Regional regulatory agency approval may be required to operate CEN-8B throughout the world. For purposes of ease of integration, time to market, and product surety, Centrak submitted CEN-8B to relevant agencies and obtained regulatory approvals for specific countries. CEN-8B was approved under the “Modular Approval (MA) Grant”. This certification represents a significant cost savings to the OEM. The radio certification portion of this grant is transferable to Digital Electronic Device manufacturers given adherence to specific implementation criteria noted herein. Any modification of the CEN-8B will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Any alteration or deviation from the documented installation and/or use of the CEN-8B will void the MA Grant as it applies to the end-product. This module is to be installed only in mobile or fixed applications and please add a reference to part 2.1091(b) for a definition of mobile and fixed devices. Note, that separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations. In the event the Digital Electronic Device manufacturer alters the herein described and approved installation of the CEN-8B, the end-product may require a complete battery of regulatory agency certification test Digital Electronic Device manufacturer may be required to submit to a complete battery of tests, depending on the requirements noted in the region they wish to sell their product. The MA Grant provides that Digital Electronic Device manufacturers who incorporate the CEN-8B Module as tested and approved, and can be relieved from having to perform the Radio Regulatory certification portion of the respective agency certification. The MA Grant is valid only in countries that recognize the MA Grant certification process. Countries currently accepting the MA Grant include; the USA, Canada, and many European countries as noted in the General User Guide Requirements Section of this document. Terms and conditions of regulatory approval for these countries are also described herein. However, this “grandfathered” radio certification does not relieve the Digital Electronic Device manufacturers from submitting their device for digital emissions certifications. Electronic device manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section provided they accept full responsibility for regulatory type-approval of the electronic device with an integrated CEN-8B wireless module.

Centrak, INC. 5 Caufield Place, Newtown, PA 18940 U.S.A. Date: 1/29/2013 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for Modular Approval. To whom may it concern: FCC ID: ST2-CEN8B IC: 6012A-CEN8B Contact person: Israel Amir E-mail: [email protected] We have the following attestation to the eight requirements described by FCC public notice DA00-1407 "Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval". 1. RF shielding. The model CEN-8B, (FCC ID: ST2-CEN8B, IC:6012A-CEN8B) has its own RF shielding. The shielding is made by metal and completely added to RF part during our manufacturing. It is not easily removed module. Please see exhibition external photos of this module. 2. Excessive data rates or over modulation. The module circuit buffers all modulation and control of the transmitter. The control of the transmitter is via data commands and software instructions that are supplied from external devices. The transmitter is tested with the module operated at the maximum power. The commands can reduce the power of transmitter but do not influence the modulation contents. 3. Power supply regulation. The module has its own power supply regulator to insure compliance with part 15 requirements regardless of the quality or level of external DC supplying the module from the end product. The regulator operates in 3.3Vdc. Centrak, INC. 5 Caufield Place, Newtown, PA 18940 U.S.A. 4. Antenna and unique coupler requirements to antenna connector. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of section 15.203 and 15.204(C).” The EUT meets the FCC antenna requirements. The spurious emission, unique antenna connector and photos of the antenna is shown in the test report. 5. Stand--alone configuration. The modular transmitter has been performed the testing as a stand alone and then confirmed the compliance. Please refer to the test report number 6. Label with own FCC ID number and exterior label. The module is labeled with own FCC ID number. Please see exhibition label sample for the FCC ID of this module. The label made by polyester sheet is affixed to the module by a high-strength adhesive. Since the FCC ID number will not be visible when the module is installed inside the end product, there are instructions give to the OEM how to label the end product. 7. Compliant with any specific rule or operating requirements. The module as manufactured is completely controlled by the onboard processor. There are no influences to the operation of the transmitter the end can induce that will operate the module outside of scope of the regulations. The necessary explanation for user to be complied with this requirement is contained on the manual. 8. RF exposure requirements. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Sincerely, Israel Amir
