The device when in operation is fixed and a safe distance could be maintained when events are undertaken. The device contains 2 transmitters that operate at similar power levels. In accordance with Section 1.1310 the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for the General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure of 1 mW/cm2 has been applied. The maximum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met or exceeded is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain and separation distance in metres: E, V/m = (√ (30 * P * G)) / d Power density, mW/cm2 = E2/3770 E for MPE: 1 = E2/3770 E = √1*3770 E = 61.4 V/m The highest radiated power has been measured to be +18.8 dBm or 0.078 watts EiRP when operating on 2440.000 MHz Therefore: E = √ (30 * P * G) / d d = √ (30 * P * G) / E d = √ (30 * 0.08) / 61.4 d = 0.025 m or 2.5 cm Result: Complies if a minimum safe distance of 20 cm is specified in the set up instructions for this system.

It creates a link between a wireless sensor and a monitoring system, typically a computer, using a 2.4 GHz Zigbee link between the sensor and the base station using either an Ethernet connection or a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN connection between the base station and the computer. The RF communications are driven by the CC2430 microprocessor and under normal operations the device will send a MAC acknowledgement response to any packets received. A low noise amplifier (LNA) and power amplifier stages are included within the device to ensure maximum range is achieved. The LNA is driven by a MAX2644 and the PA by a MAX2242. Testing was carried out using a supplied EMC te…
