COMMUNICATIONS REGULATION INFORMATION 

RF Exposure 

Professional installation of this device is required.

 The radio equipment described in this guide 

emits radio frequency energy.  Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a 
directional antenna may pose a health hazard. The following minimum distances apply in both 
indoor and outdoor environments.  

This device uses a 220 MHz (Part 90) internal antenna and the device must be mounted such that 
a Minimum Distance of 20 cm from the top of the device is maintained from the general public. 

This internal antenna can be replaced with one of the external antennas shown in the table below. 
Only the antennas listed in this section are approved for use with this device.

UL/CSA Notice 

The transceiver has been recognized for use the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA 
Certification is in accordance with CSA CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 & ANSI/UL 60950-1-2002. 

UL/CSA Conditions of Approval 

This device is approved for use in locations that are rated Overvoltage category I through III (IEC 
60664-1). Equipment with an impulse withstand voltage corresponding to overvoltage category III is 
for use in the fixed installation downstream of, and including the main distribution board, (IEC 
60364-4-443). 

The transceiver is not acceptable as a standalone unit.

 It must be mounted within the following 

conditions of approval: 

1.  Installation, operation and maintenance of the transceiver should be in accordance with the 

transceiver’s installation manual, and the National Electric Code. 

2.  When installed, this equipment must be protected with an external disconnect device and 

branch circuit current protection with a maximum rating of 15A. A circuit breaker rated at 15A 
satisfies both requirements. 

3.  When the unit cannot have the AC supply sourced from an Overvoltage category III 

installation, a transient voltage surge suppressor must be installed before the unit to reduce 
the peak transient surge rating. 

4.  Tampering or replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the safe use of 

the transceiver and will void the approval.
