Warning: The lithium battery may present a risk of re or chemical burn hazard if misused. Do not disassemble, heat above 212F (100C), or incinerate.
Warning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266F (130C) for 10 minutes can cause re and/or explosion.
e Warning: This detector contains a lithium polymer battery. Dispose of used lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble. Do not dispose of in re. Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be disposed of by a qualied recycler or hazardous materials handler.
Keep lithium cells away from children.
Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper operation and harm the detector.
e Warning: At the end of their working lives, sensors must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, in accordance with local waste management requirements and environmental legislation. Do NOT incinerate sensors as they may emit toxic fumes. a Cautions
Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety
Before using the detector, refer to Sensor Poisons and Contaminants.
Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualied personnel only. Read and understand the operators manual completely before operating or servicing.
Charge the detector before rst-time use. BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends the detector be charged after every workday.
Calibrate the detector before rst-time use and then on a regular schedule, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends that the sensor should be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensor before each days use to conrm its ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible, visual, and vibrator alarms are activated. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specied limits.
Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
Extended exposure of the detector to certain concentrations of combustible gases and air may stress an detector element that can seriously affect its viii ConneX1 Operators Manual Intended Use WARNING A sensor which cannot be calibrated or which is found to be out of tolerance should be replaced immediately. 1. Introduction The ConneX1 is a compact, portable gas detector designed to be carried or worn without hindering the user. Its purpose is to continuously monitor the atmosphere continuously for hazardous levels. Audible, visual, and vibratory alarms alert the user to danger when hazardous conditions are detected. 1.1 Intended Use The ConneX1 has been designed to alert the user to potentially hazardous atmospheres while carrying out his/her normal duties. Therefore, the detector must be kept switched on and worn as close to the breathing area as possible, and several accessories are provided to allow the detector to be worn in a number of different ways:
a. b. On the chest On a belt The detector is provided with various methods to enable the user to comply safely and easily with conned space regulations. CAUTION BW recommends that the detector be calibrated at least every 6 months or in accordance with customer site procedures, whichever ISSOONER#ORRECTOPERATIONOFTHEDETECTORSHOULDBECONlRMEDWITH
test gas of known concentration before each use. The use of the IntelliDoX accessory is strongly recommended as it enables a calibration to be performed quickly and easily.

Agent Authorization letter for radio certification FCC ID: R9O-CONNEX1; IC: 5461-CONNEX1 To whom so ever it may concern, Please be advised that BW Technologies, authorizes Suresh Kondapalli of TUV Rheinland of North America 1279 Quarry Lane, Suite A, Pleasanton California 94566 USA to act as agent on our behalf on all matters relating to applications for equipment authorizations before the Federal Communication Commission, including signing of documents related to these matters.
1 | Annex for RF Exposure to Energy | Users Manual | 157.57 KiB | October 05 2012 |
Exposure to RF Energy THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION. The CONNEX1 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government and by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The device also meets the European Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive, for protecting the health and safety of the user and other persons. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to operate within the limits for safe exposure established by the FCC and international organizations. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next to the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels (see below) evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value because the device operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section a n d http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: R9O-CONNEX1 and IC: 5164A-CONNEX1 ____________________________________________________________________________________ ConneX1 Operators Manual

Page 2 of 56 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 Introduction 1. This measurement report shows compliance of the BW Technologies Model ConnecX1 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 with FCC Part 2, 1093, ET Docket 93-62 Rules for mobile and portable devices and IC Certificate: 5164A-CONNEX1 with RSS102 & Safety Code 6. The FCC have adopted the guidelines for evaluating the environmental effects of radio frequency radiation in ET Docket 93-62 on August 6, 1996 to protect the public and workers from the potential hazards of RF emissions due to FCC regulated portable devices. [1], [6]
The test results recorded herein are based on a single type test of BW Technologies model ConnecX1 and therefore apply only to the tested sample. The test procedures, as described in ANSI C95.1 1999 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz [2], ANSI C95.3 2002 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields [3], FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supp. C 2001 [4], IEEE Std.1528 2003 Recommended Practice [5], and Industry Canada Safety Code 6 Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3kHz to 300 GHz were employed.

