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 isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.b. This radio transmitter 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.Antenna type Antenna gain Antenna impedanceAutec stylus λ/4 <0dBi 50 Ohmc. Autec allows you to use only the dedicated antenna supplied either with the remote control or as original spare part. The use of any other type of antenna is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.d. Place the antenna of the Receiving Unit in a position that ensures a minimum separation distance of 20cm from all the people that can be in the working area.AUTEC - AIR SERIESConformity 13LIUACFH02_eng-00
Read carefully the section of the Manual where the antenna position is described, both in the general part and in the specic part referring to the Receiving Unit.3.2.1 Federal Communications Commission (FCC)This device complies 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.Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the User’s authority to operate the equipment.3.2.2 Industry Canada (IC)This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.14LIUACFH02_eng-00ConformityAUTEC - AIR SERIES
4 FrequenciesAir series' Radio Remote Controls can work in two dierent frequency bands: 863-870MHz or 915-928MHz.The Radio Remote Controls' working frequency is dened by market-specic laws and standards. In order for the system “Machine+Radio Remote Control” to be compliant and therefore to be used, these laws and standards must be respected: if they are not, the Radio Remote Control cannot and must not be used.Autec cannot be held responsible if the Radio Remote Control is set with frequencies that are forbidden in the country of use.The Radio Remote Control automatically searches for a free working frequency within the frequency band where it is working.4.1 863-870MHz frequency band4.1.1 FrequenciesThe radio link between the Units of Autec Air series Radio Remote Controls is established at one of the frequencies permitted by the European standards in force when the system is put on the market.Frequencies used ........................................................................................................ 128RF power ...................................................................................................... <25mW ERPChannel spacing ...................................................................................................... 50kHzTypical working range ................................................................................... 100m (330ft)The Units of Autec Air series' Radio Remote Controls: -use a working frequency in the 863-870MHz band, -check that the frequency is free before using it, -continually change the working frequency to maintain the radio link even when interference occurs.4.1.2 Countries of usageAir series' Radio Remote Controls working in the 863-870MHz frequency band can be used within the EU (European Union) and the EFTA (European Free Trade Association).Check on the technical data plate of the Units in which markets the Radio Remote Control can be used.AUTEC - AIR SERIESFrequencies 15LIUACFH02_eng-00
