Page 3: General Information
For details contact your local authority/recycling centre. Environmental The INCAM-G is IPxx rated and it must be protected from dripping or splashing water/fluids. When installed in a camera and used outdoors the unit should be protected by the rain cover which is normally used to protect the camera.
Page 4: Health & Safety
It is important to note that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Gigawave use, a maximum power density limit (w) of 1w/m² is to be applied when calculating minimum safe working distances.
Page 5: Maximum Rf Power Density Limits
Different power density / frequency characteristics are presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of uncertainty, Gigawave recommends the use of a single power density limit across the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.
