We evaluated TVRFL4 serial number (S/N) 10 (with ThermaViewer RF S/N WS11652 as auxiliary equipment), WS4HETMETM S/N 5, WS4HETC S/N 1, WS4IPR S/N 7, and WS4ITMIHM S/N 6, and WS4HITMIHM S/N 8, using: • ANSI C63.4-2003 to determine their compliance with the US’s FCC 47 CFR Part 15- 2008. • CAN/CSA-CEI/IEC CISPR 22:02 to determine their compliance with Canada’s Industry Canada (IC) ICES-003:2004. To get the TVRFL4 and ThermaViewer RF to comply with these standards, we had to put a Steward 28A0640-0A2 snap-on ferrite on the ThermaViewer RF’s Data Cable. With this modification, the data in the attached report shows that these units comply with all of the: • FCC 47 CFR Part 15-2008 Class B requirements for unintentional radiators. • IC ICES-003 Class B requirements for unintentional radiators. Therefore all of these units— including the ThermaViewer RF— may be considered FCC/IC Class B Verified. We evaluated WS4TX Transmitter Module S/N 11, using: • ANSI C63.4-2003 to determine its compliance with the US’s FCC 47 CFR Part 15- 2008. • RSS-Gen Issue 2 (June 2007) to determine its compliance with Canada’s Industry Canada (IC) RSS-210 Issue 7 (June 2007). To get the WS4TX to comply with these standards, we had to make R14 = 39 kohms, C1 = 0.1uF, and C19 = 330pF. With these modifications, the data in the attached report shows that the WS4TX meet all of the requirements for: • FCC Certification under FCC 47 CFR Part 15-2008 section 15.231(e). • IC Certification under RSS-210 Issue 7 (June 2007) section A1.1.5. dBi Corporation 216 Hillsboro Ave. Lexington, KY 40511-2105 10dBi030a page 2 of 2 Test report 10dBi030a contains: • Administrative information for the TVRFL4, WSHETMETM, WS4HETC, WS4IPR, WS4ITMIHM, WS4HITMIHM, and WS4TX. • A sample FCC/IC Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for the TVRFL4, WSHETMETM, WS4HETC, WS4IPR, WS4ITMIHM, and WS4HITMIHM. • Information relating to product RF Interference for the TVRFL4, WSHETMETM, WS4HETC, WS4IPR, WS4ITMIHM, WS4HITMIHM, and WS4TX. • Radiated and conducted interference test results for the TVRFL4, WSHETMETM, WS4HETC, WS4IPR, WS4ITMIHM, WS4HITMIHM, and WS4TX. • Descriptions of the test and measuring equipment used. • Pictures of the test setups.

P O Box 159 • Crestwood, KY 40014 • (502) 243-0042 • (502) 243-0039 fax www.e2di.com • [email protected] ATCB October 28, 2010 Dear Application Examiner, Two Dimensional Instruments WS4TX , FCC ID: YVGWS4TX, would like to have your authorization for Module Approval specific to the low power transmitter. The requirements of Public Notice DA00-1407 have been met and shown on the following statement s. 1. “The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding.”: The modular transmitter has an integral RF shielding in the PCB 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. 2. “The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs.” Data inputs are buffered by the rfPIC12F675 input circuitry and the transmitter is under software control. This ensures the data packet length and data rate is limited and remains compliant with Part 15 requirements. Any analog data is buffered and converted to a digital form for transmission, thus preventing possible over modulation. 3. “The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation.” The module has an on board voltage regulator which powers the microcontroller and transmitter circuitry. 4. “The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of section 15.203 and 15.204(C).” The antenna is a PCB trace on the module and is permanently attached to the module. 5. “The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration” The module was tested in a stand-alone configuration using a typical interface PCB to provide battery power and signals to the module for testing. 6. “The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number.” P O Box 159 • Crestwood, KY 40014 • (502) 243-0042 • (502) 243-0039 fax www.e2di.com • [email protected] See label and label location drawing contained in this application. The label is visible on the module and appropriate instructions are given in the user manual for end users who incorporate the module in the final product. 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.” The WS4TX module is software controlled and the software controlling the transmitter functionality is not controllable by the end-user and thus all modules will meet these requirements. 8. “The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements.” The WS4TX module meets all the requirements and is shown in dBI Corporation Test Report.
