SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Important information on safe and efficient operation. Read this information before using the unit

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Intelpage IP contains a low power radio transmitter. When it is ON, it transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.

Your Intelpage IP is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy (EME):

United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1- 1992

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998

National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom 1995

Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999

Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-Human Exposure) Standard 1999

The maximum power density for a VHF or UHF Intelpage IP is 4.0 watts power output at a distance of 20cm (7.9 inch) is calculated at 0.79mW / cm². The recommended minimum distance between the Intelpage IP antenna and the human body or face is 30cm (12inches).

To assure optimal performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the device. Do NOT hold the antenna when the device is in use. Holding the antenna affects signal quality and may cause the Intelpage IP to operate at a higher power level than needed. Do not use Intelpage IP with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. The Intelpage IP antenna port shall only be connected to internal antennas located with the same building as the main equipment.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

SELV warning

The Fusion Intelpage IP and Alarm Dispatch modules have been assessed as SELV throughout, all ports shall be connected to approved SELV circuits or an approved isolation unit shall be used.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Do not operate the Intelpage IP in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, do not use the Intelpage IP near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
