Compliance Statement acc. to Sect. 15.19: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interfer- ence, and (2) this device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Indus- trie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas pro- duire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compro- mettre le fonctionnement. User Information acc. to Sect.15.21: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Class B Statement Sect. 15.105 –) NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener- ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer- ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or r elocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equip- ment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the re- ceiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Legal notes Statement acc. to RSS-Gen 7.1.2 Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain ap- proved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication Installation and Operation VIBCONNECT ® RF Wireless Online Condition Monitoring Edition: May 2014 Order no.: LIT 72.200.EN Translation of the german manual Modules: VIB 7.220, VIB 7.225 VIBCONNECT RF Bridge VIB 7.200, VIB 7.205 VIBCONNECT RF Sensor unit VIB 7.205-2.9EX VIBCONNECT RF sensor Firmware : 2.1x 2 VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Foreword Foreword Thank you for purchasing our VIBCONNECT RF online condition monitoring system.

If the minimum limit margin appears to be less than 20 dB with a peak mode measurement, the emissions are remeasured using a tuned receiver with quasi-peak and average detection and recorded on the data sheets.

The minimum 6 dB bandwidth shall be at least 500 kHz. 5.2.4 Description of Measurement The bandwidth was measured at an amplitude level reduced from the reference level of a modulated channel by a ratio of -6 dB. The reference level is the level of the highest signal amplitude observed at the transmitter at either the fundamental frequency or the first order modulation products in all typical modes of operation, including the unmodulated carrier, even if atypical. An alternative is to use the bandwidth measurement of the analyser.

The EUT is connected via suitable attenuator at the spectrum analyser. The measurement is repeated for every different modulation standard of the EUT and recorded.

The limit is based on transmitting antennas of directional gain that do not exceed 6 dBi. 5.4.4 Description of Measurement The EuT was fixed mounted on the receiving antenna of the spectrum analyzer to find out the maximum power. An analyzer offset was tried to see the compliance to the measured radiated value. The transmitter output was directly connected to the spectrum analyzer. The center frequency of the spectrum analyzer is set to the fundamental frequency. The span of the spectrum analyzer should be larger than the emission bandwidth (EBW). The channel bandwidth has been set to EBW. With peak detector and power mode “Max Hold” the result is the summed maximum output power of the EBW.
