ATTENTION

— This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna

or transmitter.

!

ATTENTION

Professional Installation Notice:

To comply with FCC Part 15 rules in the United States,

the system must be professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the
responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified systems are deployed in
the United States. The use of the system in any other combination (such as co-located antennas transmitting
the same information) is expressly forbidden.

RSS-247, Issue 2 of ISED

This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation,

Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause unde-

sired operation of the device.

L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme
aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada applicables aux ap-
pareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:

1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;

2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est

susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

This device has been designed to operate with dipole antennas having a maximum gain

of 8.5 dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 8.5 dBi are strictly prohibited for use

with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio

interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for suc-
cessful communication. That the device for the band 5,150-5,250 MHz is only operated
indoors to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.

3.2 Intended Use of the Product

The EchoRing Ethernet Bridge (device) enables a time-critical and reliable wireless link

between Ethernet-based industrial protocol devices. It can be employed for:

• Replacing cable-based network infrastructure with a wireless connection in machinery,

vehicles and devices, enabling simplified infrastructure and flexible operations.

• Replacing network cables between moving structures or components in machinery,

vehicles and devices in order to reduce weight, size and use of installation space, as
well as wear and tear on network infrastructure.

ATTENTION

— This radio device is intended for transmitting wireless data. It is furthermore intended to

be used for low latency and/or high reliability data communications. When using device, be mindful of the
general behavior and physics of the wireless channel. Abrupt or predictable changes in the operational
environment, such as movement of people or objects, and the presence of interfering devices, can result in
reduced wireless signal quality and failed data transmissions. Thus,

when used in critical applications,

where the result of poor wireless connectivity can cause severe human injury or economic

damage, intended operations cannot rely solely on this device

. A comprehensive system solution,

such as an integrated wired failsafe in case of poor wireless connectivity, must be installed and tested to
the level of intended application’s importance.
