FCC Notice 
 

MicroWave 330 is classified as a field disturbance sensor. 
 
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15.245. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
 
This device may not cause harmful interference and this device must accept interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation. 
 
Notice: changes or modifications not expressly approved by Southwest Microwave, Inc. could void the 
user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

 

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 his own expense. 

 

 

RoHS Compliant 

 

Radiation Safety 

 
The allowable standard minimum of safe radiation exposure level in the United States as established by the 
American National Standards Institute is 10mW/cm

2

.  There is currently a proposal to drop this limit to 

1mW/cm

2

. The average Southwest Microwave sensor 

surface

 radiation level (when in operation) is 

approximately.0186mW/cm

2

 or 1/50 of the proposed lower standard.  This level rapidly dissipates at 

distances from the unit.  For example, at one meter, the figure reduces to .0012mW/cm

or 1/800 of the 

proposed level.
