GPR Emissions, Interference and Regulations
All governments have regulations on the level of electromagnetic emissions that an
electronic apparatus can emit. The objective is to assure that one apparatus or
device does not interfere with any other apparatus or device in such a way as to
make the other apparatus non-functional.
The manufacturer tests their GPR products using independent professional testing
houses and comply with latest regulations of the USA, Canada, European
Community, and other major jurisdictions on the matter of emissions.
Electronic devices have not always been designed for proper immunity. If a GPR
instrument is placed in close proximity to an electronic device, interference may
occur. While there have been no substantiated reports of interference to date, if
any unusual behavior is observed on nearby devices, test if the disturbance starts
and stops when the GPR instrument is turned on and off. If interference is
confirmed, stop using the GPR.
Where specific jurisdictions have specific GPR guidelines, these are described below.
B-1 FCC Regulations
