1.1 RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS/ EXIGENCES
DE CONFORMITÉ DE L'EXPOSITION RF
The PTC-3000 family must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum
separation distance listed below between the radiating structure and any person.
Note that with Fixed installation with highest gain antenna of 14.1dBi, the antenna of the
product, under normal use condition, should be at 2.08 m away from the body of any user
for fixed installation.
Note that with Mobile installation with highest gain antenna of 5.2dBi, the antenna of the
product, under normal use condition, should be at 1.41 m away from the body of any user
for mobile installation.
The output power for fixed stations is factory set max limit at 45.5dBm on 220MHz antenna
ports. The maximum EIRP is 50.4dBm based on max gain antenna of 14.1dBi and cable
loss of 9.2dB. If user/installer exceeds this max EIRP, the installer must increase cable loss
and/or lower power accordingly. Note that output power is variable, and the actual power is
chosen at the time installation depending on cable losses, Antenna height and gain and
terrain as per FCC/ IC licensing procedures.
The output power for mobile stations is factory set max limit at 44.5dBm on 220MHz
antenna ports. The EIRP is is 46.9dBm based on max gain antenna of 5.2dBi and cable loss
of 2.8dB. If user/installer exceeds this max EIRP, the installer must increase cable loss
and/or lower power accordingly. Note that output power is variable, and the actual power is
chosen at the time installation depending on cable losses, Antenna height and gain and
terrain as per FCC/ IC licensing procedures.
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.