Page 3 of 56 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 2. SAR Measurement Setup Robotic System The measurements are conducted utilizing the ALSAS-10-U automated dosimetric assessment system. The ALSAS-10-U is designed and manufactured by Aprel Laboratories in Nepean, Ontario, Canada. The system utilizes a Robcomm 3 robot manufactured by ThermoCRS located in Michigan USA. System Hardware The system consists of a six axis articulated arm, controller for precise probe positioning
(0.05 mm repeatability), a power supply, a teach pendent for teaching area scans, near field probe, an IBM Pentium 4 2.66 GHz PC with Windows XP Pro, and custom software developed to enable communications between the robot controller software and the host operating system. An amplifier is located on the articulated arm, which is isolated from the custom designed end effector and robot arm. The end effector provides the mechanical touch detection functionality and probe connection interface. The amplifier is functionally validated within the manufacturers site and calibrated at NCL Calibration Laboratories. A Data Acquisition Card (DAC) is used to collect the signal as detected by the isotropic e-field probe. The DAC manufacturer calibrates the DAC to NIST standards. A formal validation is executed using all mechanical and electronic components to prove conformity of the measurement platform as a whole. System Description The ALSAS-10-U has been designed to measure devices within the compliance environment to meet all recognized standards. The system also conforms to standards, which are currently being developed by the scientific and manufacturing community. The course scan resolution is defined by the operator and reflects the requirements of the standard to which the device is being tested. Precise measurements are made within the predefined course scan area and the values are logged. The user predefines the sample rate for which the measurements are made so as to ensure that the full duty-cycle of a pulse modulation device is covered during the sample. The following algorithm is an example of the function used by the system for linearization of the output for the probe. UUV

Page 4 of 56 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 the diode to establish is evaluated The Aprel E-Field probe compression point. A complex algorithm is then used to calculate the values within the measured points down to a resolution of 1mm. The data from this process is then used to provide the co-ordinates from which the cube scan is created for the determination of the 1 g and 10 g averages. Cube scan averaging consists of a number of complex algorithms, which are used to calculate the one, and ten gram averages. The basis for the cube scan process is centered on the location where the maximum measured SAR value was found. When a secondary peak value is found which is within 60% of the initial peak value, the system will report this back to the operator who can then assess the need for further analysis of both the peak values prior to the one and ten-gram cube scan averaging process. The algorithm consists of 3D cubic Spline, and Lagrange extrapolation to the surface, which form the matrix for calculating the measurement output for the one and ten gram average values. The resolution for the physical scan integral is user defined with a final calculated resolution down to 1mm. In-depth analysis for the differential of the physical scanning resolution for the cube scan analysis has been carried out, to identify the optimum setting for the probe positioning steps, and this has been determined at 8mm increments on the X, & Y planes. The reduction of the physical step increment increased the time taken for analysis but did not provide a better uncertainty or return on measured values. The final output from the system provides data for the area scan measurements, physical and splined (1mm resolution) cube scan with physical and calculated values
(1mm resolution). The overall uncertainty for the methodology and algorithms the ALSAS-10-U used during the SAR calculation was evaluated using the data from IEEE 1528 f3 algorithm:

