5.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The term Electromagnetic Compatibility is taken to mean the capability of the product to function smoothly in
an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges are present, and without
causing electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment.
⚫ Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment. Although the product meets the
strict regulations and standards that are enforced in this respect, Hexagon Mining cannot completely
exclude the possibility that other equipment may be disturbed.
⚫ There is risk that disturbances may be caused in other equipment if the product is used in conjunction
with accessories from other manufacturers, for example field computers, personal computers, two-way
radios, non-standard cables, or external batteries.
⚫ Use only the equipment and accessories recommended by Hexagon Mining. When combined with the
product, they meet the strict requirements stipulated by the guidelines and standards. When using
computers and two-way radios, pay attention to the information about electromagnetic compatibility
provided by the manufacturer.
⚫ Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous measurements. Although the
product meets the strict regulations and standards which are enforced in this respect, Hexagon Mining
cannot completely exclude the possibility that the product may be disturbed by very intense
electromagnetic radiation produced by, for example, nearby transmitters, two-way radios, or diesel
generators.
⚫ Check the plausibility of results obtained under these conditions.
⚫ If the product is operated with connecting cables attached at only one of their two ends, the permitted
level of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded, and the correct functioning of other products may
be impaired.
⚫ While the product is in use, connecting cables must be connected at both ends.
