    Electromagnetic Compatibility Electromagnetic Compatibility Electromagnetic Compliance The Voyager has been tested for compliance with current regulatory standards regarding its capacity to block EMI (electromagnetic interference) from external sources. Nonetheless, some procedures can help reduce electromagnetic interferences: • Use only ArjoHuntleigh cables and spare parts to avoid increased emissions or decreased immunity which can compromise the correct functioning of the equipment.

  • Page 27: Electromagnetic Immunity

    Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration - Electromagnetic Immunity - For all Equipment and Systems The Voyager is intended for use in electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Voyager should assure that it is used in such an environment.
  • Page 28 To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Voyager is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Voyager should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Voyager.
  • Page 29 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Voyager. The Voyager is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Voyager can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the Voyager as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
