In North America, the Excalibur is compliant with both FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada RSS-210 standards. No
United States of America FCC or Industry Canada license is required for operation of FCC Part 15 or RSS-210
OCUs. These non-licensed OCUs are approved for use in the 902-928 MHz frequency band. See

for important details.
Other frequency bands including 450-470MHz are available and may require an operating license.
In Europe and other regions, the operating frequency will typically be in the 433-434 MHz or 869MHz license
exempt band; again, other licensed and unlicensed frequency bands are available.
The OCU is powered by a quick-swap rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack which connects to
the underside of the OCU.
In normal operation, a ‘STATUS’ LED (located centrally) flashes green at 1.25 second intervals. When the battery
voltage becomes low, the ‘STATUS’ LED flashes red at one second intervals to alert the operator that the battery
pack needs to be replaced or recharged. The ‘STATUS’ LED will also illuminate in a series of red blinking
sequences to indicate a specific OCU fault
– refer to OCU Fault/Status Messages for a table of these OCU
Fault/Status Messages.
In some
applications, four function LEDs located to the right and left of the ‘STATUS’ LED may be configured to
indicate when an OCU function command has been activated at the target machine, or to provide status indication
of machine state, via Talkback.
A global all-purpose plug-in battery pack charger, complete with battery adapter, is available for the OCU. This
allows Ni-MH Battery Packs to be charged from a power source between 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
