Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

International................................. IEC 61326-1: Basic Electromagnetic Environment 
CISPR 11: Group 1, Class A 

Group 1: Equipment has intentionally generated and/or uses conductively-coupled radio 
frequency energy that is necessary for the internal function of the equipment itself. 
Class A: Equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those 
directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for 
domestic purposes. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic 
compatibility in other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances. 
Caution: This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not 
provide adequate protection to radio reception in such environments. 
Emissions that exceed the levels required by CISPR 11 can occur when the equipment is 
connected to a test object. 
The equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of this standard when test leads 
and/or test probes are connected. 

Korea (KCC) ............................... Class A Equipment (Industrial, Broadcasting, & 

Communication Equipment) 

Class A: Equipment meets requirements for industrial electromagnetic wave equipment and 
the seller or user should take notice of it. This equipment is intended for use in business 
environments and not to be used in homes.

 

USA (FCC).................................. 47 CFR 15 subpart B. This product is considered an exempt 

device per clause 15.103.
