Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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 ins talled and us ed in acc ordance with the instructions, ma y 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 harmful 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:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

FCC Caution:

To assure continued compliance.(example-use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the Following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this Device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrol led environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the F CC radio frequency expos ure limits, human proximit y to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm(8 inches) during normal operation.

R&TTE Compliance Statement

This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication terminal Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE)

The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8,2000.

Safety

This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

WEEE regulation

To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the

presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of electrical and electronic equipment should understand the meaning of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and have to collect such WEEE separately.

6.2.2 Configuration

This page allows user to configure all necessary parameters of EMD (Environmental Monitoring Device).

- 21 -

Option Description

Sensor Name Set Point

Calibration Offset

Alarm Type

Configure the name of a sensor (or device) with up to 15 characters. The threshold of a sensor (Temperature or Humidity) will trigger an alarm, whenever the measurement is over (high) or under (low) the set point. If the checkbox is not filled, the threshold is disabled and the alarm will not be triggered. The valid range for the Temperature threshold setting is 5 to 65, and 5 to 95 for Humidity. If the measurement value of a sensor doesn't, for whatever reason, comply with the actual environment, the 'Calibration Offset' setting can be configured to adjust the final value of the sensor. For example, if a sensor reports 43% humidity for a 45% humidity environment, the user can configure the humidity offset as 2% so the sensor can then adjust its final value to 45%. If an alarm sensor (water leak, security, etc) is connected to the IP Power Manager, the user can configure the alarm as 'Disabled', 'Normal Open', or 'Normal Close'. A 'Disabled' setting will mean the alarm is inactive. 'Normal Open' and 'Normal Close' are used for a two-wire detector that will emulate an open/close state. When the

EMD Status

wires are closed to 'loop-back' (the signal for the sensor), the sensor will detect the state as closed. The sensor will NOT activate the alarm for 'Normal Close' in this case, although the alarm will be activated if configured as 'Normal Open'. The EMD can be configured as 'Disabled' or 'Auto'. The setup should be configured as 'Disabled' if an EMD is not attached to the port.
