extremes of temperature outside the ambient range 0 to 50°C (32° to 122°F),
precipitation, condensation, or humid atmospheres above 95% RH, altitudes (un-
pressurised) greater than 2000 metres, excessive dust or vibration, flammable gases,
corrosive or explosive atmospheres.

Operation in vehicles or other transportable installations that are equipped to provide a
stable environment is permitted. If such vehicles do not provide a stable environment,
safety of the equipment to EN60950 may not be guaranteed.

In accordance with the Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 91/263/EEC,
this equipment should not be directly connected to the Public Telecommunications
Network.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
In accordance with European Directive 89/336/EEC, the breakout panel has been shown,
by independent testing, to comply with the following standards:

Emissions:
EN 55022 Class B - Limits and methods of measurement of radio
interference characteristics of Information Technology Equipment.

(Also tested to FCC Part 15 Class B)

Immunity:
EN 50082 Part 1 - Generic immunity standard, Part 1: Domestic,
commercial and light industrial environment.

Additionally, the breakout panel has been shown to comply with the following standards:


EN 61000-3-2
Harmonic Currents Emission
EN 61000-3-3
Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker
EN 61000-4-2
ESD Immunity
EN 61000-4-4
EFT Burst Immunity
EN 61000-4-5
Surge Immunity
EN 61000-4-6
RF Conducted Immunity
EN 61000-4-8
Power frequency Magnetic Field Immunity
EN 61000-4-9
Pulse Magnetic Field Immunity
EN 61000-4-11
Voltage Dips, Interruptions, and Variations Immunity
EN 61000-4-13
Immunity to Harmonics

In order that the breakout panel continues to comply with
these standards, observe the following instructions:


Connections to the transmit and receive IF ports (Type N or Type F connectors)
should be made using a good quality coaxial cable - for example 50
or 75 .

All 'D' type connectors attached to the rear panel must have back-shells that provide
continuous metallic shielding. Cable with a continuous outer shield (either foil or
braid, or both) must be used, and the shield must be bonded to the backshell.

The equipment must be operated with its cover on at all times. If it becomes necessary
to remove the cover, the user should ensure that the cover is correctly re-fitted before
normal operation commences.
