To reduce potential radio interference to other users, select an antenna type with gain such
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted
for successful communication.
Industry Canada Conformity
This radio transmitter (IC: 864A-CCU100, IC:864A-CCU100A, IC:864A-CCU100B
and IC:864A-CCU100T, IC:864A-CCU100TA, IC:864A-CCU100TB) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed previously with
the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type
indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 864A-CCU100, IC:864A-CCU100A, IC:864A-
CCU100B et IC:864A-CCU100T, IC:864A-CCU100TA, IC:864A-CCU100TB) a été
approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-
dessus et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type
d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur
au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
Environmental Specifications
The following environmental specifications are associated with a collector or repeater.
Specification
Value
Operating temperature Components
GPS/WAN antenna system: -33° C to 60° C
CCU/repeater: -33° C to 60° C
Storage temperature -40° C to 85° C
Note Batteries may be stored for up to two years at 25° C without periodic recharging. When
batteries are stored at this temperature, conduct an open circuit voltage audit every six months.
If the storage temperature is significantly higher than 25° C, increase the frequency of the
audits.
Humidity 0 to 90% non-condensing
