WJ Communications SX1115 Includes multiple antenna location instructions to installer

Page 7 of the WJ Beta Draft 2 instruction manual will be modified as follows:
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.
