Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment must not be used close to any
parts of the
FORA Vital including cables, other
than the recommended separation distance
calculated from the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:
d = 1,2 √P
d = 1,2 √P 80MHz to 800 MHz
d = 2,3 √P 800MHz to 2,7 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in meters
(m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey,
a should be less than the compliance level in
each frequency range.b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply to all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the FORA Vital is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the FORA Vital should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocating the FORA Vital.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
