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.   
 
Per Industry Canada RSS210, the installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the 
antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health 
Canada limits for the general population. (Consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from 
Health Canada’s website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.)  These simple precautions must be 
taken to prevent general population and installation personnel from exposure to RF 
energy in excess of specified MPE levels. 
 
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. 
 
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 antennas listed below, 
and having a maximum gain of 16.0 dBi.  Antennas not included in this list or having a 
gain greater than 16.0 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required 
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
