Specifically, 47CFR 1.1310, Table 1, Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. This device must be operated as supplied by XetaWave LLC. Any changes or modifications made to the device without the express written approval of XetaWave LLC may void the users authority to operate the device, pose violations and liabilities. Caution The Xeta2m-T has a nominal (rated) transmitter output power of:
- All modulations and bandwidths in the 217-220 MHz band: 2 Watts
- MSK, 15 KHz, 220-222 MHz: 3 Watts
- MSK, 50 KHz, 220-222 MHz: 2 Watts
- All other modulations and bandwidths, 220-222 MHZ: 5 Watts The transmit antenna shall be kept at least 61.65cm from physical space where humans may exist. Additional details may be found in the RF Exposure Calculations at the end of this section. Integration FCC ID:
When the module is installed inside of another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must display a label referring to the enclosed module. The exterior label will use the wording: Contains FCC ID: PEJ-XETA2 Serial # X00000000 1234 1234 Model # XETA2-E Contains FCC ID: PEJ-XETA2 Input Voltage: 12 VDC This device compiles with Part 80 and Part 90 of the FCC rules. Made in the USA by Xetawave, LLC Louisville, CO 80027 (303) 447-2745 www.xetawave.com 2 WARNING These radio systems shall be installed by a RF/radio professional familiar with the applicable rules. Installation of all antennas shall be performed in a manner that will provide at least the MPE Distance from the direction of maximum radiation, to any user or member of the public and consistent with the settings in the applicable antenna installation compliance section below. FCC antenna compliance Since professional installation is required, standard RF connectors are used. Adapters or custom coaxial cables may be required to connect the radio output connector to the desired antenna. Any antenna from a reputable manufacturer with desired bandwidth, gain/pattern coverage, and have an input impedance of approximately 50 ohms can be used. Exposure Compliance FCC ID: PEJ-XETA2 It is the responsibility of the licensee or user to guarantee compliance with the appropriate MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described herein. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or oriented such that it does not emit an RF field in excess guidelines as posted in the 47 CFR Bulletin 65/47CFR 1.1310 of the Federal Communications Commission. The XetaWave XETA2 uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may also pose a health hazard in the near field. People should not be near the antenna when the radio link is operating as general practice and maintain a safe distance as calculated below. The following calculations are based off the Maximum Permissible Exposure requirements as outlined by the FCC. The MPED (Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance) is calculated based on the limits for a General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure in the 30 -300 MHz frequency band using the stated MPE power density limit of 0.2 mW/cm2. The following table provides safe distance for several power levels and antennas besides the worst case for convenience. To calculate safe distance:
3 Equation 2:
Where: MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance. All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities. The exposure limit, MPED, and conducted power units must be consistent, mW and cm for this case. Duty cycle is set using packet sizes for master and slave. Packet sizes are set in the radio Network Configuration Menu. At Power up and with no data transmitting, the radios will transmit or beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10% depending upon modulation setting. The maximum Duty Cycle is 100%.

Frequency (Master and Slave)
-
- Modulation Type The installer shall set the frequency (or pair of frequencies) according to the requirements of the users license. There are different modulations and bandwidths available. The available modulations are limited to those listed in paragraph 1.1, and further limited by frequency selection. A modulation shall be selected according to the bandwidth (channel size and number of channels) that is specified in the users license. Lower speeds have generally better sensitivity and longer range, while higher speeds offer greater data throughput. 1.6 Password The installer shall set a password for the end-product to prevent alteration of the radio parameters by unauthorized parties. The procedure for setting the password is described in the user manual for the end-product that incorporates the Xeta2m-T. 7
