4.1
Requirements
Radio installation requirements
ATTENTION
Professional Installation is required to insure conformity with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in the USA, Industry Canada (IC) in Canada and the Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive, 1999/5/EC (R&TTE), in the European
Union (EU).
Professional installation is required for the selection and installation of approved antennas and
setup of the maximum allowable radiated power from the WCX Series Valve Position Sensor
as configured for the particular installation site.
The antennae used for this sensor must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
For remote antenna, see antenna installation requirements to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements.
ATTENTION
Federal Communications Commission (FCC):
The WCX Series Valve Position Sensors comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Industry Canada (IC):
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such
that it does not emit RF fields in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population;
consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's web site www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
4.2
Integral antenna
WARNING
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
The integrally mounted antenna shroud is made of Teflon® and has a surface
resistance greater than 1Gohm per square. When the WCX Series Valve
Position Sensor is installed in potentially hazardous locations care should be
taken not to electrostatically charge the surface of the antenna shroud by
rubbing the surface with a cloth, or cleaning the surface with a solvent. If
electrostatically charged, discharge of the antenna shroud to a person or a
tool could possibly ignite a surrounding hazardous atmosphere.
