System Description This system (D.U.T.) is an UHF Narrowband Signal Booster to operate within range 450-512MHz for Land Mobile radio FCC Part 90. Antenna Rx INPUT . . . RF Tx OUTPUT MCPA AGC AGC AGC Figure 1 – UHF Narrowband Signal Booster Basic Block Diagram The system features six or more programmable frequency narrowband filters. The desired operation frequencies must be configured using built-in Web Server. Programmable Individual Rx Threshold level (Squelch) per filter allows transmission if the probe signal is greater than configured Squelch. Individual Automatic Gain Control (AGC) per filter delivers constant output power level per channel (+/- 1 dB) regardless of their input level variations. The maximum output level per filter can be changed with option “Maximum Desired Output Level per filter” in Main Settings page from Web Server (please refer to UHF Narrow band Signal Booster O&M Manual.doc for more details). CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC. (CTI) MARK-IV UHF NARROWBAND SIGNAL BOOSTER USER’S MANUAL Page 4 of 12 Rev0 May/2011 The built-in Web Server provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to ease in remote monitoring & control. Access is obtained via a PC’s Web Browser and a TCP/IP connection to the Unit. The system can be connected directly to a PC computer or can be plugged into the local area network. Some pages shown by the Web Server are the following: “Main Status”: depicts status alarm indicators and meters. “Main Settings”: is used to configure system-level macro settings. “Filter Settings” contains the settings that can be configured for each filter window. Never operate the system without adequate Load/Termination on the RF Tx Output. The UHF Narrowband Signal Booster will amplify until 120dB gain any input stimulus greater than Rx Threshold level (Squelch). The Web Server allows to Mute/Unmute Power Amplifier in “Main Settings” page. Make sure the power amplifier is unmuted before start with the test. CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC.

MARK-IV UHF NARROWBAND SIGNAL BOOSTER RF Exposure Information REVISION 0 SUBMITTED BY: CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC. May, 2011 CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC. (CTI) MARK-IV UHF NARROWBAND SIGNAL BOOSTER Page 2 of 3 Rev0 May/2011 RF Exposure recommendations The RF Field Strengths that an individual will be exposed to while doing maintenance is well below the limits set forth by the FCC & State Laws. Nevertheless, there are Safety Precautions that should be adhered when performing any RF Tests: 1. Never Operate a Transmitter, or Booster Amplifier without adequate Load/Termination on the Output Port. 2. Ensure all Connections are tight and secured. 3. Ensure all Coaxial Cable Insulation covers the Outer Shield of the cable. 4. Do Not Touch Exposed System Ports or Coaxial Cable if system is Transmitting. 38 RF Signs Sign Examples CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC. (CTI) MARK-IV UHF NARROWBAND SIGNAL BOOSTER Page 3 of 3 Rev0 May/2011 Maximum Antenna Gain The Input antenna and output antenna are not included with this equipment. Nevertheless, if this device is used in an application that requires direct connection to an antenna, Canam Technology recommends following the FCC guidelines for its installation. According to FCC rule § 1.1310 Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) are as follow: Table 1 – Limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) Frequency range (MHz) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Occupational Controlled Exposures 300-1500 f/300 General Population Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500 f/1500 The Maximum antenna gain is determined using the Friis transmission equation: where: = Power density (mW/cm2). = Output power (mW). = Antenna gain (linear scale). = Distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm The calculated Antenna Gain for r = 100cm the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is shown in Table 2. Table 2 – Limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) Frequency (MHz) Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) Occupational Controlled Exposures 480 16.04 General Population Uncontrolled Exposure 480 9.053 Antenna Installation should be performed by qualified technical personnel. The installations instructions are for the purpose of complying with FCC RF Exposure and are not optional. All antennas should be fixed mounted and physically secured to one location. Non-building mounted donor antennas must be greater than 10 meters above ground. CANAM TECHNOLOGY, INC.
