RADIO FREQUENCY HEALTH LIMITS FOR AI1422 READER
USING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA IN FREQUENCY BAND
OF 902.25 TO 903.75 AND 910.00 TO 921.50 MHZ
Several agencies (OSHA, FCC, IC) have environmental guidelines regulating maximum permissible
exposure (MPE) or “safe” exposure levels that this product falls under. To ensure that proper safety
guideline for the end users of this product, i.e. Occupational (Controlled) and General Population/
Public (Uncontrolled), the recommended levels for each of the agencies are presented in the next
sections with TransCore’s recommendations for safety in the last section.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
OSHA (an agency of The United States of America) legislates in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Title 29 Part 1910 Subpart G 1910.97 titled “Nonionizing radiation”, a maximum safe exposure
limit of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) during any 0.1-hour period (i.e. 6 minutes).
Using the frequency (in the middle of the band of operation of this equipment) of 915 MHz and the
highest antenna gain that this equipment is certified for use in a final installation, the minimum safe
distance was calculated to be 8in (20cm).
FCC (Federal Communication Commission)
FCC (an agency of The United States of America) legislates in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Title 47 Chapter I Subchapter A Part 1 Subpart I Section 1.1310 titled “Radiofrequency radiation
exposure limits” that the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is the following:
Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Power density = frequency(in MHz)/300 mW/cm2with an Averaging time of 6 Min
General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure
Power density = frequency(in MHz)/1500 mW/cm2 with an Averaging time of 30 Min
Using the frequency (in the middle of the band of operation of this equipment) of 915MHz and the
highest antenna gain that this equipment is certified for use in a final installation, the minimum
safe distance was calculated. The MPE minimum distances are 14in (36cm) for the Occupational/
Controlled environment, and 31.5in (80.5cm) for the General Population/Uncontrolled environment.

Controlled Environment
Power density = 0.6455*frequency(in MHz)0.5 W/m2with a Reference Period time of 6 Min
General Public/Uncontrolled Environment
Power density = 0.02619*frequency(in MHz)0.6834 W/m2with a Reference Period time of 6 Min
Using the frequency (in the middle of the band of operation of this equipment) of 915MHz and the
highest antenna gain that this equipment is certified for use in a final installation, the minimum
safe distance was calculated. The MPE minimum distances are 18in (45cm) for the Controlled
environment and 47in (120cm) for the General Public/Uncontrolled environment.

Licensing Requirements
To operate a radio frequency (RF) system in a given country, the user must first obtain
permission from the regulatory agency that controls radio operations in that country. Most
countries require type and safety approval, as well as licensing for RF transmitters. Users in
all countries should check with the appropriate local authorities for licensing requirements.
U.S. Licensing
This AI1422E Reader System requires an FCC Part 90 license to operate in the U.S. The
authorized frequency bands in the U.S. are 902 to 904 MHz and 909.75 to 921.75 MHz.
The user is responsible for filing the FCC license according to FCC regulations. Access
the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form601/601.html or at wireless.fcc.gov/index.
htm?job=online_filing to obtain additional information concerning licensing requirements.
An FCC license provides the user with the legal authorization to operate the RFID
systems on the licensed frequencies at the site specified in the license. Only an
authorized installer or service technician can set the frequency for the AI1422E Reader
System to that specified in the FCC site license.
The FCC license also provides the user with protection and authorization to maintain
the system should any other RFID be used in the licensed area after the AI1422E Reader
System is installed.
