8.7 APPROvAlS, COMPlIAnCE
Approvals and compliance are based upon testing that was done with antennas that are supplied with the
product The products within the TD200 system are substantially all manufactured in USA. These are the
approvals to date and other approvals are pending.
8.7.1 fCC RUlES
Contains FCC ID: ZH6-VRCOMM-HP / Contains transmitter module IC: 9686A-VRCOMMHP. All devices on
the system complies with Part 15 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. Normal operation as described by this guide does not
require a FCC license by the owner.
8.8 APPROvED ‘D’ CEll bATTERIES fOR TwIG UnITS
Alkaline 1.5 volt ‘D’ cell batteries are acceptable for use. Several factors affect the service life, including the
temperature and storage, depth of discharge cycles, and power voltage demand. The industry definition
of the service life of a battery is the period until it drops to 60% of its rated capacity. The battery voltage is
displayed as bars on the TWIG. Just remember that it is well worth using the highest quality batteries that
are available and plan on replacing them at the beginning of the season.
8.9 TD200 nETwORK/PROGRAM SPECIAl fEATURES
Network setup uses a self-discovery technology. TD200 must have power. The TD200 network is made
when a TWIG is placed in the setup (RESET) mode. The radios will search for available networks and
display on the TWIG the networks that are found. When the number that is wanted is ENTERED the ‘join’
process takes place within about 20 seconds. The TD200 can support 100 TWIG field modules and up to 9
repeaters.
