RF Safety

WARNING
To protect from overexposure to RF energy, observe the safety guidelines in this
section.

1.8.1 RF Exposure Near the Antenna

Minimum separation distance: Install the radios for the PTP 500 family of PTP wireless
solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons.
The minimum separation distances for each frequency variant are specified in Section 1.8.4
"Calculated Distances and Power Compliance Margins".
Avoid standing in front of the antenna: When the system is operational, avoid standing
directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The
Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed in a location where it is possible for people to
stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.

1.8.2 Limits and Guidelines for RF Exposure

OET Bulletin 65.
•
Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at

•
EN 50383:2002 Basic standard for the calculation and measurement of electromagnetic
field strength and SAR related to human exposure from radio base stations and fixed
terminal stations for wireless telecommunication systems (110 MHz - 40 GHz).
•
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for
the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at
