User's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Because of the nature of wireless communication, transmission and reception of data can never

be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant

delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the ViPR are used in a normal

manner with a well-constructed network. ViPR should not be used in situations where failure to

transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party,

including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. CalAmp accepts no

responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or

received using ViPR, or for the failure of ViPR to transmit or receive such data.

Products offered may contain software proprietary to CalAmp. The offer of supply of these

products and services does not include or infer any transfer of ownership. No part of the

documentation or information supplied may be divulged to any third party without the express

written consent of CalAmp.

RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

The ViPR radio is intended for use in the Industrial Monitoring and Control and

SCADA markets. The ViPR unit must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum

separation distance listed in the table below between the radiating structure and any person.

An antenna mounted on a pole or tower is the typical installation and in rare instances, a 1/2-

wave whip antenna is used.

Note: It is the responsibility of the user to guarantee compliance with the FCC MPE

regulations when operating this device in a way other than described above.

The ViPR radio uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an

antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the antenna when the

transmitter is operating.

The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does

not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended

safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are

contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

(in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
