Regulatory information

The WAP-200 complies with the following radio frequency and safety standards.

This device requires professional installation.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Colubris Networks for

compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Installation and

operating configurations of this transmitter, including antenna gain and cable loss, must

satisfy MPE Categorical Exclusion Limits of 2.1091. The antenna(s) used for this

transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all

persons and must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna

or transmitter. Installers and end users must be provided with operating instructions and

antenna installation conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance requirements.

Canada—

Industry Canada

(IC)

This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme aux normes NMB-003 et CNR 210

d’Industrie Canada.

This device may not cause interference, and this device must accept any interference,

including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This device is designed to operate with the Centurion WTS2450-RPSMA antenna,

having a maximum gain of 2.5 dBi @ 2.4 GHz, 3.0 dBi @ 5.3 GHz, and 3.4 dBi @

5.7 GHz. Antennas having a gain that is greater than those listed are strictly prohibited

for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

For devices with a detachable antenna, to reduce potential radio interference to other

users, antenna type and gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically

radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

USA—Federal

Communica-

tions Commis-

sion (FCC)

The WAP-200 complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation of the WAP-200 in a

system is subject to the following two conditions:

•

This device may not cause harmful interference.

•

This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution! Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of the WAP-200 is far below the FCC radio frequency

exposure limits. Nevertheless, the WAP-200 should be used in a manner that minimizes

the potential for human contact during normal operation. When using this device in

combination with Colubris Networks antenna products, a certain separation distance

between the antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure

compliance.

When an external antenna is connected to the WAP-200, the antenna shall be placed in

a manner that minimizes the potential for human contact during normal operation. To

avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human

proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal

operation.

When no external antenna is connected, the RF output power of the WAP-200 is far

below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, it is advised to use the

WAP-200 in a manner that minimizes human contact during normal operation.
