4.2.4.0 General
The duty cycle, as defined in clause 4.2.4.1, shall be bound by the duty cycle limit in clause 4.2.4.2.
4.2.4.1 Definitions
For the purpose of the present document the term duty cycle refers to the ratio of the total on time of the "message" to
the total off time in any one hour period under repeated operation during the time measurement interval. The device
may be triggered either automatically or manually and depending on how the device is triggered will also depend on
whether the duty cycle is fixed or random.
4.2.4.2 Limits
In a period of 1 hour the duty cycle shall not exceed 10 %.
4.2.4.3 Conformance
For software controlled or pre-programmed devices, the applicant shall declare in the test report the duty cycle for the
equipment under test, not to exceed 10 %.
For manually activated or event dependant devices, with or without software controlled functions, the applicant shall
declare whether the device once triggered, follows a pre-programmed cycle, or whether the transmission is constant
until the activation mechanism is released or otherwise reset. The applicant shall also give a description of the
application for the device and include a typical usage pattern for maximizing duty cycle that would occur in a period of
1 hour. The typical usage pattern as declared by the applicant shall be used to determine the duty cycle, not to exceed
10 %.
Where an acknowledgement is required, the additional transmitter on-time shall be included and declared by the
manufacturer in the test report.

4.3 Receiver requirements
4.3.1 Receiver Classification
The product family of ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P radio devices is divided into three Equipment Classes, see table 3,
each having its own set of minimum performance criteria. This classification is based upon the impact on persons in
case the equipment does not operate above the specified minimum performance level. Applicable equipment
classification shall be specified by the manufacturer in the test report.

overcome by other means (e.g. manual)
NOTE: In particular where an ULP-AMI or ULP-AMI-P which may have an inherent safety of human life
implication, manufacturers and users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference
from other systems operating in the same or adjacent bands.
4.3.2 Blocking
4.3.2.0 General remaraks
The blocking, as defined in clause 4.3.2.1 shall not be less than the limits in clause 4.3.2.2.
4.3.2.1 Definition
Blocking is a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted modulated signal without exceeding a given
degradation due to the presence of an unwanted input signal at any frequencies other than those of the spurious
responses adjacent selectivity. Receivers implanted in a human body that use error detection coding and recognize a
limited command set such as pacemakers, defibrillators, etc., are not required to perform this test.
4.3.2.2 Limits
The blocking ratio, for any frequency within the specified ranges, shall not be less than the values given in table 4,
except at frequencies on which spurious responses are found. The limit value is determined by a reference limit (Ref)
plus a correction factor (dB) depending of the appropriate receiver classification.

4.3.2.0 General
The blocking, as defined in clause 4.3.2.1 shall not be less than the limits in clause 4.3.2.2.
4.3.2.1 Definition
Blocking is a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted modulated signal without exceeding a given
degradation due to the presence of an unwanted input signal at any frequencies other than those of the spurious
responses adjacent selectivity. Receivers implanted in a human body that use error detection coding and recognize a
limited command set such as pacemakers, defibrillators, etc., are not required to perform this test.
4.3.2.2 Limits
The blocking ratio, for any frequency within the specified ranges, shall not be less than the values given in table 4,
except at frequencies on which spurious responses are found. The limit value is determined by a reference limit (Ref)
plus a correction factor (dB) depending of the appropriate receiver classification.

