IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE US CUSTOMERS

Model No.: IBIS-KU FCC ID: UFW-IBIS-KU This device complies with part 90 of the FCC Rules. Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void your

authority to operate this equipment. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This

equipment should be installed and operated with minimum 20 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter unless authorized to do so by the FCC.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

Model No.: IBIS-KU IC ID: 8991A-IBISKU This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 22 dB.

Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 22 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

IBIS-ANT1-H38V18 IBIS-ANT2-H29V25 IBIS-ANT3-H17V15 IBIS-ANT4-H11V10 IBIS-ANT5-H12V39 IBIS-ANT6-H51V20

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

1. INTRODUCTION

This document provides an introduction to the IBIS-S system (Image By Interferometric Survey-S), with particular reference to the concepts the user must learn before starting to use this device. Therefore we recommend that you read the entire document before starting the system.

If technical assistance is required, please use the contact numbers provided on page 3 of this manual.

1.1 Scope

This document will provide the operator with all the necessary knowledge to install and maintain the IBIS-L system. In particular, the manual describes:

- The contents of the cases;

- The procedure for installing and dismantling the system;

- Information for the safe use of the system.

1.2 Field of application

This document applies to the installation and dismantling of the of the IBIS system in S configuration and its use in the field for monitoring quasi static or dynamic phenomena.

1.3 Authorisation for use – national restriction

European countries

IBIS-S system has been classified by the CEPT Administrations as SRD – Short Range Device - i.e. a device that doesn’t cause interference to other systems operating in the same frequency band. IBIS-S has so been included in the ERC/REC 70-03 which defines the SRD equipment.

For Ku band system

While the European countries update their national frequency allocation table applying the new recommendations, currently the use of IBIS-S system outside a laboratory can still be subject to authorisation by the Competent Ministry of the country where the system will be used. Please refer to the country’s Competent Ministry to know whether there is the need of an authorisation.

For X band system

Almost all the European countries have applied the ERC/REC 70-03 for the X band system. Please refer to the Competent Ministry of the country where the system will be used to know if there are limitations in the use of X band IBIS-S equipment.
