1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPE

This document describes the implementation of the FCC compliant Vehicle Transponder for the ARC
customer identification system. The scope of this document includes the performance requirements
for the U.S. vehicle transponder and the interface definition between the transponder and other major
assemblies in the ARC system.

If anything in this document is ambiguous or incorrect, it should be immediately reported to the
Project Managers for the ARC Team, and corrected. The document should then be approved by all
the concerned individuals on the cover page and redistributed to all parties involved.

1.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The hierarchy of documentation pertaining to the ARC system is depicted below. As this table
appears in each of the documents, it is important that revisions to any document in the family be
reflected in this table.

2. FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

The ARC system, when installed in a fuel dispenser which offers pay-at-the-pump functionality,
provides hands-free identification of a customer and/or the customer’s vehicle. The system offers
pay-at-the-pump convenience, without requiring the insertion of a credit card or any keypad entries.

The U.S. Vehicle Transponder is the component of the system placed in the customer's vehicle. When
activated by a ARC dispenser, the transponder provides identification and authentication data via a
radio frequency link to the dispenser. An overview of the complete ARC system is provided in the
ARC System Specification, 06-01-02-700.

2.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

An overview of the U.S. vehicle transponder is depicted in Figure 2-1 below. The major functional
blocks of the transponder are the downlink network, the processor, and the uplink network.
