Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration – Guidance for Separation Distances*
Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications
Equipment and the Smith & Nephew VULCAN Generator
The VULCAN Generator is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or user of the VULCAN Generator can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the VULCAN Generator as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
Rated Maximum Output
Power of Transmitter W
Separation Distance According to Frequency of Transmitter m
150 KHz to 80 MHz
d = 1.2 √ P
80 MHz to 800 MHz
d = 1.2 √ P
800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
d = 2.3 √ P
0.01 0.12 0.12 0.23
0.1 0.38 0.38 0.73
1 1.2 1.2 2.3
10 3.8 3.8 7.3
100 12 12 23
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.
Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration – Electromagnetic Emissions*
The Smith & Nephew VULCAN™ Generator is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified
