BETA DRAFT2 - WJ CONFIDENTIAL
Antenna Installation Instructions: FCC RF Exposure Limits
The WJ SX11xx series of UNII transceivers, used in conjunction with 18 - 34 dBi gain antennas, are to be
employed in point -to- point applications only. Antennas used for these transmitters shall b e professionally
installed on permanent structures for outdoor operations. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the
systems using high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations.
The installer shall mount all transmit antennas so as to comply with the limits for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) fields per paragraph 1.1307 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Regulations . The FCC requirements incorporate limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) in
terms of electric field strength, magnetic field strength, and power density.
The WJ UNII transmitters are intended to be installed in restricted access areas, where access can only be
gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Regardless, antenna installations shall be engineered so that MPE is limited to 1 mW/cm
stringent limit for "uncontrolled environments". Table 2 below specifies the minimum distance that must
be maintained between the antenna and any areas where persons may have access, including rooftop
walkways, sid ewalks, as well as through windo ws and other RF-transparent areas behind which persons
may be located.

*Antennas tested and qualified for FCC certification August - October 1999. Other antenna types may be used,
provided applicable req uir ement s i n FCC Rule parts 2 and 15 are met.
Antenna manufacturer-supplied installation instructions for specific models generally contain information
regarding antenna mounting, aiming, lightning protection, and other relevant factors. In addition to
meeting these requirements, the antenna system installer is responsible for installing antennas so that they
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements. The FCC RF exposure requirements at a given location are
based on the sum total of contributions from all radio sources. For WJ system antennas placed in close
proximity to other transmitters (e.g., on a shared rooftop or tower installation), installers shall take steps to
insure that MPE guidelines in 1.1307 of the Rules continue to be met with the inclusion of the contribution
from the new antenna. Further information and guidance can be found in FCC Bulletin OET 65, available
