Notice regarding Compliance with FCC, EU, and Industry Canada Requirements for RF Exposure

The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device also meets the European RF exposure requirements of EN 62311. If an alternate antenna is used, consult user documentation for required antenna specifications.

Compliance of the device with the FCC, EU, and IC rules regarding RF Exposure was established and is given with the maximum antenna gain as specified above for a minimum distance of 35 cm between the devices radiating structures (the antenna) and the body of users. Qualification for distances closer than 35 cm (portable operation) would require re-certification.

Wireless devices could generate radiation. Other nearby electronic devices, like microwave ovens, may also generate additional radiation to the user causing a higher level of RF exposure.

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.

  • Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
  • Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.
  • Do not place the antenna outdoors.
  • Turn off your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and may be illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
  • Turn off your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel‑fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle with fuel.
  • Turn off your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Sécurité relative aux appareils à radiofréquence (RF)

À cause du risque d'interférences de radiofréquence (RF), il est important de respecter toutes les réglementations spéciales relatives aux équipements radio. Suivez les conseils de sécurité ci-dessous.

  • Utiliser l'appareil à proximité d'autres équipements électroniques peut causer des interférences si les équipements ne sont pas bien protégés. Respectez tous les panneaux d'avertissement et les recommandations du fabricant.
  • Certains secteurs industriels et certaines entreprises limitent l'utilisation des appareils cellulaires. Respectez ces restrictions relatives aux équipements radio dans les dépôts de carburant, dans les usines de produits chimiques, ou dans les zones où des dynamitages sont en cours. Suivez les restrictions relatives à chaque type d'environnement où vous utiliserez l'appareil.
  • Ne placez pas l'antenne en extérieur.
  • Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les avions. L'utilisation d'appareils électroniques portables en avion est illégale: elle peut fortement perturber le fonctionnement de l'appareil et désactiver le réseau cellulaires. S'il ne respecte pas cette consigne, le responsable peut voir son accès aux services cellulaires suspendu ou interdit, peut être poursuivi en justice, ou les deux.
  • Éteignez votre appareil sans fil à proximité des pompes à essence ou de diesel avant de remplir le réservoir de votre véhicule de carburant.
  • Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les hôpitaux ou dans toutes les zones où des appareils médicaux sont susceptibles d'être utilisés.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.

The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for Pacemaker Wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:

  • Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
  • Cause the pacemaker to deliver pulses irregularly.
  • Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart’s own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.

Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause a problem.

  • Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device.
  • Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Vehicle Safety

When using your device in a vehicle:

  • Do not use this device while driving.
  • Respect local regulations on the use of cellular devices in vehicles.
  • If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, operating the wireless device could interfere with the vehicle’s electronics. To avoid such problems, use qualified personnel to install the device. The installer should verify that the vehicle electronics are protected from interference.
  • Using an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn is not permitted on public roads.
  • UL evaluated this device for use in ordinary locations only. UL did not evaluate this device for installation in a vehicle or other outdoor locations. UL certification does not apply or extend to use in vehicles or outdoor applications.

Antenna Information

Antenna

Depending on the model, your Base Station ships with one of the following antennas.

Important: Only use the MultiTech provided antenna. Using another antenna violates the FCC authorization.

Due to FCC 15.203 regulations, the MTCDTIP2 requires installation by a professional, to insure the integrity of the radio transmission system. The authority to operate the LoRa transmitter will be void if using antennas other than the ones listed in the following table. Contact MultiTech for additional antenna information.

Install a Ground Wire

Warning: This device MUST be grounded. Never operate the device without a suitable ground. Failure to properly ground the device voids the warranty.

Proper grounding of the enclosure is required to ensure safety and prevent equipment damage. The device enclosure has a grounding lug on the bottom (#2 in Connector Locations). Connecting the grounding lug to an earth ground is required. Refer to the National Electric Code or your local codes for additional information or contact a licensed electrician for assistance in grounding an installation.

Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Ground wire (not provided) must be suitable for outdoor location and meet a minimum wire gauge of 14 AWG or larger. Ground wire terminal (not provided) must be closed loop (ring type, see image) and corrosive free in design.



  1. Remove the nut on the grounding lug.
  2. Put the loop terminal on the grounding lug.
  3. Replace the nut and tighten to 10 in-lbs (11.5 kg.cm) or firmly by hand.
  4. Run the ground wire to a safe earth ground location where the energy can be dispersed.
Important: If using a PoE surge protector and/or shielded cable, ensure they are also properly grounded.

Mount to a Pole

You will need a mounting kit. MultiTech has mounting kits for a variety of pole sizes. The pole should be made of a corrosive free material with UV protection and able to support four times the weight of the MTCDTIP2 with accessories attached.
