Fcc Regulations - Ritron DTXM II Series User Manual

F designates the regulator option
Example: A DTXM-460-OBN6I would be a UHF module for operation between 450 and 470 MHz with a
BNC RF connector, narrow (12.5 kHz channel spacing) IF bandwidth, 6 watts maximum output power, and
an internal regulator to allow operation from 10 to 15 volts.

FCC REGULATIONS

1.3.1 Licensing
The FCC requires that the radio owner obtain a station license for his radio before using the equipment to
transmit, but does not require an operating license or permit. The station licensee is responsible for proper
operation and maintenance of his radio equipment, and for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and
deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. This includes checking the transmitter
frequency and deviation periodically using appropriate methods.
1.3.2 Equipment Authorization (Certification)
At the time of this publication, March, 2014, none of the DTXM-X60 series products have been
certified and thus, cannot be operated in those bands/countries that require an equipment
authorization.
This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications
Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until
authorization is obtained.
1.3.3 Radio Frequency Exposure
The FCC, with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment.
The DTXM product family has been evaluated for compliance with the maximum exposure limits for RF
energy at the maximum power rating of the unit and with the only antenna sold for use with this product by
RITRON. To ensure compliance with the General Population/Uncontrolled maximum exposure limits,
please observe the following:
When the Ritron RAM-1545 remote magnetic mount antenna is used, mount the antenna in a location that
will ensure that all persons will be located away from the antenna by the following minimum distances:
Model
DTXM-160-0BX6
DTXM-260-0BX6
DTXM-460-0BX3
DTXM-460-0BX6
DTXM-460-0BX9
Antennas other than the Ritron RAM-1545 must be tested with the DTXM for RF exposure compliance in the
environment in which it is to be used per the FCC's OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 or Industry Canada RSS-
102.
I=Internal regulator (10-16 VDC operation with regulated RF power amplifier)
D=No regulator (7.5 VDC operation)
L=RF PA is unregulated, but the remainder of the modem is regulated (10-watt versions)
Minimum Distance
13.7 in. (34.8 cm)
5.7 in. (14.4 cm)
6.4 in. (16.2 cm)
8.3 in. (21.0 cm)
