SETUP GUIDE

United States FCC & Industry Canada rules

OQ7IHW
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: The device
may not cause harmful interference, and it must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

Antenna spacing requirements for user safety

It is important to keep the radio's antenna a safe distance from the user. To meet the requirements of FCC part

2.1091 for radio frequency radiation exposure, this radio must be used in such a way as to guarantee at least 20 cm
between the antenna and users. Greater distances are required for high- gain antennas. The FCC requires a
minimum distance of 1 mW *cm2 power density from the user (or 20 cm, whichever is greater).
If a specific application requires proximity of less than 20 cm, the application must be approve d through the FCC for
compliance to part 2.1093.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed in such a way that it does n ot
emit RF fields in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; refer to Safety Code 6, obtainable from
Health Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.

RLXIB: CSA C22.2 213-M1987 and N. American Standard ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 listing

In accordance with Canadian Standard CSA C22.2 213-M1987 and ANSI Standar d ISA 12.12.01, the RLXIB series
radios have been UL listed for operation in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D Locations.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C, AND D, HAZARDOUS
LOCATIONS ONLY IF INSTALLED IN AN APPROVED ENCLOSURE AND POWERED BY A CLASS 2 POWER
SUPPLY.”Limited Power Source”.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD! SUBSTITUTION OF ANY COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR
CLASS I, DIVISION 2.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.

AVERRTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - LA SUBSTITUTION DE COMPOSANTS PEUT RENDRE CE
MATERIEL INACCEPTABLE POUR LES EMPLACEMENTS DE CLASSE I, DIVISION 2.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN
SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON HAZARDOUS.

AVERRTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - AVANT DE DECONNECTER L'EQUIPEMENT, COUPER LE
COURANT OU S'ASSURER QUE L'EMPLACEMENT EST DESIGNE NON DANGERUEX.

The following label is applied to the radio to indicate that it is listed under ANSI/ISA standard 12.12.01 and CSA
standard C22.2 213-M1987.

This Device contains a Radio Transmitter Module

Safety Warning Statements
Explosive Atmosphere

Power, Input, and Output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction

A Warning – Explosion Hazard – Do not make or break connections in an explosive atmosphere.
B Caution – Use only approved recommended power supply.
C Warning - Power supply should be installed in a non-hazardous area.
D Warning – DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED.
E These products are intended to be mounted in an IP54 enclosure. The devices shall provide external means to

prevent the rated voltage being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40%. This device must be used
only with ATEX certified backplanes.

European CE certification

The radio modem has been approved for operation under the RTT&E directive, passing the foll owing tests: ETS300­826 (EMC), ETS300-328 (Functionality), and EN60950 (Safety).
The following is the appropriate label that is applied to the radio modem product line to in dicate the unit is approved
to operate with CE certification:

The following is the appropriate label that is applied to the radio modem product line shipping package to indicate the

Note: Member states in the EU with restrictive use for this device are crossed out. This device is also authorized for
use in all EFTA member states (CH, ICE, LI, and NOR).

IMPORTANT: This device is a 2.4-GHz, low-power RF device intended for office and home use in all EU and EFTA
member states, except in France where restrictive use applies.

EU Requirements

1. For outdoor use, France has a frequency restriction of 2.4GHz - 2.454GHz for an output power greater than 10mW
and below 100mW.

2. For outdoor use in France, the output power is restricted to 10mW in the frequency range of 2.454GHz –

2.4835GHz.

3. 5.15GHz – 5.35GHz is restricted to 200mW EIRP throughout the European Union.

RLXIB: Power over Ethernet Injector and Accessories "Warning"

The PoE Injector was not a part of the hazardous location or ATEX certification. Therefore, if an injector is used to
power any of the radios, the PoE injector must be installed/located outside of any area that could be kn own to be
hazardous. The AC power adaptor was not a part of the haz loc certification.

The RLXIB series were tested and certified to hazardous location and ATEX without any accessories included in this
certification. Therefore, any accessory added to the RLXIB series radios must be used in an area known to be non­hazardous as they have not been subjected to hazardous location and ATEX certifications.

The preferred method of powering the radios is using the supplied power adaptor but If the PoE injector is used in an
ordinary location "only", the PoE injector must be Listed. If the PoE injector is used instead of the supplied power
adaptor, all of the wiring to and from the injector must be routed/installed inside building/plant and never
routed/installed outside of the building/plant.
