Chapter 11. Certification Information and WEEE Compliance

Access Server is CE approved and Bluetooth qualified v. 2.0 + EDR. It has been measured against the following specification standards: ETSI EN 300 328 v1.6.1 / EN 301 489-1/17 / EN 60950-1 / FCC parts 15.247, 15.209, 15.207, 15.109 and 15.107. Supported Bluetooth profiles are: GAP, SDAP, LAN client and server, SPP A and B, FTP client and server, ObjP client and server, PAN-PANU, PAN-GN and PAN-NAP.

Hereby, Bluegiga Technologies declares that this Access Server is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

The device operation is subject to the following two 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.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Warning

Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Bluegiga Technologies Inc. may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

The radiated output power of Access Server is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, Access Server should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

To meet the FCC's exposure rules and regulations:

Please notice that the output power listed in the grant uses different units depending on the type of the equipment, e.g.:

  1. The output power for 802.11a/b/g/h equipment or similar equipment approved under §15.247 or §15.407 is listed as Conducted RF power. §15.247 or §15.407 limit the e.i.r.p. to 4 W, so this restriction is fulfilled.

  2. The output power for Part 22 cellular equipment is listed as e.r.p. The relationship between e.r.p. and e.i.r.p. is the following one:

    e.i.r.p. = 1.64 x e.r.p.

  3. The output power for Part 24 PCS equipment is listed as e.i.r.p.

  4. For other type of equipment, please consult the distributor in order to assure the restriction is fulfilled.

Note: Definitions:

Effective Radiated Power (e.r.p.) (in a given direction): The product of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to half-wave dipole in a given direction.

Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (e.i.r.p.) (in a given direction): The product of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to an isotropic antenna.

The table below is excerpted from Table 1B of 47 CFR 1.1310 titled Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE), Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure:

Table 11-1. Excerpt of Table 1B of 47 CFR 1.1310

Frequency Range (MHz)Power Density (mW/cm²)
300 - 1500f/1500
1500 - 1000001.0

The equipment WRAP Access Server equipment transmits in the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz frequency range, so the applicable MPE limit is 1 mW/cm². The equipment can be provided with up to 4 Bluetooth modules WT11# (FCC ID: QOQWT11):

Under the conditions stated above MPE limits can be guaranteed as the calculation below shows:

Example 11-1. 15.247 or 15.407 Compact Flash Card with maximum allowed e.i.r.p. of 4 W

Using Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01:

S Compact Flash card = Prad (e.i.r.p.) Compact Flash card / 4πR² = 4000 mW/4π(20 cm)²

S Compact Flash card = 0.795774 mW/cm²

S Total = S Bluetooth + S Compact Flash card = 0.003481 mW/cm² + 0.795774 mW/cm²

S Total = 0.799255 mW/cm² < 1 mW/cm²

Example 11-2. Part 22 Compact Flash Card with maximum e.r.p. of 1.5 W (Category excluded of MPE evaluation according to §2.1091)

Using Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 and considering that e.i.r.p. = 1.64 x e.r.p.:

S Compact Flash card = Prad (e.i.r.p.) Compact Flash card /4πR² = 1500 x 1.64 mW/4π(20 cm)²

S Compact Flash card = 0.489401 mW/cm²

S Total = S Bluetooth + S Compact Flash card = 0.003481 mW/cm² + 0.489401 mW/cm²

S Total = 0.492882 mW/cm² < 1 mW/cm²

Example 11-3. Part 24 Compact Flash Card with maximum e.r.p. of 3 W (Category excluded of MPE evaluation according to §2.1091)

Using Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 and considering that e.i.r.p. = 1.64 x e.r.p.:

S Compact Flash card = Prad (e.i.r.p.) Compact Flash card /4πR² = 3000 x 1.64 mW / 4π(20cm)²

S Compact Flash card = 0.978803 mW/cm²

S Total = S Bluetooth + S Compact Flash card = 0.003481 mW/cm² + 0.978803 mW/cm²

S Total = 0.982284 mW/cm² < 1 mW/cm²
