MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMITS
Do not transmit with this basestation and antenna when persons are within the MPE Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius
is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than
the allowable MPE level set by the FCC.
WARNING
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW ALL PERSONS WITHIN
THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION, WHICH
EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BASESTATION OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL
TIMES DURING BASESTATION TRANSMISSION. THE BASESTATION
OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE
RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS SHOWN BELOW.
DETERMINING MPE RADIUS
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF 24 FEET
MAXIMUM ASSUMING THE HIGHEST EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER (ERP) ALLOWABLE UNDER FCC
RULES FOR BASESTATION ANTENNA INSTALLATIONS. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE ERP LEVEL BY THE FCC AND 100 PERCENT DUTY CYCLE. THE MPE
CALCULATIONS WERE MADE ASSUMING WORST CASE IN EACH BAND WITH RESPECT TO
FREQUENCY, ERP AND LIMIT. THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE ERP WAS DETERMINED FROM THE
APPLICABLE PART 90 RULES REGARDING POWER LIMITATION ( 90.205, 90.309, 90.635 ). THE LIMIT
USED WAS FOR UNCONTROLLED EXPOSURE. THE FORMULA USED WAS DERIVED FROM OET 65,
SECTION 2, EQUATION 4.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
YOUR M/A-COM MASTR III BASESTATION GENERATES RF
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY DURING TRANSMIT MODE. THIS BASESTATION
IS DESIGNED FOR AND CLASSIFIED AS “OCCUPATIONAL USE ONLY”
MEANING IT MUST BE USED ONLY IN THE COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT BY
INDIVIDUALS AWARE OF THE HAZARDS AND THE WAYS TO MINIMIZE SUCH
HAZARDS. THIS BASESTATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY THE “GENERAL
POPULATION” IN AN UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BASESTATION OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS DETERMINED IN THE PREVIOUS
SECTION ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING TRANSMISSION. THE
BASESTATION OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME
WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
This basestation has been examined and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are beyond the MPE radius
of the antenna. In addition, your M/A-COM basestation complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to
RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
