What is EMC?

Electromagnetic compatibility describes a level of performance of a device within its electromagnetic
environment. This environment consists of the device itself and its surroundings including other
equipment, power sources and persons with which the device must interface. Inadequate compatibility
results when a susceptible device fails to perform as intended due interference from its environment or
when the device produces unacceptable levels of emission to its environment. This interference is often
referred to as radio–frequency or electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and can be radiated through
space or conducted over interconnecting power of signal cables. In addition to electromagnetic energy,
EMC also includes possible effects from electrical fields, magnetic fields, electrostatic discharge and
disturbances in the electrical power supply.
For more information refer to the appropriate version of the LOGIQ Totus User Manual Chapter 2, or
the appropriate LOGIQ Totus Release Notes.

Compliance

LOGIQ Totus conforms to all applicable conducted and radiated emission limits and to immunity from
electrostatic discharge, radiated and conducted RF fields, magnetic fields and power line transient
requirements.
Applicable standards are: IEC60601-1-2:2014 (Ed.4).
NOTE: For CE Compliance, it is critical that all covers, screws, shielding, gaskets, mesh, and clamps
are in good condition and installed tightly without skew or stress. Proper installation following
