FCC Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able 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 manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residen-
tial area is likely to cause interference in which case the
user is required to correct interference at his own expense.
CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmental spec-
ifications when shielded cables are used for external wiring.
We recommend the use of shielded cables. This kind of
cable is available from Advantech. Please contact your local
supplier for ordering information.
