Electromagnetic Radiation Notice
The following information is given to note compliance with the United States Government Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules (47 CFR Part 15) designed to limit interference to radio and TV reception. The ruling establishes
measurement procedures and frequency criteria for Class A computing devices (commercial and industrial applications) with
the following conduction and radiation limits:
CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: CONDUCTION LIMIT (Part 15.812)
Frequency (MHz) Maximum RF Line Voltage (uV)
0.45 - 1.6 1000
1.6 - 30 3000
CLASS A COMPUTING DEVICE: RADIATION LIMIT (Section 15.810)
Frequency (MHz) Distance (meters) Field Strength (uV/m)
30 - 88 30 30
88 - 216 30 50
216 - 1000 30 70
The policy of Thomson is one of continual development and improvement. For that reason Thomson uses components and
manufacturing techniques that provide the current state-of-the-art suppression of electromagnetic radiation. This equipment, in
production before October 1, 1981, has not been tested to the above listed measurements. However, equipment such as this
delivered after October 1, 1983 will have the measurements on record at the factory. Therefore, in compliance with the stated
FCC Regulation, the following information is provided for the user:
NOTE
Interference to Radio Communications
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. As
temporarily permitted by regulation it has not been tested for compliance with the limits for Class A
computing devices pursuant to Subpart J of of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

1 General
The BTS-1616/34 is a 16x16 telecom router for 34Mbit/s or 45Mbit/s data rate. BTS-1616/34 meets
ITU-T G.703 for HDB3 coded signals. The BTS-1616/34 routing system consists of one broadband router
(1RU) and two equalizing and re-clocking units (each 1RU). This combination provides maximum signal
quality with automatic cable equalizing and re-clocking of incoming signals. This state of the art router
provides high performance circuits in SMD technology for maximum system performance. The built-in
RS-232 interface allows the user to control the router via the Triton Router Control System PC software
with many operational features. One or several Triton remote control panels can control the BTS-1616/34
as well.
