This material is preliminary Information furnished by Fortronics™ Limited in this specification is believed to be accurate. Fortronics™ Limited makes no warranty, express, statutory, and implied or by description, regarding the information set forth herein. Fortronics™ Limited reserves the right to change specifications at any time and without notice. Fortronics™ Limited ’s products are intended for use in normal commercial and industrial applications. Applications requiring unusual environmental requirements such as military, medical life-support or life-sustaining equipment are specifically not recommended without additional testing for such application. . . . . . Safety Precautions Proper operation of this will result in user exposure to radiation well below that described by international and local authorities. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed at locations where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and all persons. DO NOT hold the unit such that the antenna is very close to, or touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. DO NOT key the transmitter when not actually desiring to transmit DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter DO NOT operate the transmitter near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use . . . . . Service Precautions The modules contain CMOS devices that may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charges up to 35,000 volts may be present at the workbench and on synthetic clothing. Since CMOS devices may be damaged by charges as low as 50volts, it is imperative that proper ESD safe practices be followed when working on the units. . . . . . Unauthorized Modifications The units have been designed to comply with strict radio frequency performance regulations. In order to continue good performance and prevent interference with other users and electrical equipment, it is imperative that no changes or alterations be made to the units without the express approval of Fortronics™ Limited. User Manual – North America Version 1.1 - 3 - . . . . . Compliance Statement 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. . . . . . Information to the User Note: This equipment 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. . . . . .

It works by giving forestry contractors a remote-release option that allows the operator to be safely separated from the most hazardous part of the recovery process. With the simple press of a button, the Choker Bell releases the Choker Wire as soon as the log has been dragged to its required position. This removes a man from a dangerous situation among unstable timber, and leaves the Choker Bell ready for the next haul. System Overview Specifically desig…

Calculations have been made using the General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure limits. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. Power density, W/m 2 = E 2 /3770 - Occupational / Controlled Exposure limit will be 1.46 mW/cm 2 (f/300 = 440 MHz/300) - General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limit will be 0.29 mW/cm 2 (f/1500 = 440 MHz/1500) The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain, transmitter duty cycle and separation distance in metres: E, V/m = (√ (30 * P * G)) / d Controlled Uncontrolled E = 1.46 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E = 0.29 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √1.46*3770 E= √0.29*3770 E = 74.2 V/m E = 33.1 V/m The rated maximum transmitter power = 70 microwatts (-11.5 dBm). Transmitter operated using a quarter wave whip antenna with a gain of 2.15 dBi (1.64). The transmitter is keyed using a manual keypad and would typically be used with a duty cycle of 50%. Controlled Uncontrolled d = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E d = √ (30 * 7e-5 * 1.64 * 0.5) / 74.2 d = √ (30 * 7e-5 * 1.64 * 0.5) / 33.1 d = 0.0002 metres or 0.02 cm d = 0.001 metres or 0.1 cm Result: Complies
