If a detachable RF connector is introduced in RF path it must be a non-standard type RP-
SMA, U.Fl etc. The modules have been approved with the following external quarter wave
antennas:
Part number Manufacturer Specified gain Connenctor
W915-RS EAD 3.0 dBi RP-SMA
MWR915-RS EAD 2.0 dBi RP-SMA
WR868(FWR835021-
RS-RA)
EAD 1.0 dBi RP-SMA
WS868(FWS835021-
RS-RA) EAD 1.0 dBi RP-SMA
ISM915/B/SMA/RP90 Cti 2.0 dBi RP-SMA
ISM915/B/SMA/RP Cti 2.0 dBi RP-SMA
Any use of antenna with gain > 3 dBi is strictly forbidden.
The output power of RC1290 is below the FCC threshold requiring that it be tested for SAR
compliance.
La puissance de sortie du RC1290 est inférieur au seuil FCC nécessitant que des tests de
conformité SAR soient réalisés.
This device has been designed to operate with an quarter wave antenna having a maximum
gain of 3 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Cet appareil a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne 1/ d'ondes ayant un gain
maximum de 3 dBi. Utiliser une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les
règlements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication.
Pour réduire le risque d'interférence pour les autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain
doivent être choisies de façon que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) n'est
pas supérieure à celle requise pour une communication réussie.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such
that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population;
consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb
Le programme d'installation de cet équipement radio doit s'assurer que l'antenne est située
ou orientée de façon à ne pas émettre de champ RF dépassant les limites de Santé Canada
pour la population en général, consulter le Code de sécurité 6, disponible sur le site Web de
Santé Canada www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb
