biodex ATOMLAB 960 - Recommended Separation Distances for RF Equipment

ATOMLAB 960 MEDICAL SPECTROMETER APPENDIX C C-5
Recommended Separation Distances
Operating Temperature
Do not expose the equipment to a temperature change of more than 5° F (3° C) per hour.
Limits of low and high operating temperature ranges are 59° to 86° F (15° C to 30° C).
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and
the Atomlab 960 Thyroid Uptake System. Table 6
The Atomlab 960 Thyroid Uptake System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbance are controlled. The customer or the user of the Atomlab 960 Thyroid
Uptake System can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the Atomlab 960
Thyroid Uptake System as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communication equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
