Waters Alliance iS - Audience and Purpose; Intended Use of the Alliance Is CHC; EMC Considerations; FCC Radiation Emissions Notice

1.4.2 Audience and purpose
This guide is intended for use only by professionally trained and qualified laboratory personnel
who operate and maintain Waters products.
1.4.3 Intended use of the Alliance iS CHC
The Alliance iS Column Heater Cooler (CHC) is an AC-powered device that houses the fluidics
column used to perform HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) separations for the
Alliance iS system. The CHC assembly can provide temperature to the column from 4 °C to
90 °C. If the LC column is equipped with a passive NFC tag (13.56 MHz), it is read when the
front door of the CHC is closed. The antenna circuitry is normally not active until the door closure
service event. Data from the tag is stored in the system.
1.5 EMC considerations
1.5.1 FCC radiation emissions notice
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
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
environment. 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
with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference, in which case the user is required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
1.5.1.1 FCC RF exposure warning
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits,
