1. 3 Electromagnetic Compatibility
In order to ensure EMC compliance all electrical signal and data cables and connectors must
use a screened connector shell with a screened cable. The cable screen must be terminated
to the screened connector shell and not connected to any pins of the connector. Failure to
use the correct connector may compromise EMC compliance.
1. 4 EN55022 Declaration
BC1X00 units are a Class A product. In a domestic environment it may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
1. 5 FCC Declaration
This equipment 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. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at its own expense.
1. 6 RoHS Compliance
The BC1X00 is compliant with the EU RoHS directive 2002/95/EC. The RoHs directive bans
the use of six hazardous materials in products placed on the market after July 1
st
2006. The
six banned materials are Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls,
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Cadmium.
To ensure product reliability, the RoHS directive exempts Network Infrastructure Equipment
including the BC range, allowing the use of standard leaded solder; as such the BC range is
manufactured using leaded solder.
1. 7 Power Supply
The BC1X00 is powered by an internal mains-fed power supply. The mains input voltage is
100-250VAC, 50/400Hz with a maximum current of 50mA. The units are fitted with an
internal 1A fuse. Mains power is connected via an IEC inlet on the rear panel.
An alternative -48VDC power supply is available on all units as a custom order item. The
supply definition of the DC supply is minus 36 to minus 72 VDC, 200-100 mA. DC power is
supplied via a 3 pin Buccaneer socket fitted to the rear panel. A Buccaneer plug is supplied
with the unit for customer’s own wiring. The connections are labelled on the rear panel of the
BC1X00 as shown in the schematic below.
