Update to reflect review comment about antennae and professional

installation.

Update to address review comment – “The user guide shows a pwoer level of

14 (dBm?) on page V02. Thus indicagting that the 12 dBm max power stated in

the rf exposure exhibit can be exceeded by the user. Please justify how the 12

dBm maximum in the rf exposure exhibit cannot be set to the 14 dBm shown

in the user manual. PLeaase make all documentation consistent in this

regard.”

Update to address review comment – “Upon reviewing the test reports setup photos and

operational description it was seen that the transmitter has a cable from which DC is provided. The

photos indicate that a battery was used. However, it is not clear if the power cable can also be

connected to an AC battery elimiator or other DC supply obtaining power from an AC line source. If

this is possible, please have AC line conducted testing performed and submit the missing data. If it is

not possible to connect the DC cable of the transmitter to a battery eliminator or other AC derived DC

power, please provide an attestation so declaring and provide information as to how only a battery

can be used with the device.”

Update to address review comment – “Please add the required statement per

FCC 15.21,

"Per FCC 15.21, The user manual or instruction manual for an intentional or

unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

user's authority to operate the equipment."

Please revise the section regarding the antennas to follow the requirements in

RSS-GEN 6.8:

This user guide focuses on configuration of Rhino transmitter and receiver units. Installation and

mechanical setup of these units is not described in this document and is out of scope. Typically, Rhino

system is preconfigured in factory.

FCC Caution 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.

Configuration application supports configuration of radio, ADC and MEMS accelerometer. This guide focuses on radio configuration. Rhino devices are typically preconfigured at the factory and rarely reconfigured in the field. If at all reconfigured, only parameters that require reconfiguration are radio parameters. These are described below. Configuration Parameters Channel Transmit Time Transmit Power V0.2 Parameter selects channel on which unit will transmit.

Preamble Bytes The radio transceiver as part of its packet transmission protocol generates a set of preamble bytes to synchronize transmitter and receiver units. The actual data packet is transmitted after the preamble bytes. This parameter configured the number preamble bytes transmitted. Rhino Receiver Rhino Receivers are paired with Rhino Transmitters and are configured to receive data from a particular transmitter.
PAGE 7
Installation Rhino system is designed to operate in rugged industrial environments. These devices will be subjected to extreme conditions such as extreme weather, dust and vibration shock etc. Rhino devices are installed in environments where industrial safety is paramount. Rhino transmitters are installed on drilling shafts and improper installation could result in industrial safety incidents.
