National Instruments PCI-1411, PXI-1411 Compliance

Compliance

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference.

The FCC places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-

commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). Depending on where it is

operated, this product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the Department of

Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.)

Digital electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless

products. By examining the product you purchased, you can determine the FCC Class and therefore which of the two

FCC/DOC Warnings apply in the following sections. (Some products may not be labelled at all for FCC, if so the

reader should then assume these are Class A devices.)

FCC Class A products only display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and

undesired operation. Most of our products are FCC Class A. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations

where FCC Class A products can be operated.

FCC Class B products display either a FCC ID code, starting with the letters EXN,

or the FCC Class B compliance mark that appears as shown here on the right.

The curious reader can consult the FCC web site http://www.fcc.gov for more

information.

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the

instructions in this manual and the CE Mark Declaration of Conformity**, may cause interference to radio and

television reception. Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

and the Canadian Department of Communications (DOC).

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the user’s authority to operate

the equipment under the FCC Rules.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant topart 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the

equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in

which case the user will be required to correct theinterference at his own expense.

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du

Canada.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant topart 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference toradio communic ations. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
