2.0 Introduction
A ViewPoint VPx sensor transmits signals in the radio frequencies summarized in Table 2‐1 VPx Access
Point Radio Transmission Frequencies. 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.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. 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.

4.1 Configuration Instructions
The following are options for VPx AP configuration:
Full ISM Channelization
902 – 928 MHz
Corning® MobileAccess compatible
906 – 924 MHz
Spectralink™ Upper Band
916 – 924 MHz
Table 4‐1 AP Configuration Options
4.2 Mounting Instructions
After configuring the VPx AP, mount it on a vertical wall or another suitable surface with at least one
metal screw to a plywood backboard or properly‐anchored screw in drywall. 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.