These values are calculated during the probe calibration exercise and are used in the mathematical calculations for the assessment of SAR. E-Field Probe The E-field probe used by RF Exposure Lab, LLC, has been fully calibrated and assessed for isotropic, and boundary effect. The probe utilizes a triangular sensor arrangement as detailed in the diagram below right. 2012 RF Exposure Lab, LLC This report shall not be reproduced except in full without the written approval of RF Exposure Lab, LLC. Page 5 of 56 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 DIPOLE SENSOR HIGH-
LINES DETECTOR DIODE The SAR is assessed with the probe which moves at a default height of 4mm from the center of the diode, which is mounted to the sensor, to the phantom surface (Z height). The diagram above right shows how the center of the sensor is defined with the location of the diode placed at the center of the dipole. The 4mm default in the Z axis is the optimum height for assessing SAR where the boundary effect is at its least, with the probe located closest to the phantom surface (boundary). The manufacturer specified precision of the robot is 0.05 mm and the precision of the APREL bottom detection device is 0.1 mm. These precisions are calibrated and tested in the manufacturing process of the bottom detection device. A constant distance is maintained because the surface of the phantom is dynamically detected for each point. The surface detection algorithm corrects the position of the robot so that the probe rests on the surface of the phantom. The probe is then moved to the measurement location 2.44 mm above the phantom surface resulting in the probe center location to be at 4.0 mm above the phantom surface. Therefore, the probe sensor will be at 4.0 mm above the phantom surface 0.1 mm for each SAR location for frequencies below 3 GHz. The probe is moved to the measurement location 1.44 mm above the phantom surface resulting in the probe center location to be at 2.0 mm above the phantom surface. Therefore, the probe sensor will be at 2.0 mm above the phantom surface 0.1 mm for each SAR location for frequencies above 3 GHz. The probe boundary effect compensation cannot be disabled in the ALSAS-10U testing system. The probe tip will always be at least half a probe tip diameter from the phantom surface. For frequencies up to 3 GHz, the probe diameter is 5 mm. With the sensor offset set at 1.54 mm (default setting), the sensor to phantom gap will be 4.0 mm which is greater than half the probe tip diameter. For frequencies greater than 3 GHz, the probe diameter is 3 mm. With the sensor offset set at 0.56 mm (default setting), the sensor to phantom gap will be 3.0 mm which is greater than half the probe tip diameter. The separation of the first 2 measurement points in the zoom scan is specified in the test setup software. For frequencies below 3 GHz, the user must specify a zoom scan resolution of less than 6 mm in the z-axis to have the first two measurements within 1 cm of the surface. The z-axis is set to 4 mm as shown on each of the data sheets in Appendix B. For frequencies above 3 GHz, the user must specify a zoom scan resolution of less than 3 mm in the z-axis to have the first two measurements within 5 mm of the surface. The z-axis is set to 2 mm as shown on each of the data sheets in Appendix B. The zoom scan volume for devices 3 GHz with a cube scan of 5x5x8 yields a volume of 32x32x28 mm3. For devices >3 GHz and <4.5 GHz, the cube scan of 9x9x9 yields a volume of 32x32x24 mm3. For devices 4.5 GHz, the cube scan of 7x7x12 yields a volume of 24x24x22 mm3. 2012 RF Exposure Lab, LLC This report shall not be reproduced except in full without the written approval of RF Exposure Lab, LLC.

Page 8 of 56 FCC ID: R90-CONNEX1 5. Phantom & Simulating Tissue Specifications SAM Phantom from the anthropomorphic data of The Aprel system utilizes three separate phantoms. Each phantom for SAR assessment testing is a low loss dielectric shell, with shape and the 90th dimensions derived percentile adult male head dimensions as tabulated by the US Army. The SAM phantom shell is bisected along the mid sagittai plane into right and left halves. The perimeter sidewalls of each phantom half is extended to allow filling with liquid to a depth of 15 cm that is sufficient to minimize reflections from the upper surface [5]. The Uni-Phantom is used to conduct body measurements and held to face measurements. The depth of the phantom allows for 15 cm of tissue material to be filled within the phantom. See photos in Appendix C. Head & Body Simulating Mixture Characterization The head and body mixtures consist of the material based on the table listed below. The mixture is calibrated to obtain proper dielectric constant (permittivity) and conductivity of the desired tissue. Body tissue parameters that have not been specified in P1528 are derived from the issue dielectric parameters computed from the 4-Cole-Cole equations.

Uncontrolled Environment Uncontrolled Environments are defined as locations where there is the exposure of individuals who have no knowledge or control of their exposure. The general population/uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity. Controlled Environment Controlled Environments are defined as locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by persons who are aware of the potential for exposure, (i.e. as a result of employment or occupation). In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.

Procedures Used To Establish Test Signal The device was either placed into simulated transmit mode using the manufacturers test codes or the actual transmission is activated through a base station simulator or similar equipment. See data pages for actual procedure used in measurement. Device Test Condition In order to verify that the device was tested at full power, conducted output power measurements were performed before and after each SAR measurement to confirm the output power unless otherwise noted. If a conducted power deviation of more than 5%
occurred, the test was repeated. The power drift of each test is measured at the start of the test and again at the end of the test. The drift percentage is calculated by the formula ((end/start)-1)*100 and rounded to three decimal places. The drift percentage is calculated into the resultant SAR value on the data sheet for each test. The EUT was programmed to be allow the changing of channels.. The EUT was configured continuously transmit at a maximum output power on the channel specified in the test data. The data rates used when evaluating the WiFi transmitter were the lowest data rates for each mode. The device was operating at its maximum output power at the lowest data rate for all measurements. The device is a belt worn device. It was tested on in the normal position with the clip touching the flat part of the phantom. The following is a pictorial drawing of the locations. The device has a maximum of 255 bits (49 ms) transmitted every 1 second. Therefore, the maximum duty cycle in 100 ms is 49%. The SAR values have been scaled to 49%

