Notice

Due to the nature of wireless communication, the reception or transmission of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted, or never received. Data transfer problems are rare with well-constructed and configured wireless networks used in conjunction with devices such as the CTM-500 wireless gateway Cypress Solutions Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind including, but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property due to the delay or loss of data resulting from the use of the CTM-500 wireless gateway.

Operation in hazardous/restricted environments

Wireless transmitters can cause interference with some critical operation equipment. For this reason, it is required that the RF portion of the CTM-500 wireless gateway be turned off when in the vicinity of blasting operations, medical equipment, life support equipment, or any other equipment that is susceptible to radio interference. The CTM-500 wireless gateway must be turned off when on-board or in the vicinity of any aircraft. The FAA prohibits the use of wireless transmitter equipment at any time during aircraft flight.

Regulatory restrictions

CAUTION: Any modifications to the CTM-500 wireless gateway not expressly authorized by Cypress Solutions Inc. may cause its regulatory approval status to become invalidated, thereby voiding your authority to use the product.

The CTM-500 wireless gateway contains a wireless module approved under FCC CFR 47 part 2.1091 and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) RSS-102 rules for operation as a mobile or fixed device with its specified antenna of gain ≤6dBi and from which a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8”) must be maintained from all persons at all times and during all modes of operation.  Internal antennas are not available, when external antennas are used, the antennas used must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. These rules are in place to prevent any possible hazard due to personal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

CTM-500 devices are designed to operate with the approved wireless module installed. The module has its own FCC and Industry Canada approval ID number.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – United States FCC Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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 commercial 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 communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful 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:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving/transmitting antenna(s)

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Canada Information

This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference causing equipment standard entitles “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
