REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
FCC
The following FCC compliance statement applies to the 150 MHz and 450 MHz
frequency bands described in Appendix A.
This device complies with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Caution
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Dali Wireless, Inc. could void
compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority to operate this equipment.
Caution
Do not use this equipment with unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not
conforming with ERP/EIRP and/or indoor-only restrictions.
WARNING. This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC
LICENSEES and QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have a FCC LICENSE or
express consent of an FCC Licensee to operate this device. You MUST register Class
B signal boosters (as defined in 47 CFR 90.219) online at www.fcc.gov/signal-
boosters/registration. Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties,
including penalties in excess of $100,000 for each continuing violation.
FCC licensee is required to register the installed Class B devices at
https://signalboosters.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/
This device complies with FCC Part 90.219 as a Class B Signal Booster. The selection and
installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The FCC
regulation mandates that the ERP of type B signal boosters should not exceed 5 Watt. In addition
there are limitations on radiated intermodulation products and re-radiated noise.

iv | Dali Matrix PS System Installation and Commissioning Guide
Dali Wireless Proprietary and Confidential | DW-MAN-036 Rev 06
The Class B device described in this Installation and Commissioning Guide only has a
composite output power of 33 dBm. With a typical antenna gain of 5 dB and distribution
loss of cable and passive components, it will not exceed the 5 Watt ERP limit. See
Signal Booster Installation Guidelines shown below.
Signal Booster Installation Guidelines
In general, the ERP of the output noise within the pass band should not exceed the level
of -43 dBm in 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. The ERP of the output noise outside of the
passband by more than 1 MHz should not exceed the level of -70 dBm in 10 kHzmeasurement
bandwidth. The ERP of intermodulation products should not exceed -30 dBm in 10 kHz
measurement bandwidth.
The device shall NOT exceed the 5 Watt (37dBm) ERP limit. In order to achieve this 37dBm
ERP limit, the “Maximum Power Output” of the device minus the “Distribution Loss” plus the
“Antenna Gain” MUST be smaller than 37dBm. In other words, once an antenna is selected with
certain gain, installer must calculate the minimum Distribution Loss required not to exceed the
37dBm limit. Distribution Loss is defined as the loss in cables and splitters combiners. The
sections below provides examples on how the minimum “Distribution Loss” is calculated for
different Power Output and Antenna Gain.
Calibration Modes
Units are calibrated for 2 W or 5W depending on the output power required:
Mode A: 2 W
Mode B: 5 W

RF Exposure
According to FCC Part 1.1307(b)(1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall
be operated in a manner that ensure that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy
level in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. More information on evaluating compliance with
these limits can be found in the FCC's OST/OET Bulletin Number 65, “Evaluating Compliance
with FCC-Specified Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiation”.
All maximum Conducted Output Power + Max Antenna Gain (dBi) shown below is less than the
37dBm ERP limit. In real deployment, there will be distribution loss due to cable and splitter
combiners between the output of device and antenna to ensure radiated power is under 37 dBm
ERP limit.
RF Exposure Evaluation Distance Calculation
𝑑 = √ (𝐸𝐼𝑅𝑃/4𝜋𝑆)
Where:
d = Distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (cm) for the allowable Power Density
S = Allowable Power Density Limit (mW/cm2)
EIRP = Equivalent isotropically radiated power (mW) = 10 [TX Power (dBm) + Ant Gain (dBi)/10]

In the Frequency Range of 30 to 300 MHz, the maximum power density limit for the
occupational/controlled exposures is 1 mW/cm2 for an average time of 6 minutes. In the
Frequency Range of 30 to 300 MHz, the maximum power density limit for the general
population/uncontrolled exposures is 0.2 mW/cm2 for an average time of 30 minutes.
The antenna connected to the product is specific to the deployment. The worst case scenario occurs
when using a high gain antenna. A typical outdoor antenna is shown in the following example:
The highest conducted output power is 37 dBm. To avoid exceeding 37 dBm ERP, the unit output
power can be backed off to 30 dBm. With a donor antenna gain of 7 dBi, the EIRP is 37 dBm.
