Antenna Specifications
The MP9320 is factory calibrated for operation with the following type of antenna:
The following antenna cable type is suggested:
Caution - Regulatory Requirements
This device has been designed to operate with no more than 1 Watt into the antenna
and an antenna gain of no more than 6 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly
prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada, unless power into the antenna is
decreased to compensate for the increased antenna gain.The required antenna
impedence is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not
more than that required for successful communication.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or
pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the
general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’a website
at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hecs-sesc/ccrpb/safetycodes.htm.
