Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the TEC 3000
– for TEC 3000 systems that are not life supporting (See 5.2.2.2)
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and
the TEC 3000
The TEC 3000 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the TEC 3000 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the TEC 3000 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
NOTE:
Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed
and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this manual.
NOTE:
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment.
NOTE:
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of
transducer and cables sold by the manufacturer of this device as replacement parts for internal
components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the TEC 3000 Controller
NOTE:
The TEC 3000 Controller should not be used adjacent or stacked with other equipment and that if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the TEC 3000 Controller should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
DISPOSAL OF PRODUCT:
Stainless Steel Freezer:
Freezers used to store biological materials require decontamination prior to disposal. Contact CHART
MVE for decontamination information or reference page 147.
TEC 3000 Controller:
Local or national environmental laws and regulations may prohibit disposal of electrical and/or electronic
equipment such as the TEC3000 controller. Contact the local city or town offices for instructions on
proper disposal of electrical or electronic equipment. Alternately, CHART MVE may be contacted for
disposal information.
