EasyFuel Version 1.00 FCC Compliance page B FCC Compliance These devices (Easy Fuel system comprising SC, VID and NID) comply with Part 15, of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. These devices may not cause harmful interference, and 2. These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation NOTE: These equipments have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. These equipments generate, use and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If these equipments do cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Increase the separation between the equipments and receiver. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications in these equipments, not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (On Track Innovations Ltd,) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipments.

EasyFuel Version 1.00 Introduction page 4 1 Introduction 1.1 Concept Easy Fuel combines Long-range and Proximity RF technologies offering a revolutionary solution to gasoline management. Long range RF communication between the station fueling controller and the vehicles, combined with a short range proximity RF communication between the vehicles and the fueling nozzles, enable quick and easy secured controlled refueling transactions. The RF communication replaces hardwired communication between station components, hence greatly simplifying system installation at the gasoline station and reducing the maintenance expenses. EF system comprises three elements: • NID (Nozzle IDentification unit): A very low power RF transmitter, mounted on the refueling nozzles. The NID periodically transmit its ID when off hook. This ID is used to identify the specific requested nozzle to the station controller. • VID (Vehicle IDentification unit): The VID is mounted in the vehicle. It is connected to fuel inlet antenna to retrieve the Nozzle ID and to an RF antenna to communicate with the SC. • SC (Site Controller): The SC is usually mounted at the station office. It communicates with the vehicles VIDs via an RF antenna and with the station controller via serial communication line. 1.2 Operational Scenario. When a nozzle is inserted into a vehicle fuelling inlet, the vehicle VID reads the NID ID. Its Long-range transceiver communicates this nozzle ID, together with the Vehicle ID, to the Site Controller. The Site Controller transfers the NID and vehicle IDs information to the station controller to approve the refueling.
EasyFuel Version 1.00 Introduction page 5 When the nozzle is removed from the vehicle's fuel inlet, RF communication between the vehicle tag and the nozzle tag is interrupted. This information is transmitted to the Site Controller that routes it to the station controller that disables the fuel flow to the specific nozzle.