These measurements are taken to simulate the RF effects exposure under worst-case conditions. Precise laboratory measures were taken to assure repeatability of the tests. The tested device complies with the requirements in respect to all parameters subject to the test. The test results and statements relate only to the item(s) tested. Please note that the absorption and distribution of electromagnetic energy in the body is a very complex phenomena that depends on the mass, shape, and size of the body; the orientation of the body with respect to the field vectors; and, the electrical properties of both the body and the environment. Other variables that may play a substantial role in possible biological effects are those that characterize the environment (e.g. ambient temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and body insulation) and those that characterize the individual (e.g. age, gender, activity level, debilitation, or disease). Because innumerable factors may interact to determine the specific biological outcome of an exposure to electromagnetic fields, any protection guide shall consider maximal amplification of biological effects as a result of field-body interactions, environmental conditions, and physiological variables. 2012 RF Exposure Lab, LLC This report shall not be reproduced except in full without the written approval of RF Exposure Lab, LLC.

The Combined Standard Uncertainty is the standard uncertainty of the result of a measurement when that result is obtained from the values of a number of other quantities; it is equal to the positive square root of the sum of the variances or co-variances of these other quantities, weighted according to how the measurement result varies with changes in these quantities. The term standard uncertainty is the result of a measurement expressed as a standard deviation. 2.3.1 Sample Calculation radiated & conducted emissions The field strength is calculated by subtracting the Amplifier Gain and adding the Cable Loss and Antenna Correction Factor to the measured reading. The basic equation is as follows:
Field Strength (dBV/m) = RAW - AMP + CBL + ACF Where: RAW = Measured level before correction (dBV) AMP = Amplifier Gain (dB) CBL = Cable Loss (dB) ACF = Antenna Correction Factor (dB/m) Sample radiated emissions calculation @ 30 MHz V/m =

Intentional radiators operating under the alternative provisions to the general emission limits, must be designed to ensure that the 20 dB bandwidth of the emission, or whatever bandwidth may otherwise be specified in the specific rule section under which the equipment operates, is contained within the frequency band designated in the rule section under which the equipment is operated. The requirement to contain the designated bandwidth of the emission within the specified frequency band includes the effects from frequency sweeping, frequency hopping and other modulation techniques that may be employed as well as the frequency stability of the transmitter over expected variations in temperature and supply voltage. If the frequency stability is not specified in the regulations, it is recommended that the fundamental emission be kept within at least the central 80%
of the permitted band in order to minimize the possibility of out-of-band operation. Any frequency outside the band of 2400 MHz to 2483.5 MHz, the power output level must be below 30 dB from the in-band transmitting signal; CFR 47 Part 15.215, 15.247(d) and RSS 210 A8.5 4.3.1 Results The Out of band emission was performed on the conducted test Sample.

A.8.5 4.5.1 Test Methodology 4.5.1.1 Preliminary Test A test program that controls instrumentation and data logging was used to automate the preliminary RF emission test procedure. The frequency range of interest was divided into sub-ranges to yield a frequency resolution of approximately 120 kHz and provide a reading at each frequency for no more than 12 of turntable rotation. For each frequency sub-range the turntable was rotated 360 while peak emission data was recorded and plotted over the frequency range of interest in horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. Preliminary emission profile testing was performed inside the anechoic chamber. The EUT was placed on a 1.0m x 1.5m non-conductive table 80cm above the floor. The EUT was positioned as shown in the setup photographs. The receiving antenna was placed at a distance of 3m at a fixed height of 1m. Measurement equipment was located outside of the chamber. A video camera was placed inside the chamber to view the EUT. 4.5.1.2 Final Test For each frequency measured, the peak emission was maximized by manipulating the receiving antenna from 1 to 4 meters above the ground plane and placing it at the position that produced the maximum signal strength reading. The turntable was then rotated through 360 while observing the peak signal and placing the EUT at the position that produced maximum radiation. The six highest emissions relative to the limit were measured unless such emissions were more than 20 dB below the limit. If less than six emissions are within 20 dB of the limit, than the noise level of the receiver is measured at frequencies where emissions are expected. Multiples of all oscillator and microprocessor frequencies were also checked. Final testing was performed on an NSA compliant test site. The EUT was placed on a 1.0m x 1.5m non-
conductive table 80cm above the ground plane. The placement of EUT and cables were the same as for preliminary testing and is shown in the setup photographs. The final scans performed on the worst axis, Y-Axis, for three operating channels;
2412 MHz, 2437 MHz, and 2462 MHz at 1Mbit/s for 802.11b mode, Report Number: 31153356.001 EUT: Single Gas Wireless Detector Models: CNX1-X1-Y-NA, CNX1-H1-Y-NA, CNX1-M1-Y-NA and CNX1-S1-Y-NA EMC / Rev 3/20/2012 FCCID: R90-CONNEX1; IC: 5164A-CONNEX1 Page 35 of 75 TUV Rheinland Transmitter Spurious Emissions 1279 Quarry Lane, Ste.