4.2.1.1.1.1 The inductive loop coil transmitters These transmitters are characterized by: a) the loop coil antenna area A shall be < 30 m2; b) the length of any antenna loop element shall be 4λ< (< f75, where f is in MHz) or < 30 m whichever is shorter; c) antenna coil may have one or multiple turns. 4.2.1.1.1.2 Antenna types This equipment is defined according to the antenna types referenced in CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1]. Inductive loop coil transmitter, tested with an antenna as either: • an integral antenna (antenna type 1); or • a dedicated antenna supplied with the equipment (antenna type 2). The following restrictions apply to these antenna types: • 9 kHz to 315 kHz frequency range; SIST EN 302 195 V2.1.1:2016
ETSI ETSI EN 302 195 V2.1.1 (2016-06) 12 • no field customization of the antenna(s); • loop antenna area < 30 m2; and • the length of any antenna loop element shall be <λ4 (< 75f, where f is in MHz) or < 30 m whichever is shorter. The transmitter carrier and spurious are limited by the maximum generated H-field, (see clauses 4.2.1.1.2 and 4.2.3.2 respectively). Where a manufacturer provides a range of standard antennas, the equipment will be tested with each antenna attached. 4.2.1.1.2 Limits Maximum field strength under normal and extreme conditions is given in table 1. The limits for the maximum radiated field strength within the band 9 kHz to 315 kHz are provided in table 1. Table 1: H-field limits at 10 m Frequency range (MHz) H-field strength limit (Hf) dBμA/m at 10 m 0,009 ≤ f ≤ 0,315 30 NOTE: Systems operating below 135 kHz may alternately choose to show conformance according to the limits and technical standards specified in annex 9 of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1].
Additional information is available in CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1]. 4.2.1.1.3 Conformance Conformance test as defined in clause 5.3.1.1 of the present document shall be carried out. 4.2.2 Permitted range of modulation bandwidth 4.2.2.0 General The permitted range of operation frequencies, as defined in clause 4.2.2.1, shall not exceed the limits in clause 4.2.2.2. 4.2.2.1 Definition The modulation bandwidth contains all associated side bands above the following level: a) for carrier frequencies in the range of 9 kHz to 315 kHz, at the highest level of either: - 20 dB below the carrier, or - the appropriate spurious limit, see clause 4.2.3.2. Where the assigned frequency band has been divided into sub-bands by the regulatory body, the above measuring levels and bandwidths apply inside these sub-bands. Devices whose carrier level is below the spurious limit (clause 4.2.3.2), do not have a defined modulation bandwidth. 4.2.2.2 Limits The permitted range of the modulation bandwidth shall be within the limits of the 9 kHz to 315 kHz designated frequency band stated in annex 12 sub-band (a) of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1].

The applicant shall also give a description of the application for the device and include a typical usage pattern for maximizing duty cycle that would occur in a period of 1 hour. The typical usage pattern as declared by the applicant shall be used to determine the duty cycle, not to exceed 10 %. Where an acknowledgement is required, the additional transmitter on-time shall be included and declared by the manufacturer in the test report. 4.3 Receiver requirements 4.3.1 Receiver Classification The product family of ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P radio devices is divided into three Equipment Classes, see table 3, each having its own set of minimum performance criteria. This classification is based upon the impact on persons in case the equipment does not operate above the specified minimum performance level. Applicable equipment classification shall be specified by the manufacturer in the test report. Table 3 Receiver class Relevant receiver clauses Risk assessment of receiver performance
4.3.2 and 4.3.3 Highly reliable ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P communication media; e.g. serving human life inherent systems (may result in a physical risk to a person)
4.3.2 and 4.3.3 Medium reliable ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P communication media e.g. causing Inconvenience to persons, which cannot simply be overcome by other means
4.3.3 Standard reliable ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P communication media e.g. Inconvenience to persons, which can simply be overcome by other means (e.g. manual) NOTE: In particular where an ULP-AMI or ULP-AMI-P which may have an inherent safety of human life implication, manufacturers and users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference from other systems operating in the same or adjacent bands.
4.3.2 Blocking 4.3.2.0 General The blocking, as defined in clause 4.3.2.1 shall not be less than the limits in clause 4.3.2.2. 4.3.2.1 Definition Blocking is a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted modulated signal without exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted input signal at any frequencies other than those of the spurious responses adjacent selectivity. Receivers implanted in a human body that use error detection coding and recognize a limited command set such as pacemakers, defibrillators, etc., are not required to perform this test. 4.3.2.2 Limits The blocking ratio, for any frequency within the specified ranges, shall not be less than the values given in table 4, except at frequencies on which spurious responses are found. The limit value is determined by a reference limit (Ref) plus a correction factor (dB) depending of the appropriate receiver classification. SIST EN 302 195 V2.1.1:2016
