Notwithstanding all due precaution by Nedap, Nedap Animal Identification may not function optimally due
to devices that emit radio waves, such as (but not limited to) variable frequency drives, electronic ballasts of
lighting systems, power supplies, electronic converters of solar panels/windmills and (long) wave radio stations,
which may cause interference with Nedap Animal Identification.
No claims, representations or warranties, whether expressed or implied, are made by Nedap as to the
performance, reliability, durability and safety of Nedap Animal Identification used in conjunction with
abovementioned or other devices.
In order to achieve optimal performance of Nedap Animal Identification, the electrical installation on the farm
needs to meet the conditions that are shown below.
• Maximum allowed environmental noise level: 10 dBµA/m quasi peak, according to CISPR 16-1-1.
• Maximum allowed conducted noise: according to EN55032: 2015.
