Hi Guys, I had to many email responses to thank you all individually!
The result was some misunderstanding and lack off "full" details when applying to the vehicle authority to make a decision on whether our product was applicable to this Directive. However, another matter cropped up. How to test!! The POS terminal consists of a Top Unit which houses the GSM/GPRS and main electronics. This top sits on a charging base, normally via a AC/DC power supply to commercial mains supply but in the case for vehicles it will use the Cigarette lighter holder or hard wired into the vehicle voltage system It has been agreed that this terminal should be tested in it's standby mode of operation i.e. sitting on it's charging base, but not during a transaction. A transaction would only be done i.e. connection to the GSM network, when the vehicle e.g. taxi, is stopped and parked safely (since when do taxis park safely!!). Note: In my opinion, to meet the emissions in GSM transmit mode I believe would be near impossible. An alternative method would have been to get the Base charger approved and to use the Top GSM and main electronics part off the base when doing a transaction, just like a mobile phone. Any comments?
