controlled environment: When mounting and operating the unit, keep a minimum
distance of 23 cm between the source of radiation and your own body�
In order to comply with the regulations of FCC Part 15 in the United States, the
system must be professionally installed in order to guarantee compliance with
the regulations for the certification according to Part 15� The operator and the
certified specialist carrying out the installation have the responsibility to ensure
that only certified systems are applied in the United States� Using the system
in any other combination (for example, several antennas at the same place
transmitting the same information) is explicitly prohibited�
Modifications or conversions that are made to this unit without ifm
electronic's explicit approval may make the FCC approval for the operation
of this unit invalid.
Corresponding tests showed that this unit complies with the limit values for
Class B digital devices, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules� These limit values
are designed to provide appropriate protection against harmful radio interference
with installations for private use� This unit generates and uses energy in the
radio frequency range and can also radiate it; if it is not installed and used in
accordance with the regulations, the unit may cause harmful interference with
radio communication� There is, however, no guarantee that no interference will
occur in a specific installation� If this unit causes harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by talking one or more of the
following measures:
●Readjust the receiving antenna or change its position�
●Increase the distance between the unit and the receiver�
●Connect the unit to a mains socket belonging to a different circuit than the one
to which the receiver is connected�
●Ask the dealer or an experienced radio and TV technician for advice�
