MYLAPS ACTIVE User Manual

6. EC and FCC regulations
Most electronic equipment produces some undesired interference at a close distance. To make sure the increasing

numbers of electronic equipment will not cause harmful interference, the CE (Europe) and FCC (US) regulations state
very low levels of interference that should not be exceeded. The AMB equipment does not exceed these levels.

The CE regulations also state the levels of interference generated by other sources which the equipment must be able to
tolerate without malfunctioning. These levels are considerably higher than the interference levels produced by the
electronic equipment itself. Cellular telephones however may generate interference levels which may cause other

electronic equipment to malfunction. AMB made sure its equipment is insensitive to the interference generated by cellular
telephones or other modern fonms of personal radio communications.

The FCC regulations for Infonmation Technology equipment which must be printed in the manuals state that you must
tolerate interference produced by others and you must switch-off when interference produced by your equipment is

experienced by others. The level of interference is strongly reduced when you increase the distance between two pieces
of electronic equipment. For example: your portable radio will most probably experience interference when placed on top
of your monitor, but will work very well a few feet away. Since the AMB transponders operate on magnetic induction they
have no antenna, but a built-in coil instead. The transponders do not produce an electromagnetic (radio) wave but only a

magnetic wave. The difference between an electromagnetic (radio) wave and a magnetic wave is that the

electromagnetic wave travels by itself over great distances and the magnetic wave does not. As the distance increases
the strength of the magnetic wave is greatly reduced. This is why AMB transponders are no transmitters.

This equipment complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

equipment may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this equipment must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause hanmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

.Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
.Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver­.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

,~§E!!:7

The AMB TranX 160 activated loop upgrade is specially designed to let an
existing AMB TranX 120/160 detection loop function normally, but function as
well as a beacon for the AMB DisplaylT.

The AMB DisplaylT, which is usually fitted to the steering wheel of a kart, detects
the signal produced by the activated detection loop while passing the loop and
indicates the actual lap time on its display.
