FCC 47 CFR § 1.1310: 5.6.1. Method of Measurements Refer to Sections 1.1310, 2.1091 In order to demonstrate compliance with MPE requirements (see Section 2.1091), the following information is typically needed: (1) Calculation that estimates the minimum separation distance (20 cm or more) between an antenna and persons required to satisfy power density limits defined for free space. (2) Antenna installation and device operating instructions for installers (professional/unskilled users), and the parties responsible for ensuring compliance with the RF exposure requirement (3) Any caution statements and/or warning labels that are necessary in order to comply with the exposure limits (4) Any other RF exposure related issues that may affect MPE compliance FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.247 – FHSS Page 223 of 225 XBEE SX RF Module, Model: XBSX FCC ID: MCQ-XBSX ULTRATECH GROUP OF LABS File #: 15DIGI102_FCC15C247 3000 Bristol Circle, Oakville, Ontario, Canada L6H 6G4 December 24, 2015 Tel. #: 905-829-1570, Fax. #: 905-829-8050, Email: [email protected] , Website: http://www.ultratech-labs.com All test results contained in this engineering test report are traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Calculation Method of RF Safety Distance: 22 44r EIRP r GP S       Where: P: power input to the antenna in mW EIRP: Equivalent (effective) isotropic radiated power S: power density mW/cm 2 G: numeric gain of antenna relative to isotropic radiator r: distance to centre of radiation in cm 5.6.2.
