APCD-LM043-4.0 xvii
Operational Requirements
CCU and EUM
In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum peak power output of the intentional radiator shall not exceed
one (1) watt for all spread spectrum systems operating in the 902 to 928MHz
band. This power is measured at the antenna port of the CCU or the EUM.
2. Stations operating in the 902 to 928MHz band may use transmitting antennas
of directional gain greater than 6dBi, provided the peak output power from the
intentional radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of
the antenna exceeds 6dBi.
NOTE: The gains referred to in point 2 are with respect to the total
antenna system gain.
3. The operator of a spread spectrum system and the user of the radio device
are each responsible for ensuring that the system is operated in the manner
outlined in Interference Environment on page xvi.
Warnings and Advisories
General Advisory
Operator and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety requirements
before they attempt to install or operate the LMS4000 equipment.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the public is not exposed to excessive
Radio Frequency (RF) levels. The applicable regulations can be obtained from local
authorities.
Do not operate the CCU or EUM without connecting a 50-ohm termination to the antenna port.
This termination can be a 50-ohm antenna or a 50-ohm resistive load capable of absorbing the
full RF output power of the transceiver.
WARNING!
The LMS4000 external antennas must be professionally
installed and properly grounded. Antennas and associated
transmission cable must be installed by qualified personnel.
WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to adhere to this
recommendation or to recognized general safety precautions.
