Full administrative rights are required on the host PC in order to install and setup the WiZARD2 system. We recommend against using this system on a PC with more than one user login. 2. We strongly recommend that the PC hosting the WiZARD2 software and Receiver be a dedicated PC that is not used for other wireless or SQLite applications (wireless devices such as a mouse and keyboard will not interfere with the WiZARD2). Firefox, Internet Explorer and other software applications that use SQLite have been found to compete for resources and can lock up the PC. 3. The host PC screen saver should be disabled and power options should be set to NEVER for “Turn Off Hard Disk”, “System Standby” and “Enable Hibernation”. 4. This system has been tested on and approved for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 PC’s 5. Before you begin installation, have the Receiver, Logger(s) and any Repeater(s) at the base computer where you plan to install the WiZARD2 Software and Receiver. 6. Logger/Receiver/Repeater signal strength performs best when mounted high up on a wall or on the ceiling. 3 System Component Overview: Host PC:  PC where the WiZARD2 Software and Receiver are installed and Loggers and Repeaters are setup.  Only one WiZARD2 System can operate on one PC at any time.  To view logged data from more than one PC, the host PC and non host PCs must be connected to a network and the non host PCs must have WiZARD2 Network Software installed. See section 11 below for more information.  This PC must be on 24/7 in order for the WiZARD2 system to operate properly.  It is recommended that the host PC be rebooted occasionally to keep things running smoothly. There will not be any lost data while rebooting  Individuals installing and setting up the WiZARD2 system must have full administrative rights on the host PC.  USB Connection: Best when connected to primary USB. Will not operate on an unpowered USB hub. WiZARD2 Software:  Software is included with the Receiver and is required to setup, manage and view all Loggers, Repeaters and saved logged data.  Stores all logged data points for viewing via graphs and tables in an encrypted database.  Must run 24/7 on host PC in order for WiZARD2 system to operate properly. Receiver (WR220/225):  WR220 features WiZARD2 Software. WR225 features WiZARD2 SECURE 21CFR11 Compliant Software.  The Receiver forwards data packets from the Loggers to the WiZARD2 database.  Must always be on and connected to the PC via a USB cable. It is recommended that it be powered via the AC adapter and have Backup Batteries installed.  Receivers do not require calibration. Logger (WT200/220/240/WH220/225/245):  Take temperature or temperature/humidity sample points at regular intervals and send those readings to the Receiver at regular transmission intervals.  Loggers are setup via USB at the host PC.  Have a practical operating range of up to 200 ft from Receiver. Any metal infrastructure or other wireless devices will significantly reduce operating range.  Will save logged data when communications with the Receiver have been interrupted. Once communications are restored, saved logged data will be sent.  Loggers should be calibrated every 6 to 12 months. 4 Repeater (WA200):  Extends the distance of a Logger from the Receiver by forwarding the data packet from the Logger to the Receiver.  Must be setup in the WiZARD2 Software in order to operate.  Logger(s) must be told to send data packet to the Repeater not the Receiver.  Repeater can forward data packets for multiple Loggers.  Repeaters can forward data packets to another Repeater.  Repeaters do not require calibration. Signal Sensor (WS200):  Allows the user to dete…

930 S Westwood Ave  Addison, IL 60101-4917  Phone 630-543-3747  Fax 630-543-0498 FCC LIMITED MODULAR APPROVAL REQUEST Date: 1/29/2010 Time: 13:14:11 To: FCC Authorization & Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 2 I 045 -0429 From: Dean A. Tjaden Jr. Senior Engineer Applicant: Dickson Company Phone: 630-563-4254 email: [email protected] Subject: Request for Limited Modular Approval for FCC ID: VOH-62831853 To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, June 26,2000, Dickson Company hereby requests Limited Modular Approval for FCC ID: VOH-62831853. The following response addresses the needs to demonstrate compliance with this Public Notice. 1) The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. Shielding: The RF section of the module is contained on one circuit board that is connected to the Main PCB by a dual inline connector. Both sides of the module PCB have ground planes that are heavily interconnected with via’s. 2) The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. 930 S Westwood Ave  Addison, IL 60101-4917  Phone 630-543-3747  Fax 630-543-0498 Buffered Modulation: Data from the host does not directly modulate the transmitter. Data is sent as SPI buss commands. The microprocessor uses these commands to generate the modulation. Please see the Theory of Operation and Block Diagram. 3) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. Power Supply: The RF Module is not for sale or use outside the Dickson Company. It is only to be used in products designed and manufactured by or for the Dickson Company. The module receives its power from the host circuit board. The host circuit board has its own 3.3V regulator from which the transmitter module is powered. In addition there are bypass capacitors for noise filtering and reduction on the module PCB. 4) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a "unique" antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The "professional installation" provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. Antenna Requirements: The antenna is etched onto the module PCB. There are no attachment points for external antennae. 5) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section1 s.3 1 (i)). Test as a Module: The Module is not to be sold as a module. It is intended only for Dickson Company internal use. 930 S Westwood Ave  Addison, IL 60101-4917  Phone 630-543-3747  Fax 630-543-0498 6) The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: "Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODELI" or "Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1." Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Labeling: Every module will be labeled with the following: FCC ID: VOH- 62831853 Dickson Company Since the module is internal to the completed product, and not visible to the user, a label with the following notice will be placed on the outside of the case for all products containing the module: Contains FCC ID: VOH- 62831853 7) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met…