The basic equation is as follows:
Field Strength (dBV/m) = FIM - AMP + CBL + ACF Where: FIM = Field Intensity Meter (dBV) AMP = Amplifier Gain (dB) CBL = Cable Loss (dB) ACF = Antenna Correction Factor (dB/m) V/m =

The spurious emissions of the receiver shall not exceed the values in CFR47 Part 15.109 and RSS GEN Sect 6.1. 4.6.1 Test Methodology 4.6.1.1 Preliminary Test A test program that controls instrumentation and data logging was used to automate the preliminary RF emission test procedure. The frequency range of interest was divided into sub-ranges to yield a frequency resolution of approximately 120 kHz and provide a reading at each frequency for no more than 12 of turntable rotation. For each frequency sub-range the turntable was rotated 360 while peak emission data was recorded and plotted over the frequency range of interest in horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. Preliminary emission profile testing was performed inside the anechoic chamber. The EUT was placed on a 1.0m x 1.5m non-conductive table 80cm above the floor. The EUT was positioned as shown in the setup photographs. The receiving antenna was placed at a distance of 3m at a fixed height of 1m. Measurement equipment was located outside of the chamber. A video camera was placed inside the chamber to view the EUT. 4.6.1.2 Final Test For each frequency measured, the peak emission was maximized by manipulating the receiving antenna from 1 to 4 meters above the ground plane and placing it at the position that produced the maximum signal strength reading. The turntable was then rotated through 360 while observing the peak signal and placing the EUT at the position that produced maximum radiation. The six highest emissions relative to the limit were measured unless such emissions were more than 20 dB below the limit. If less than six emissions are within 20 dB of the limit, than the noise level of the receiver is measured at frequencies where emissions are expected. Multiples of all oscillator and microprocessor frequencies were also checked. Final testing was performed on an NSA compliant test site. The EUT was placed on a 1.0m x 1.5m non-
conductive table 80cm above the ground plane. The placement of EUT and cables were the same as for preliminary testing and is shown in the setup photographs. 4.6.1.3 Deviations None.

The basic equation is as follows:
Field Strength (dBV/m) = FIM - AMP + CBL + ACF Where: FIM = Field Intensity Meter (dBV) AMP = Amplifier Gain (dB) CBL = Cable Loss (dB) ACF = Antenna Correction Factor (dB/m) V/m =

These test methods are listed under the laboratorys NVLAP Scope of Accreditation. This test measures the levels emanating from the EUTs AC input port, thus evaluating the potential for the EUT to cause radio frequency interference to other electronic devices. The AC conducted emissions of equipment under test shall not exceed the values in CFR47 Part 15.207:
2009 and RSS 210: 2010. 4.7.1 Test Methodology A test program that controls instrumentation and data logging was used to automate the AC Power Line Conducted emission test procedure. The frequency range of interest was divided into sub-ranges such as to yield a frequency resolution of 9 kHz. Each phase and neutral of the AC power line were measured with respect to ground. Measurements were performed using a set of 50H / 50 LISNs. Testing is either performed inLab 5. The setup photographs clearly identify which site was used. The vertical ground plane used in the semi-anechoic chamber is a 2m x 2m solid aluminum frame and panel, and it is bonded to the horizontal ground plane. In the case of tabletop equipment, the EUT is placed on a 1.0m x 1.5m non-conductive table 80cm above the ground plane and 40cm from a vertical ground reference plane. The rear of the EUT was positioned flush with the backside of the table and directly over the LISNs. The power and I/O cables were routed over the edge of the table and bundled approximately 40cm from the ground plane. Support equipment was powered from a separate LISN. 4.7.1.1 Deviations There were no deviations from this test methodology. 4.7.2 Test Results As originally tested, the EUT was found to be compliant to the requirements of the test standard(s).
