APPROVALS: 
 
The Wireless CAN Bridge has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is 
operated in a commercial environment.  The Wireless CAN Bridge generates, uses, and 
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications and harmful 
microwave emissions.  To limit exposure radio frequency radiation, the CAN Bridge 
should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between 
the antenna and all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with 
any other antenna or transmitter. 
 
Operation of this equipment in a residential environment is likely to cause harmful 
interference to other residential devices in which case the user will be required to 
correct the interference at their own expense.   Changes or modifications not expressly 
approved by Matric could void the user’s authority to operate the Wireless CAN Bridge. 
 
The Wireless CAN Bridge has been tested and found to comply with European 
Community EMC Emissions and Immunity requirements (EN 300 328 and EN 301 489 
01). 
 
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 

undesired operation of the device. 

 

The Wireless CAN Bridge has been designed to operate with the antenna listed below, 
and having a maximum gain of 1 dB.  Antennas not included in this list or having a gain 
greater than 1 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna 
impedance is 50 ohms.
