INSTALLATION NOTES
ABOUT CE

• Compliance of base station transmitter installations with EN50385
The installation of this equipment and it’s associated
antenna should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic (EM)
field exposure limits. (1999/519/EC)
In order not to exceed these exposure limits it is necessary to determine the ‘Compliance Boundary,’ that
means the volume within which the EM field radiated
by the transmitter/antenna installation may exceed the
1999/519/EC limits. You will then need to ensure that
members of the general public do not have access
within this area. The actual Compliance Boundary for
this repeater will be totally dependant on the antenna,
feeder, RF amplifier and other passive or active devices used in the installation.
The RF output power of this repeater is 25 watts.
The figures contained in this guide are based on the
recommended limits for the general public and are
obtained by ‘worst case’ numerical analysis. For a definitive evaluation of any given installation, measurements should be made with an EM field meter and a
broadband calibrated probe.
• Installation
The antenna should be installed as high as possible
for maximum efficiency and minimum EM field at
ground-level. The evaluation of radiated field should
take into account any additional RF amplifiers used,
any loss in the antenna feeder cable and the gain of
the antenna used as well as its polar radiation pattern.
If there are any objects or structures larger than
half a wavelength close to the antenna, or within the
clearance distances specified, then these can cause
reflections which will have an effect on the overall radiation pattern.
For any installation you need to consider ‘height clearance’ (i.e. the height above any place where persons
may have access) and ‘front clearance’ (i.e. the distance in front of the antenna where the radiated field
may exceed the recommended limits). Normally with
an antenna installed on a reasonably high mast or
tower, there will not be any access point directly in
front but care should be exercised when there are
other buildings higher than the antenna within the vicinity.
• Installation with a vertical type antenna at VHFUHF
You need to consider the distances between the antenna and any point where persons may have access.
Allowing an average height of 1.8 m for a person in
the vicinity of the antenna the clearance distances
can be evaluated as follows. For the antenna a forward gain of 1.6 and downward gain of unity has been
assumed.
Power EIRP Distance
clearance clearance
1 watt 1.6 watts 0.32 m 2.1 m 0.4 m
10 watts 16 watts 1 m 2.8 m 1.3 m
25 watts 40 watts 1.6 m 3.4 m 2 m
100 watts 160 watts 3.2 m 5 m 4 m
1 kW 1600 watts 10 m 12 m 13 m
• Installation with a yagi or directive type antenna
Exposure distance assumes that the predominant radiation pattern is forwards and that radiation vertically
downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is
equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every
gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed
to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical
height of 1.8 m.
The figures assume the worst case emission of constant carrier.

ABOUT CE
• Typical installation example
A UHF base station transmitter is to be installed on
the roof of an office.
The transmit power is 25 watts, there is 20 m of
RG-213 coaxial cable and the antenna is vertically
polarised dipole.
The specification of the RG-213 cable gives a loss
of 1.5 dB/10 m. There will be 3 dB loss for the 20 m
length used.
The RF power at the antenna input will be 12.5 watts.
The dipole antenna has a forward gain of 0 dBd or
1.6, giving an EIRP of 20 watts.
Referring to the table above for VHF/UHF vertical
antennas, this gives a front clearance distance of approx. 1.5 m and a height clearance of 3 m.
The antenna installation needs to ensure that the lowest part of the antenna is at least 3 m above any point
where the general public may gain access and that
they cannot pass within 1.5 m in front of the antenna.
If there is no general public access to the roof in
question then the antenna could be mounted on a
short stub mast. If there is such access to the roof
then the antenna could be mounted on top of a short
mast of 3.2 m high. The mast position should be such
that the antenna can radiate clearly i.e. no other object or structure is within 1.5 m (preferably more).
It should be relatively easy to fulfil all these recommendations.
If for any reason such minimum distances are impossible to guarantee then some type of access control fence or barrier around the antenna installation
should be provided.
Should a Yagi type antenna be used then you will
have to obtain a 3 dimensional polar plot of the radiation characteristic from the manufacturer and evaluate
the clearance distances in both vertical and horizontal
planes.
• Operating Notes
All of the above comments on RF safety assume that
the radio is transmitting continuously in a constant
carrier mode such as FM or RTTY etc.
The RF exposure limits recommended by the EC are
based on the mean power averaged over a 6 minute
period.
Therefore if t he total transmit time during any 6
minute period is reduced, then the installation will be
even further within the recommended limits.
CE Versions of the IC-FR5100/IC-FR6100
which display the “CE” symbol on the serial
number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and
Telecommun ication Terminal Directive
1999/5/EC.
