COMMUNICATIONS REGULATION INFORMATION
RF Exposure
Professional installation of this device is required. The radio equipment described in this guide
emits radio frequency energy. Although the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a
directional antenna may pose a health hazard. The following minimum distances apply in both
indoor and outdoor environments.
This device uses a 220 MHz (Part 90) internal antenna and the device must be mounted such that
a Minimum Distance of 20 cm from the top of the device is maintained from the general public.
This internal antenna can be replaced with one of the external antennas shown in the table below.
Only the antennas listed in this section are approved for use with this device.
Table 1 Table of External Antenna Gain for Transceiver
More information on RF exposure is available at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins.
UL/CSA Notice
The transceiver has been recognized for use the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA
Certification is in accordance with CSA CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 & ANSI/UL 60950-1-2002.
UL/CSA Conditions of Approval
This device is approved for use in locations that are rated Overvoltage category I through III (IEC
60664-1). Equipment with an impulse withstand voltage corresponding to overvoltage category III is
for use in the fixed installation downstream of, and including the main distribution board, (IEC
60364-4-443).
The transceiver is not acceptable as a standalone unit. It must be mounted within the following
conditions of approval:
1. Installation, operation and maintenance of the transceiver should be in accordance with the
transceiver’s installation manual, and the National Electric Code.

Minimum Distance from
the General Public.
AE-3010 5.2 23 cm
AE-3020 9.1 35 cm
2. When installed, this equipment must be protected with an external disconnect device and
branch circuit current protection with a maximum rating of 15A. A circuit breaker rated at 15A
satisfies both requirements.
3. When the unit cannot have the AC supply sourced from an Overvoltage category III
installation, a transient voltage surge suppressor must be installed before the unit to reduce
the peak transient surge rating.
4. Tampering or replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the safe use of
the transceiver and will void the approval.
ii
5. Use of batteries that are not Tantalus-approved may adversely affect the safe use of the
transceiver, and will void the approval.
FCC Part 15 Notice, USA
The transceiver described herein complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device is specifically designed to be used under Section 15.247 of the FCC Rules and
Regulations. Any unauthorized modification or changes to this device without the express approval
of Tantalus Systems Corp. may void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Furthermore, this device is intended to be used only when installed in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this manual. Failure to comply with these instructions may also void the
user’s authority to operate this device.
Radio and Television Interference
The installation guidelines 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 harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one of 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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
