Box 338 New Glasgow, Nova Scotia Canada B2H 5E3 Tel: (902) 752-5124 Fax: (902) 752-5955 April 4, 2013 Device: MacKay Guardian TM Solo: FCC ID: ZPZ0213MGSOLO To whom it may concern: The transmission for the parking meter are expected to be sporadic and limited to short durations for credit card transaction or service requests (a maximum of 400 bytes of data is transmitted which takes a few seconds). The body of users and bystanders are generally not expected to be closer than 20 cm to the meter for an extended duration; for example, more than 30 seconds, when the device is actively transmitting. The credit card transactions service requests are short duration (typically expected to have a total transmission time of much less than 1 second), additionally credit card-related transmissions are initiated approximately 3 seconds after the card is swiped so the person would typically have moved their hand from the proximity of the device. In accordance with guidance from FCC (included in this applications as a separate exhibit) FCC 2.1091(d)(4) is not required for both body and extremity (hand) exposure and evaluation as a portable device does not need to be considered for this device. RF exposure for this device is being based on mobile RF exposure conditions using an MPE calculation as provided below. This calculation presents a conservative estimate for the RF exposure from this device as it only takes into consideration the source-based duty cycle and does not also include any additional duty factor corrections for the short duration nature of the transmissions. Sincerely, Greg Chauvin, Director Engineering

J.J. MacKay Canada Limited 1342 Abercrombie Road P.O. Box 338 New Glasgow, Nova Scotia Canada B2H 5E3 Tel: (902) 752-5124 Fax: (902) 752-5955 MacKay Guardian TM Solo MPE Calculation RF Exposure Considerations for FCC ID: ZPZ0213MGSOLO The transmitter operation for FCC ID: ZPZ0213MGSOLO covers GSM850 and PCS1900 operating bands, and also contains independent 125kHz and 13.56MHz transmitters. The GSM850 and PCS1900 operation is provided by an integrated Q2687 Sierra Wireless module. The transmission for the parking meter are expected to be sporadic and limited to short durations for credit card transaction or service requests (a maximum of 400 bytes of data is transmitted which takes a few seconds). The distance between the GSM antenna and the operator, while GSM transmission occurs, is expected to be 20 cm or more. The elapsed time between operator activity (i.e. removal of credit card from the card reader) and GSM transmission is 3 seconds at which time the distance between the GSM antenna and the operator is much greater than 20cm. The parking meter will also send a GSM transmission for any service problems that occur in real time for maintenance purposes. The device supports GPRS and EGPRS but since GPRS is rated for higher power it will be used in the analysis as the worst case mode. MPE Calculation for 20cm compliance The FCC requires that the calculated MPE be equal to or less than a given limit dependent on frequency at a distance of 20 cm from a device to the body of a user. The MPE calculation as given in FCC OET Bulletin 65, page 19 is used to calculate the safe operating distance for the user. S = EIRP/4 π R 2 Where S = Power density EIRP (source base power) = Transmitter Power x Antenna gain R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna For GSM850 Transmitter frequency range = 824MHz to 849MHz Transmitter Maximum Avg Power (Q2687 module specified power) = 35dBm (3.2W) GPRS Class 10 operation reduces Tx power by 2/ 8 (time averaged power reduction of 2 uplink timeslots in 8). ie: Source Base Average Power = Transmitter Maximum Avg Power + 10 log(2/8) = 0.8W Antenna Gain = -1.7dBi (x 0.68) EIRP = 0.8 x 0.68 = 0.540W MPE Requirement From From OET Bulletin 65 table 1 (b) – Limits for General Population/ Uncontrolled Exposure of FCC Rule Part 1.1310 for GSM 850: S = f/1500 W/m 2 (f = operating frequency) S = 824/1500 = 0.55 mW/cm 2 (worst case) Calculation for GSM850 20cm safe distance Values: R = 20 cm EIRP = 540 mW S = EIRP/4 π R 2 S = 540/(12.56 x 20 2 ) = 540/ 5024 S = 0.1 mW/cm 2 Page 2 For PCS 1900 band Transmitter frequency range = 1850MHz to 1910MHz Transmitter Maximum Avg Power (Q2687 module specified power) = 32dBm (1.6W) GPRS Class 10 operation reduces Tx power by 2/ 8 (time averaged power reduction of 2 uplink timeslots in 8). ie: Source Based Average Power = Transmitter Maximum Avg Power + 10 log(2/8) = 0.4W Antenna Gain = -0.48dBi (x 0.89) EIRP = 0.4 x 0.89 = 360 mW MPE Requirement From From OET Bulletin 65 table 1 (b) – Limits for General Population/ Uncontrolled Exposure of FCC Rule Part 1.1310 for GSM 1900: S = 1.0 mW/cm 2 MPE Calculation Values: R = 20cm EIRP = 360 mW S =EIRP/4 π R 2 S = 360/(12.56 x 20 2 ) = 360/ 5024 S = 0.07 mW/cm 2 Page 3 For 125KHz and 13.56MHz Operation These transmitters operate independently of the GSM850 and PCS1900 transmitters. Also the 125KHz and 13.56MHz transmitters are not included in the RF exposure requirements of 2.1091(c) for product usage at >20cm operating distance (mobile) Conclusion FCC ID: ZPZ0213MGSOLO meets the FCC Rule Part 1.1310 RF exposure requirements Page 4
