Industry Canada Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The Xirrus Arrays include radio transmitters and receivers. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) as referenced in
Health Canada Safety Code 6. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed into
the limit to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the
end user. It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at
least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines
which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
Minimum Separation Distance
Health Canada states that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in
further reducing your exposure you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the
user, placing the antennas at a greater separation distance than recommended, or lowering the
transmitter power output.
