Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency
Interference Regulations
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect
wireless communications from interference. The FCC places digital
electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for
use in industrial-commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in
residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI)
products are FCC Class A products.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject
to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the Department of
Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless
interference in much the same way.) Digital electronics emit weak signals
during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless
products.
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one
paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired operation. The
FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A
products can be operated.
