WES Mesh Wireless System Operations Manual
FCC POWER OUTPUT RESTRICTIONS
The FCC does not require licensing to implement this device. License-free operation in
the industrial, scientific, and medical band is documented in FCC Rules Part 15.247. It
is the responsibility of the individuals designing and implementing the radio system to
assure compliance with any pertinent FCC Rules and Regulations. This device must be
professionally installed.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS
The WES Mesh is designed to operate on the 900 MHz, 2.4 & 5 GHz frequency bands
with up to 50 Watts EIRP maximum transmit power. This level of RF energy is above
the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET65:97-01. The
following precautions must be taken during installation of this equipment:
•
The installed antenna must not be located in a manner that allows exposure of
the general population to the direct beam path of the antenna at a distance
less than 1 Meter. Installation on towers, masts, or rooftops not accessible to
the general population is recommended; or
•
Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the
area within 1 Meter from the front of the antenna.
•
It is recommended that the installer place radio frequency hazard warnings
signs on the barrier that prevents access to the antenna.
•
During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the
antenna assembly.
•
During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the
front of the antenna.
These simple precautions must be taken to prevent general population and installation
personnel from exposure to RF energy in excess of specified MPE levels.
INDUSTRY CANADA RESTRICTIONS
This device is in compliance with the applicable sections of the Industry Canada RSS-
210 Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standard Specification that
governs Low Power License-Exempt Radio communication Devices. Specifically, the
output EIRP of this device relative to antenna gain is factory set to ensure compliance
with section 6.2.2(q1)(iv)(g).
In addition, it is noted for all users that high power radars are allocated as primary
users (meaning they have priority) of the 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz
frequency bands and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LELAN
devices such as are covered by this manual.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTIONS OF WIRELESS DEVICES
KBC products are engineered to the highest standards and designed to work in a
variety of wireless applications and environments. A wireless environment includes the
site in which the product is installed, the installation itself and any extra materials that
might be necessary to complete the wireless project. Due to the fact that environments
and installations differ from site to site, KBC cannot control the variables required to
ensure an ideal environment. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee a successful
application based on a drawing, application note, quote or other type of material that
KBC may provide. Should a quote, drawing, etc. be made available, it is based on the
performance of the Mesh product in an ideal environment with clear line-of-sight,
absence of 900 MHz, 2.4 and/or 5 GHz interference and/or frequency multi-path
reflection. Therefore, KBC cannot be held responsible should the products not operate
as desired or should additional products be required to complete a project. In addition,
should a particular environment restrict the usage of the Mesh node in any way, KBC
offers a thirty (30) day return policy from date of original shipment (see page 3) to the
original purchaser.
