In residential, commercial and light industry environments, this apparatus may generate radio interference: in this case, the user may be required to operate while taking appropriate countermeasures. The apparatus is sensitive to the presence of external electromagnetic fields, which may reduce its performance. 5/ 22 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE US CUSTOMERS FCC ID: UFW-STREAMX200 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules: Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, Including interference that may cause undesired operation Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Operation of this device is restricted to law enforcement, fire and rescue officials, scientific research institutes, commercial mining companies, and construction companies. Operation by any other party is a violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties. Coordination Requirements. (a) UWB imaging systems require coordination through the FCC before the equipment may be used. The operator shall comply with any constraints on equipment usage resulting from this coordination. (b) The users of UWB imaging devices shall supply detailed operational areas to the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology who shall coordinate this information with the Federal Government through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The information provided by the UWB operator shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information of the user, the desired geographical area of operation, and the FCC ID number and other nomenclature of the UWB device. This material shall be submitted to the following address: Frequency Coordination Branch., OET Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 ATTN: UWB Coordination (d) Users of authorized, coordinated UWB systems may transfer them to other qualified users and to different locations upon coordination of change of ownership or location to the FCC and coordination with existing authorized operations. (e) The NTIA/FCC coordination report shall include any needed constraints that apply to day-to-day operations. Such constraints could specify prohibited areas of operations or areas located near authorized radio stations for which additional coordination is required before operation of the UWB equipment. If additional local coordination is required, a local coordination contact will be provided. (f) The coordination of routine UWB operations shall not take longer than 15 business days from the receipt of the coordination request by NTIA. Special temporary operations may be handled with an expedited turn- around time when circumstances warrant. The operation of UWB systems in emergency situations involving the safety of life or property may occur without coordination provided a notification procedure, similar to that contained in CFR47 Section 2.405(a)-(e), is followed by the UWB equipment user. Notice: Use of this device as a wall imaging system is prohibited by FCC regulations. 6/ 22 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE US CUSTOMERS FCC ID: STREAMX600 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules: Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1.

Calabresi, 20 – I-56121 PISA EUT classification Ground penetrating radar (GPR) General overwiew The STREAMX200 system is a Ground penetrating radar (GPR) system, i.e., according to the FCC definition, a field disturbance sensor that is designed to operate only when in contact with the ground for the purpose of detecting or obtaining the images of buried objects or determining the physical properties within the ground. The energy from the GPR is intentionally directed down into the ground for this purpose. The STREAMX200 product includes: • Up to 2 antennas (each one including one array of four couples of transmitting and receiving dipoles vertical polarisation) • The control unit (hereinafter referred as D.A.D – Digital Antenna Driver) that is linked to a laptop computer for storing the collected data. Following picture illustrates the connection scheme of the system with 2 antennas that is the worst case situation (the one that was tested) from the emission point of view.
