2.6.2 Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
The Wireless CPU® device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver).
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as
radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the
general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is
determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is
because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the
network.
The GR64 Wireless CPU® device has been approved for applications where the
antenna is located >20cm from the body. In all other configurations the integrator is
responsible for meeting the local SAR regulations.
Integrators of the GR64 Wireless CPU® device are responsible for ensuring that they
meet the SAR regulatory requirements of the countries in which they intend to
operate the device, and that their documentation contains the relevant SAR
declaration, certification information, and user guidance as appropriate.
2.6.3 Personal Medical Devices
Wireless CPU® devices may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids
and certain other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is
maintained between the GR64 Wireless CPU®’s radiating antenna and a pacemaker,
the risk of interference is limited. If the integrator’s application is likely to be
situated in the vicinity of personnel, a suitable warning should be contained in the
equipment manual to this effect.
