United States FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class A EMI Compliance Statement:
NOTE: 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 envi-
ronment. 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.
For European Users - WARNING:
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take
adequate measures.
INSTALLATION: Electromagnetic Compatibility WARNING
The connection of non-shielded equipment interface cables to this equipment will invalidate FCC EMI and European Union EMC
compliance and may result in electromagnetic interference and/or susceptibility levels which are in violation of regulations which
apply to the legal operation of this device. It is the responsibility of the system integrator and/or user to apply the following direc-
tions which relate to installation and configuration:
1. All interface cables must include shielded cables. Braid/foil type shields are recommended. Communication cable connectors must be
metal, ideally zinc die-cast backshell types, and provide 360 degree protection about the interface wires. The cable shield braid must be
terminated directly to the metal connector shell, ground drain wires alone are not adequate.
2. Protective measures for power and interface cables as described within this manual must be applied. Do not leave cables connected to unused
interfaces or disconnected at one end. Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
3. EMC compliance is, in part, a function of PCB design. Third party add-on AT/XT peripheral PCB assemblies installed within this appara-
tus may void EMC compliance. FCC/CE compliant PCB assemblies should always be used where possible. XYCOM can accept no re-
sponsibility for the EMC performance of this apparatus after system integrator/user installation of PCB assemblies not manufactured and/or
expressly tested and approved for compliance by XYCOM. It is the responsibility of the system integrator/user to ensure that installation
and operation of such devices does not void EMC compliance.
