Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Requirements
The United States Communication Act of 1934 vested the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
with the authority to regulate equipment that emits electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency
spectrum. The purpose of the Communication Act is to prevent harmful electromagnetic interference
(EMI) from affecting authorized radio communication services. The FCC regulations that govern
industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment are fully described in 47 CFR, §18, §§C.
Novanta lasers have been tested and found to comply by demonstrating performance characteristics
that have met or exceeded the requirements of 47 CFR, §18, §§C for Radiated and Conducted Emissions.
FCC Information to the user
The following FCC information to the user is provided to comply with the requirements of 47 CFR, §18,
§§ 213 Information to the user.
Interference Potential
In o
ur testing, Novanta has not discovered any significant electrical interference traceable to our lasers.
System Maintenance
Ensure that all exterior covers are properly fastened in position.
Measures to Correct Interference
If you suspect that your laser interferes with other equipment, take the following steps to minimize this
interference:
1
Use shielded cables to and from the equipment that is experiencing interference problems.
2
Ensure that the laser is properly grounded to the same electrical potential as the equipment or
system it is connected to.
FCC caution to the user
The Federal Communications Commission warns the user that changes, or modifications of the unit not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
