Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility Information
This hardware has been tested and found to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements and limits
for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as indicated in the hardware’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
1
.
These requirements and limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the hardware is operated in the intended electromagnetic environment. In special cases, for example
when either highly sensitive or noisy hardware is being used in close proximity, additional mitigation
measures may have to be employed to minimize the potential for electromagnetic interference.
While this hardware is compliant with the applicable regulatory EMC requirements, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. To minimize the potential for the hardware to
cause interference to radio and television reception or to experience unacceptable performance degradation,
install and use this hardware in strict accordance with the instructions in the hardware documentation and
the DoC
1
.
If this hardware does cause interference with licensed radio communications services or other nearby
electronics, which can be determined by turning the hardware off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient the antenna of the receiver (the device suffering interference).
•
Relocate the transmitter (the device generating interference) with respect to the receiver.
•
Plug the transmitter into a different outlet so that the transmitter and the receiver are on different branch
circuits.
Some hardware may require the use of a metal, shielded enclosure (windowless version) to meet the EMC
requirements for special EMC environments such as, for marine use or in heavy industrial areas. Refer to
the hardware’s user documentation and the DoC
1
for product installation requirements.
When the hardware is connected to a test object or to test leads, the system may become more sensitive to
disturbances or may cause interference in the local electromagnetic environment.
Operation of this hardware in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. Users are required to
correct the interference at their own expense or cease operation of the hardware.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the user’s right to
operate the hardware under the local regulatory rules.
