3 Conformity
Addressees of instructions must:
-make sure that the Radio Remote Control works within the frequency band permitted in
the country where it is used;
-make sure that the Radio Remote Control works correctly, in compliance with the applicable
standards in the relevant country;
-not modify the Radio Remote Control conformity, by performing modications or technical
operations that change its operation.
During training on or usage of Autec Radio Remote Controls, local provisions imposing the
conservation of product conformity with local standards must be respected, as well as specic
standards related to safety in the use of Radio Remote Controls or electrical devices, both
in the working environment or outside of it.
3.1 EC conformity
According to the regulations in force in the European Union, one of
the requirements for a Radio Remote Control to be compliant with
the EC conformity is to work at one of the permitted frequencies. If it
does not, the Radio Remote Control cannot be considered compliant.
Each Air series' Radio Remote Control working in the frequency
band 863-870MHz complies with the (RED) Directive 2014/53/EU
and its essential requirements.
Each Radio Remote Control also complies with the harmonised
standards listed in the EU Declaration of Conformity, that are in force
and applicable when the Radio Remote Control is put on the market.
Autec Radio Remote Control's EU Declaration of Conformity is
provided as an attachment with the Radio Remote Control.
3.2 FCC/IC conformity
An AIR series' Radio Remote Control working in the 915-928MHz frequency band complies
with the requirements of the following standards:
-FCC (Federal Communication Commission) Part 15
-IC (Industry Canada) RSS-102

a. 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 impedance
Autec stylus λ/4 <0dBi 50 Ohm
c. 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.

4 Frequencies
Air series' Radio Remote Controls can work in two dierent frequency bands: 863-870MHz
or 915-928MHz.
The Radio Remote Controls' working frequency is dened by market-specic 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 band
