The WEEE Directives are being implemented in each of the 28 EU and European
Economic Area (EAA) countries through national legislation. This has resulted in
considerable variation in the detailed requirements across the EU, many of which require
presence in the EU. As a result, Exalt’s WEEE compliance approach is to require the
distributors and/or resellers in the EU to comply with each country’s national legislation
by registration of the distributor or reseller as the producer and for the reseller/distributor
to carry out and fulfill the legislative requirements of each national compliance scheme.

EU RoHS
RoHS is the acronym used to refer to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC on
the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment. Hazardous materials are those chemicals and substances that are
legislatively, market, or customer banned or restricted for use in products and/or
manufacturing. There are six (6) RoHS substances: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury
(Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr+6), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE). Other countries may be introducing legislation
that results in similar restrictions of hazardous substances. Many Exalt products will
continue to use lead-based solder under the exemption allowed for network infrastructure
equipment. Small amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and
PBDE can also be found in a few electrical and electrical components.
Europe Compliance
The EX-2.4i family operates under EN 300 328 rules as a license-exempt device. The
EX-4.9i devices are currently not permitted in any EU member or affiliate countries. The
EX-5i family operates under EN 301 893 and EN 302 502 rules as a license-exempt
device. All of these permitted devices must be professionally installed. They may only be
used as a point-to-point transmission device for fixed or temporary-fixed (non-mobile)
installations. The devices are subject to the following restrictions:
• Do not use external amplifiers to boost the power or overcome transmission system
losses, unless the specific amplifier/cable/antenna combination has expressly been
authorized by the specific country regulations. The output power must never exceed
that specified in the Tables 1 and 2.
