exceed the following environmental conditions:
o Temp: 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F)
o Humidity: 85% non-condensing
 Only 24VDC, UL 294 (ALVY) compliant power supplies such as Altronix model AL600ULPD4 can be used to power Elpas Infrastructure
Products
Note: All circuits must be power limited.
 Elpas Outdoor RF Readers (Elpas PNs: 5-RFB00433-6 and 5-ELC00433-4) can only be installed in exterior building locations that do not
exceed the following environmental conditions:
o Temp: -35°C to 66°C (-31°F to 151°F)
o Humidity: 20% to 95% non-condensing

Limitations
Elpas Healthcare applications which are designed for hospitals assisted living and nursing care facilities for the protection of staff personnel,
patients or residents are not UL 294 compliant.
Specific Conditions
 Elpas End-of-the Line Terminators (Elpas P/N: 5-IOX00001) are not evaluated for use in UL 294 Compliant Installations by Underwriters
Laboratories. Therefore, supervised inputs are for non UL applications only.
 High-Power LF Beacons need to be powered locally and should not share the same power supply with any other Elpas Fixed
Infrastructure Product.
Note: Applies to the following Elpas P/Ns: 5-RLF00001-3, 5-RLF00001-31 and 5-RLF00001-32.
 To ensure RF detection reliability the read range installation grids for all Local Controllers and RF Readers need to be designed so that
received messages from the Active RFID Tag does not fall below a RSSI Value of 121 (-90dBm).
Note: Applies to the following Elpas P/Ns: 5-RFB00433, 5-RFB00433-1, 5-RFB10433-2, 5-RFB10433-5,5-RFB00433-6, 5-ELC00433-1, 5-ELC10433-2,
