GUARDIAN™ HIGH SPEC RADIO MODEM User Manual PN 001‐5006‐000 Rev 0 Revised February 2010 REVISION HISTORY REV DATE REVISION DETAILS 0 February 25, 2010 Initial Release as 001‐5006‐000. IMPORTANT NOTICE Because of the nature of wireless communication, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Guardian are used in a normal manner with a well‐constructed network. Guardian should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. CalAmp accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using Guardian, or for the failure of Guardian to transmit or receive such data. COPYRIGHT NOTICE © Copyright 2007 CalAmp. Products offered may contain software proprietary to CalAmp. The offer of supply of these products and services does not include or infer any transfer of ownership. No part of the documentation or information supplied may be divulged to any third party without the express written consent of CalAmp. RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS The Guardian radio is intended for use in the Industrial Monitoring and Control and SCADA markets. The Guardian unit must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance listed in the table below between the radiating structure and any person. An antenna mounted on a pole or tower is the typical installation and in rare instances, a 1/2‐wave whip antenna is used. Antenna Gain 5 dBi 10 dBi 15 dBi Min Safety Distance (VHF @ max Power) 123cm 218.8cm 389cm Min Safety Distance (UHF @ max Power) 105.7cm 188cm 334.4cm Min Safety Distance (900 MHz @ max power) 63.8cm 115 cm 201.7 cm Note: It is the responsibility of the user to guarantee compliance with the FCC MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described above. The Guardian radio uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the antenna when the transmitter is operating. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. RF E REGULATORY CERTIFICATIONS The Guardian radio is available in several different models each with unique frequency bands. Each model of Guardian may have different regulatory approval as shown in the table below. UL Certification All models UL approved when powered with a listed Class 2 source. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY FOR MODEL # 140-5046-400 This device (Guardian model #140‐5046‐400) is a data transceiver intended for commercial and industrial use in all EU and EFTA member states.

Guardian Tune Up Procedure The radio will be connected to an automatic testing station where a software program will tune all the radio parameters. The following instructions summarize the procedure for tuning the output power. The tuning program will key up the radio at four points across the band and sets the power to 10W. Power control is achieved by controlling the voltage on the first stage of the transmitter, which controls the RF drive to the following stages. The power output is programmable by using a digital to analog converter (DAC) on the RF board. This DAC is controlled by the on-board microprocessor. Once the DAC value is determined for these four frequencies the processor interpolates the DAC value for frequencies in between the calibrated frequencies. This ensures equal power output across the entire RF band. The tuning program then will tune the radio at four points across the band at 1W by following the same procedure. The processor interpolates the DAC value for power values between the calibrated powers. Note: Deviation is a preprogrammed set value for all radios.
RF Exposure Compliance Requirements Guardian Analog Telemetry Radio Modem FCC Rule: 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 (b) (d), 2.1093 Description of Compliance: The Guardian will be professionally installed in the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) market and will be mounted with a fixed RTU (Remote Terminal Unit).
