Other than for 802.11 b/g Wi‐Fi applications, a networked ViewPoint VPx Access Point (“AP”) is required to receive radio transmissions from a VPx sensor. Radio Frequency Description ViewPoint Release Notes & Comments 915 MHz ISM Band, Region 2 (North & South America) v1.1 P/N CM‐000251 Table 2‐1 VPx Access Point Radio Transmission Frequencies VPx RF transmits power + 12.5 dBm with a selectable range: 902.62 MHz to 914.87 MHz (Low Band) 906.12 MHz to 924.12 MHz (Standard) 914.87 MHz to 927.62 MHz (Hi Band) The VPx AP complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Access Point 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.

Mesa Labs, Inc. 12100 W. 6th Avenue Lakewood, CO 80228 USA Tel: 303-565-2724 monitoring.mesalabs.com techsupport@mesalabs.com VPx Access Point User Manual 2.1 FCC NOTICE WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction's manual, may cause interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. RF Exposure Notice: To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antennas must operate with a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2.2 Industry Canada 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. This radio transmitter (IC: 6891A‐VPX900AP) 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. [Immediately following the above notice, The manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissive antenna gain (in dBi) and required impedance for each.] 1. Pulse W1063, maximum gain 3 dBi, 50 ohm 2 L‐COM HG903RD‐RSP, maximum gain 3 dBi, 50 ohm This device complies with Industry Canada licence‐exempt RSS standard(s). 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.

This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 6891A‐VPX900AP) de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci‐dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur. [Immediately following the above notice, The manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permissive antenna gain (in dBi) and required impedance for each.] – This would be putting the list in French. 1. Pulse W1063, le gain max 3 dBi, 50 ohm 2 L‐COM HG903RD‐RSP, le max gain 3 dBi, 50 ohm Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. NOTE IMPORTANTE: Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations: Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.

Double‐sided tape, Velcro or interlocking adhesive strips are additional options if a metal screw mount is not suitable for the mounting surface. The external antenna should be extended straight up vertically or bent at a 45° angle. Do not mount the VPx AP in an area enclosed by a “metal box” or surrounded by metal walls, as these environments attenuate radio signal strength and diminish the ability of the radio to transmit and receive radio signals. Avoid environmental conditions outside of the limits listed in Table 4‐2 Recommended Operating Conditions. Environmental Condition Operating Requirement Notes & Comments Liquids or Moisture Exposure Avoid or utilize a suitable NEMA‐ rated outer enclosure Includes environments with regular wash downs or wipe downs. Temperature ‐10 °C < Temp < 35 °C Ideal room temperature is +20 ° C. Humidity RH 0 – 85% noncondensing Ideal %RH is <35%. Do not exceed 85% RH for more than three consecutive days.
