, and that position was used for all radiated testing. All measurements were taken at a distance of 3m from the EUT for Part 15.209 intentional radiator measurements, and 3m for 15.247 measurements of the fundamental frequency in the 902MHz to 928MHz band and subsequent harmonics. 1.3 Reason for amendment This test report has been amended to correct details on the output power of the transmitter as shown on page 5 and details regarding measurements above 1GHz.
