DIGI44-U2 Maximum Permissible Exposure FCC, Part 15 §1.1310 Industry Canada RSS-Gen §5.6 Calculations for Maximum Permissible Exposure Levels Power Density = Pd (mW/cm 2 ) = EIRP/(4d 2 ) EIRP = P * G P = Peak output power (mW) G = Antenna numeric gain (numeric) d = Separation distance (cm) Numeric Gain = 10 ^ (G (dBi)/10) Because the EUT belongs to the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure the limit of power density is 1.0 mW/cm 2 The calculations in the table below use highest gain antennas for the client EUT. Where the antenna gain exceeds 6dBi the transmitter power is reduced where necessary to meet the EIRP requirements. These calculations represent worst case in terms of the exposure levels. Freq. Band (MHz) Antenna Gain (dBi) Numeric Gain (numeric) Peak Output Power (dBm) Peak Output Power (mW) Calculated Safe Distance @ 1mW/cm 2 Limit(cm) Minimum Separation Distance (cm) 900 - 928 8.1 6.5 28.1 645.7 18.3 20 900 - 928 15.1 32.4 20.9 123.0 17.8 20 Note: for mobile or fixed location transmitters the minimum separation distance is 20cm, even if calculations indicate the MPE distance to be less. Specification Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits FCC §1.1310 Limit = 1mW / cm 2 from 1.310 Table 1 RSS-Gen §5.6 Category I and Category II equipment shall comply with the applicable requirements of RSS-102.
