 EXCEL V+ OPERATOR MANUAL

D2325, REV A, 2/19

Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration: Electromagnetic Immunity

The excel V+ is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of 
the excel V+ should ensure that it is used in such an environment.

Immunity Test

IEC 60601 Test Level

Compliance Level

Electromagnetic Environment: Guidance

Conducted RF 
IEC 61000-4-6

0.15 - 80 MHz

3 Vrms & 6 Vrms in 
ISM & amateur bands 
1 kHz

AC Mains

0.15 - 80 MHz

3 V rms & 6 Vrms in 
ISM & amateur 
bands 1 kHz

AC Mains

Portable and mobile RF communications 
equipment should be used no closer to any 
part of the excel V+, including its cables, 
than the recommended separation 
distance calculated from the equation 
applicable to the frequency of the 
transmitter.

Recommended Separation Distance
d = 1.17 

P

d = 1.17 

P 80MHz to 800MHz

d = 2.33 

P 800MHz to 2.5GHz

where P is the maximum output power 
rating of the transmitter in watts (W) 
according to the transmitter manufacturer 
and d is the recommended separation 
distance in meters (m).

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

(b)

.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of 
equipment marked with the following 
symbol:

Radiated RF
IEC 61000-4-3

Proximity field 
from RF wireless 
communications 
equipment 
IEC 61000-4-3

80 MHz - 2.7 GHz
3 V/m 80% @ 1 kHz

Spot frequencies 
385MHz – 5.750 GHz 
Pulse Modulation

80 MHz - 2.7 GHz
3 V/m 80% @ 1 kHz

Spot frequencies 
385MHz – 5.750 
GHz Pulse 
Modulation

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, 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.

(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land 
mobiles 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 excel V+ is used exceeds 
the applicable RF compliance level above, the excel V+ should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnor-
mal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the excel 
V+.

(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
