2. Certification
The Mech-Mind IPC STD series is compliant with the following standards and assessment
requirements. Please note that the registration statuses may be updated. If you need more
information, please contact the local agents.
2.1. CE
This equipment conforms with the following EU directives:
•EMC Directive (2004/108/EC, 2014/30/EU)
•Low-Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC, 2014/35/EU)
•RoHS II Directive (2011/65/EU, 2015/863/EU)
If the user modifies and/or installs other devices in the equipment, the CE conformity declaration
may no longer apply.
If this equipment has telecommunications functionality, it also complies with the requirements of
the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU.
2.2. FCC
This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference, and
•This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
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 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 manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

This equipment has been assembled with components that comply 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.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
