FCC Part 15 Class A EMC Testing for Vending Machine Telemetry and Cashless Controller Board

Project Description

Seeking an EMC testing laboratory to perform FCC Part 15 compliance testing on AtlasVT, a vending machine telemetry and cashless controller board. The testing will support a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC).

Product details:

Controller board measuring 85.6 x 54 mm, housed in a nylon (PA12) enclosure
Mounted inside commercial vending machines, at least 20 cm from people in normal use
Powered from the vending machine’s MDB bus at 20–42.5 V DC (34 V nominal) through a 6-pin MDB connector, with no mains connection
Radio: u-blox MAYA-W160-00B pre-certified Wi-Fi/Bluetooth LE module, used under its own modular FCC ID, with external antennas of ≤ 2 dBi from the module’s approved antenna list (U.FL to RP-SMA)
Optional separately certified USB LTE dongle, plugged into one of two USB-C ports
Also on board: Allwinner T113 processor running Linux, eMMC storage, STM32 microcontroller, buck converters, and a DEX port (1/4″ TRS jack)

Testing requested:

Primary: FCC Part 15 Subpart B, Class A (commercial equipment), covering radiated emissions and any applicable conducted emissions, for an SDoC
Secondary: radiated spurious emissions check of the finished product per KDB 996369, with the module’s radio transmitting, to confirm the modular approval still applies. No new FCC ID or radio certification is required, because the module keeps its own grant.
RF exposure assessment for the optional LTE dongle co-located with the module
Optional: ICES-003 for Canada, if it can be added at a small extra cost
A half-day pre-scan before formal testing, if available

Samples and support materials:
Two units will be available around mid-December 2026. The requester will provide continuous-transmit test mode instructions for the radio, a normal-operation demo mode with a one-page setup sheet, and the antennas and LTE dongle that will ship with the product. An MDB power pigtail with banana plugs will be supplied, plus a 24 V DC adapter if needed.

Quote requirements:
Please provide:

a fixed price for each item above
the earliest available test dates from late December 2026
lead time
deposit and credit card payment terms
rescheduling and re-test policies
confidentiality/NDA terms

The requester would like to book and prepay a test slot now.
