Caution

The model number XETA24 has a maximum transmitted output power of 1000 mW when used in the 2402-2483MHz band. The transmit antenna shall be kept at least

71.11 cm from psychical space where humans may exist. Additional details may be

found in the “RF Exposure Calculations” at the end of this section.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Title 47 CFR § Part 15 and ICES-003. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 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, 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 devices and/or antennas.

2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

3) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

4) Consult the dealer or an experienced RF/radio/Electronics professional for help.

Note: Whenever any XetaWave LLC module is placed inside an enclosure, a label must

be placed on the outside of that enclosure which includes the module’s FCC ID and IC ID.

WARNING

These radio systems shall be installed by a RF/radio professional familiar with the applicable rules. Installation of all antennas shall be performed in a manner that will provide at least the MPE Distance from the direction of maximum radiation, to any user or member of the public and consistent with the settings in the applicable antenna installation compliance section below.

Exposure Compliance

FCC ID: PEJ-XETA24M-T

IC ID: 11169A-XETA24M-T

It is the responsibility of the licensee or user to guarantee compliance with the appropriate MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described herein. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or oriented such that it does not emit an RF field in excess guidelines as posted in the Canadian RSS102/Safety Code 6 of Health Canada, 47 CFR Bulletin 65/47CFR § 1.1310 of the Federal Communications Commission, or the Council of European Union as appropriate.

The XetaWave XETA24 uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may also pose a health hazard in the near field. People should not be near the antenna when the radio link is operating as general practice and maintain a safe distance as calculated below.

Note: Industry Canada and the FCC use the same RF power density level for their limits, but express them in different units. The US/FCC/OSHA/ANSI use milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) and Industry Canada uses Watts per square meter (W/m2).

Equation 1:

The following calculations are based off the Maximum Permissible Exposure requirements as outlined by the FCC and IC.

The MPED (Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance) is calculated based on the limits for a General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure in the 1,500 – 100,000 MHz frequency band using the stated MPE power density limit of 1.0 mW/cm2 or 10 W/m2. The following table provides safe distance for several power levels and antennas besides the worst case for convenience.

To calculate safe distance:

Equation 2:

Where:

MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance.

All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities.

The exposure limit, MPED, and conducted power units must be consistent, mW and cm for this case.

Duty cycle is set using packet sizes for master and slave. The highest duty cycle, 93%, that can be set is 1600 transmit and 64 receive using a modulation of 57 kbps MSK. Packet settings are set in the radio Network Configuration Menu. If the radio is a master then master packet size is set to 1600 and slave packet size is set to 64. All radios in the link must have the same master and slave settings. At Power up and with no data transmitting, the radios will transmit or beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10% depending upon modulation setting.

*The worst case is 1000 mW with an antenna with 20 dBi gain or greater or 86.03 cm as power output is reduced as required by the appropriate regulating authority.

The limits for Industry Canada are in Watts per square meter and easily calculated from equations 2 and then 1 above.

FCC antenna compliance

Since professional installation is required, standard RF connectors are used. Adapters or custom coaxial cables may be required to connect the radio output connector to the desired antenna.

Any antenna from a reputable manufacturer with desired bandwidth, gain/pattern coverage, and have an input surge impedance of approximately 50 ohms can be used provided the requirements of Title 47 CFR Part 51.247 (a), (b) and (c) are met, i.e. conducted power of 1W (30 dBm) or EIRP of 4W (36 dBm) maximum in a PTMP configuration. If the antenna gain is greater than 6 dBi, the power setting shall be reduced by the amount the gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. In other words the EIRP cannot exceed 4W or 36 dBm for a PTMP Configuration. In a fixed PTP link configuration you can increase the antenna gain to get an EIRP above 36 dBm but for every 3dBi

increase of antenna gain you must reduce the transmit power by 1 dBm. The table below shows the combinations of allowed transmit power / antenna gain and the resulting EIRP.

Industry Canada antenna compliance

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (E.I.R.P.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément a la réglementation d'lndustrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut fonctionner a l’aide d'une antenne d'un type et maximum (ou moins) Gain approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire Ie risque d'interférence avec

d'autres utilisateurs, Ie type d’antenne et son gain doivent étre choisis afin que la

puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire pour une communication réussie.

This radio transmitter 11169A-XETA24M-T has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Cet émetteur radio 11169A-XETA24M-T a été approuvé par lndustrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antennes énumérés ci-dessous avec Ie gain maximal

admissible et l’impédance d'antenne requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Types d’antennes ne figurent pas dans cette liste, ayant un gain supérieur au gain

maximum indiqué pour ce type, sont strictement interdites pour une utilisation avec cet appareil."
