3 Product Information
3.1 Intended Use of the Product
The EchoRing Ethernet Bridge (device) enables a time-critical and reliable wireless link
between Ethernet-based industrial protocol devices. It can be employed for:
• Replacing cable-based network infrastructure with a wireless connection in machinery,
vehicles and devices, enabling simplified infrastructure and flexible operations.
• Replacing network cables between moving structures or components in machinery,
vehicles and devices in order to reduce weight, size and use of installation space, as
well as wear and tear on network infrastructure.
ATTENTION — This radio device is intended for transmitting data wirelessly. It is furthermore intended
to be used for low latency and/or high reliability data communications. When using device, be mindful of
the general behavior and physics of the wireless channel. Abrupt or predictable changes in the operational
environment, such as movement of people or objects, and the presence of interfering devices, can result in
reduced wireless signal quality and failed data transmissions. Thus, when used in critical applications,
where the result of poor wireless connectivity can cause severe human injury or economic
damage, intended operations cannot rely solely on this device. A comprehensive system solution,
such as an integrated wired failsafe in case of poor wireless connectivity, must be installed and tested to
the level of intended application’s importance.

3.2 Localization Information and Constraints
The EchoRing Ethernet Bridge ER-EB 1000M (Version for USA and Canada) was specifically
designed to meet regulatory requirements of the FCC and ISED respectively. The Device
operates in the 5GHz Band, more specifically Channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157,
161 and 165. The maximum output power at the SMA port is limited to 16.2dBm. For
any installation use dipole antennas only. The maximum antenna gain shall under no
circumstances supersede 13dBi. Do not operate the EchoRing Ethernet Bridge ER-EB 1000M
(Version for USA and Canada) in regions other than indicated.

3.4 Conformity/Country Approvals
Additional information (e.g. declaration of conformity, documents, test reports, restrictions,
etc.) can be found on www.echoring.com.
3.4.1 FCC 47 CFR 15 Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
ATTENTION — Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by R3 may void
the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. !
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able 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, wich can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more 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 wich the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
!
ATTENTION — This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
enviroment. Under normal use condition the user has to keep at least 20cm separation distance between
radiator and body of the user.
!ATTENTION — This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
!
ATTENTION — Professional Installation Notice: To comply with FCC Part 15 rules in the United States,
the system must be professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the
responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified systems are deployed in
the United States. The use of the system in any other combination (such as co-located antennas transmitting
the same information) is expressly forbidden.
3.4.2 RSS-210 of ISED
This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause unde-
sired operation of the device.
L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans le présent appareil est conforme
aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada applicables aux ap-
pareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This device has been designed to operate with dipole antennas having a maximum gain
of 8.5 dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 8.5 dBi are strictly prohibited for use
with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for suc-
cessful communication. That the device for the band 5,150-5,250 MHz is only operated
indoors to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
