Page 124: Notes On Emc (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
Guidance and manufacturer's declaration - electromagnetic immunity for all equipment and systems MADSEN Itera II is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The user of MADSEN Itera II should ensure that it is used in such an envir- onment. - Page 125 TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. 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 MADSEN Itera II is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MADSEN Itera II should be observed to verify normal operation.
- Page 126 : At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. Note 2 : These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. Otometrics - MADSEN Itera II...
