• INSTALLATION NOTES

The installation of this equipment should be made in such a

manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic

eldexposurelimits(1999/519/EC).

The maximum RF power available from this device is 2 watts.

The antenna should be installed as high as possible for maxi-

mum efﬁciency and that this installation height should be

at least 5 meters above ground (or accessible) level. In the

case where an antenna cannot be installed at a reasonable

height, then the transmitter should neither be continuously

operated for long periods if any person is within 5 meters of

the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the

antenna.

In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter

being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation lim-

its are speciﬁed as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the

transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio

licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the

transmitter after 1 to 2 minutes etc.

Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have

a lower ‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even

lower.
