2.2 EMC Information
Relevant EMC information (to FCC rules)
This equipment has been tested and was 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 radiates radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Note that, if coaxial cables are connected to the ASI-type interfaces, these cables
must be double shielded in order to keep the installation compliant with FCC rules.
Do not operate this equipment in a residential area, as it is likely to cause harmful interference.
When this is the case, you will be required to correct the interference at your own expense.
2.3 Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)
(Directive 2011/65/EU)
The undersigned hereby confirms the following statement:
We hereby declare that this equipment is compliant to the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.

2.4 Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals
(REACH)
European Regulation N°1907/2006 "REACH" (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of
Chemicals), came into force on June 1st, 2007. It aims at regulating the use of the chemical
substances within the European Union.
We are committed to meeting our legal obligations under REACH, as a manufacturer of articles and
as a downstream user of chemicals products.
In order to comply with the REACH regulation, Newtec Cy N.V. has put into place processes and
procedures to ensure implementation and compliance with the regulation, especially the assessment
of the presence of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC's) and communication along the supply
chain to both suppliers and customers.
All products manufactured by Newtec Cy N.V. fall under the category of Articles within the REACH
Regulation and none of them present the notion of intentional release of SVHC's, therefore no
obligation of registration applies.

only. Only qualified personnel who are aware of hazards involved may adjust, maintain and repair
the exposed equipment.
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
• To use the equipment correctly and safely, it is essential that both operating and servicing
personnel follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions
specified in this manual. Warning and caution statements and/or symbols are marked on the
equipment when necessary. Whenever it is likely that safety protection is impaired, immediately
switch off the equipment and secure it against unintended operation. Inform the appropriate
servicing authority about the problem. For example, safety is likely to be impaired if the
equipment fails to perform the intended measurements or shows visible damage.
• The only way to shut down the device is to disconnect the power cable from the power
connector. Therefore make sure that the power cable is accessible and not obstructed when the
device is operational. For more information please refer to section: PowerConnector.onpage22

Additional safety requirements for Finland, Norway and Sweden
Telecommunication connections and cable distribution system.
Special conditions apply to the use of this equipment in Finland, Sweden and Norway
due to different earthing arrangements in these countries. Therefore it is essential that
the installation is done by authorized personnel and according to the national
requirements only.
This equipment is specified for use in a restricted access location only, where
equipotential bonding has been applied and which has provision for a permanently
connected protective earthing conductor.
A protective earthing conductor must be installed by a Service Person.
Additional safety requirements for Norway and Sweden
Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the
mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing
- and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances
create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be
provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency
range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11)."
NOTE: In Norway, due to regulation for installations of cable distribution systems, and
in Sweden, a galvanic isolator shall provide electrical insulation below 5 MHz. The
insulation shall withstand a dielectric strength of 1,5 kV r.m.s., 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1
min.
Translation to Norwegian:
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet
utstyr - og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette
skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator
mellom utstyret og kabel-TV nettet.
Translation to Swedish:
"Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfõra risk fõr
brand. Fõr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av utrustningen till kabel-TV nät
galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen och kabel-TV nätet."

Safety Regulations M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulator
3.1 Environmental
Operating the equipment in an environment other than that stated in the specifications also
invalidates the safety compliance.
Do not use the equipment in an environment in which the unit is exposed to:
• Unpressurized altitudes higher than 2000 meters;
• Extreme temperatures outside the stated operating range operating temperature range 0 to +
50°C;
• Excessive dust;
• Moist or humid atmosphere above 85% RH;
• Excessive vibration;
• Flammable gases;
• Corrosive or explosive atmospheres;
• Direct sunlight.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the casing of the equipment. Do not use any
cleaning liquids containing alcohol, methylated spirit or ammonia, etc.
3.2 Rack Mounting Instructions
• Elevated Operating ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer. 50°C.
• Reduced Air Flow - installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromized.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

3.3 Earth Ground
On the rear panel of the equipment an earth ground is available.
It is provided to:
• Ensure that all equipment chassis fixed within a rack are at the same technical earth potential.
This is done by connecting a wire between the technical earth terminal and a suitable point on the
rack.
• Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between equipment.
In accordance to TNV-1 grounding requirements, the grounding thread of the device
must be connected according to the local regulations.
The following figure shows the position and how to connect the earth ground.
