Training information
The SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder is designed for occupational use only and is also classified as such. It
must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards as well as the way to
minimize those hazards.
The unit is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public. The SAILOR
6282 AIS Transponder has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational
Use Only. The unit also complies with the following guidelines and standards regarding RF energy and
electromagnetic energy levels including the recommended levels for human exposure:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the measurement of
potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields - RF and microwaves.
Below is a description of the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the unit within the
FCC RF exposure limits established for it.
Warning
Your SAILOR unit generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when it is transmitting. To
ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond FCC
allowable limits for occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure to RF
energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1 ft. (0.25 m)
for the maximum power of your unit (12.5 W selected) with a half wave omni-directional antenna having
a maximum gain of 3 dB (5.2 dBi). This means all persons must be at least 1 ft. (0.25 m) away from the
antenna when the unit is transmitting.
Alerte de Sécurité
Dangers liés á l'exposition aux fréquences radio et instructions. Conformément á la réglementation
d'industrie Canada, le present radio emetteur ne peut fonctionner qu'avec une antenne de type
omnidirectionelle, demi-onde ou d'un gain maximale de 3 dB, approuvée par Industrie Canada. Pour
éviter les risques pour la santé dûs á une exposition excessive aux champs de fréquences radio, une
distance minimale de 25 cm est nécessaire entre l'utilisateur et le radio-émetteur.
Installation
The SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder is designed for installation by a skilled service person.
1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of 5.2 dBi must be mounted at least 7.6 ft.
(2.25 m) above the highest deck where people may be staying during radio transmissions. The
distance is to be measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum
separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE
radius of 1 ft. (0.25 m) plus the 6.6 ft. (2 m) height of an adult.
2. On vessels that cannot fulfill requirements in item 1, the antenna must be mounted so that its lowest
point is at least 1 ft. (0.25 m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons must be
outside the 1 ft. (0.25 m) MPE radius during radio transmission.
• Always mount the antenna at least 1ft (0.25 m) from possible human access.
