Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey,
a
should be less than the compliance level
in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the symbol shown below:
NOTE: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the WaveWriter
Alpha or WaveWriter Alpha Prime System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the WaveWriter Alpha or WaveWriter Alpha
Prime System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocating the WaveWriter Alpha or WaveWriter Alpha Prime System.
Immunity Testing - RFID Readers
The external electrical components of the WaveWriter Alpha and WaveWriter Alpha Prime Systems have been tested for immunity to interference
from RFID readers per the following specifications.
