TMN-TX100Novariant Terralite XPS

This installation guide covers all models of the Novariant, TX100 Terralite, sold under FCC ID TMN-TX100. All transceiver models sold under FCC ID TMN-TX100 must be installed professionally on a fixed base. The device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 30 cm from all persons, and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The power line of this device may not be modified; the connector must remain as part of the installation and may not be removed for hard-wiring purposes. This device transmits on two separate frequencies: 915 MHz spread spectrum and 9.752 GHz spread spectrum. FCC Notification This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device must be operated as supplied by Novariant, Inc. Any changes or modifications made to the device without the express written approval of Novariant, Inc. may void the user’s authority to operate the device. This device complies with part 90 of the FCC rules. This device meets RF exposure rules described under parts 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1091 of the FCC Rules. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interferences when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Prior to operating these transmitters, users are legally required to obtain frequency licenses, as required by the country-of-use. Please contact your local communications governing agency for the transmitter licensing requirements. CAUTION This device has a maximum transmitted output power of 955 mW (915 MHz) and 632 mW (9.752 GHz). It is required that the transmit antennas be kept at least 30 cm away from nearby persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Novariant, Inc. All rights reserved.

Andrzej Skoskiewicz From: Anne E. Linton [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 6:14 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Andrzej Skoskiewicz; Stewart Cobb Subject: FW: Novariant Inc. equipment authorization issues - with rule section corrected Importance: High Page 1 of 4Message 1/23/2006 Dear Mr. Dwyer, Andrzej Skoskiewicz of Novariant asked me to assist in getting some information from the FCC related to Novariant’s equipment authorization process. As I understand matters, you had questions about several rule sections in Part 90. We took those questions to the FCC. We went to the Wireless Bureau and to the OET Lab in Columbia. The Bureau’s Tim Maguire deferred to the lab on the questions. This morning, Stan Lyles of OET sent the message that I am forwarding to you. He answers the pending questions. Please take a look at this message and let us know if you have any additional questions. As I am sure you know, this issue is somewhat time sensitive for Novariant, so anything you can do to help wrap this matter up would be most appreciated. Thank you very much for your help. If there is anything else you need, please let us know. Best regards, Anne Linton For Novariant, Inc.

Antennas-3.pdf Novariant, Inc. Novariant TX100 Transmit Antennas Depending on the geographical layout of the site, one of the following 3 Helix antennas will be used on TX100 transmitter. Tests were performed with 200-0240-01 antenna, which is the highest gain. Product will be shipped with 200-0240-02, which is the medium gain antenna. P/N: 200-0240-01 (used for testing) Gain: 12.6 dB HPBW: 20 degrees P/N: 200-0240-02 (default antenna on product) Gain: 10.4 dB HPBW: 55 degrees P/N: 200-0240-03 Gain: 9.0 dB HPBW: 75 degrees Furthermore, the unit is equipped with an internally mounted, 900 MHz radio modem (FCC ID: KNY-6231812519), which uses an externally mounted transmit/receive antenna by Antenex.

Lastly, the Novariant TX100 Transmitter uses 2 GPS receive-only antennas. Since they are receive only, no additional information is provided.

RF Category.pdf Novariant, Inc. Novariant TX100 RF Exposure Category Statement Novariant’s TX100 transmitters are specifically designed for use in open pit mines to provide positional information for equipment inside the pit. A pit may extend from few hundred yards to couple of miles across, and can exceed a thousand feet in depth. A typical pit is shown below (approximately ¾ of a mile in diameter and 500+ feet deep) in Figure 1. Figure 1: An open pit mine with a typical deployment (orange dots) of the TX100 transmitters. The above is a scenario only illustrating transmitter positioning. Double-benching is being used, making each “step” a 100 feet tall. Each TX100 Terralite Transmitter is positioned around the perimeter edge of the pit on a 8-10 foot tall support. The power to the transmitter is provided via a 20+ foot long power cable, connected to a solar cell controller/battery bank via a connector, as illustrated below in Figure 2. The transmitter is positioned facing the center of the pit. There’s a 50 to a 100 foot drop-off, immediately in front of the transmitter, therefore access to the transmit antenna is limited. RF Category.pdf Novariant, Inc. Figure 2: Typical deployment of a TX100 transmitter. The transmitter is mounted 8-10’ high off the ground on the edge of a 50-100’ tall cliff, known as high-wall. The main power connector is at the end of a 20 foot long cable, adjacent to the controller/battery box, which is fed by solar cells. The TX100 transmitter can be repositioned if the need arises (pit geometry changes, etc.), a rare event in itself. For practical purposes the TX100 transmitter is considered a stationary and fixed device. Access to the transmitter is limited since it is positioned within boundaries of an active mine operation. The transmitter can be turned off by disconnecting a connector on the power line prior to any service.

RF exposure.pdf Novariant, Inc. Novariant TX100 RF Exposure Calculation Note that the Novariant TX100 Terralite Transmitter contains two transmitting antennas, and two transmitters. One is designed & built by Novariant, used for positioning, and the second one is purchased an off-the-shelf component for receiving/transmitting differential updates. The off-the-shelf transmitter (radio modem) is built into our device and carries FCC ID: KNY-6231812519. This page contains RF exposure calculation for the Novariant transmitter. The remaining two pages contain RF exposure information for the FreeWave radio modem (FCC ID: KNY-6231812519) as supplied by the manufacturer. Calculation of FCC Exposure Limits per 47 CFR 1.1310 Transmitter specifications: Transmit power 632 mW Antenna Gain 12.6 dBic Duty Cycle (DC) 12.5% Limits from Table 1 of 47 CFR 1.1310: Power Density 5 mW/cm 2 Averaging Time 6 minutes Calculation: A worker stands 12 inches from the transmit antenna in the direction of maximum radiation. The peak power density is S pk = P t *Gt/(4pR 2 ) = 632 mW*18.2/(4*p*(30.48 cm) 2 ) = 0.985 mW/cm 2 The average power density in 6 minutes is S avg = S pk *DC = 0.123 mW/cm 2 This meets the FCC exposure limit by 16 dB. FreeWave Technologies Inc. FCC ID: KNY-6231812519 Maximum peak output power at antenna input terminal: 955 (mW) Prediction distance: 20 (cm) Predication frequency: 915 (MHz) MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency: 3.05 (mW/cm^2) Antenna Gain (typical): 5 (dBi) Maximum antenna gain: 3.16 (numeric) Power density at predication frequency at 20 cm: 0.60 (mW/cm 2 ) Test Result The EUT is defined to be a mobile device. Predicted power density level at 20cm is 0.60mW/cm^2 which is below the limit of 3.05 mW/cm^2. RF EXPOSURE According to §1.1307(b)(1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. According to §1.1310 and §2.1093 RF exposure is calculated.
