nearby electronic equipment.

level
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment
should be used no closer to any part of the EEG-1250,
including cables, than the recommended separation
distance calculated from the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance

Conducted RF 3 Vrms 3 Vrms d = 1.2 P

IEC 61000-4-6 150 kHz to 80 MHz

Radiated RF 3 V/m 3 V/m d = 1.2 P 80 MHz to 800 MHz

IEC 61000-4-3 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 2.3 P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz

where P is the maximum output power rating of the

transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer and d is the recommended separation
distance in meters (m).

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as

determined by an electromagnetic site survey*1, should
be less than the compliance level in each frequency
range*2.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment

marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
*1 Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the EEG-1250 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the EEG-1250 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the EEG-1250.
*2 Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than for all other functions.

Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Impedance Respiration)

Impedance respiration measurement is very sensitive and affected by electromagnetic interference. Technological
limitations do not allow immunity levels higher than 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields.
Electromagnetic fields with conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause measurement error. Do not use electrically
radiating equipment near the impedance respiration measurements.

The JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1250 must
be used only in a shielded location with a minimum RF
shielding effectiveness and, for each cable that enters
the shielded location, a minimum RF filter attenuation
Radiated RF 3 V/m 0.3 V/m of 31 dB over the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz.
IEC 61000-4-3 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz Refer to the note below this table.

Field strengths outside the shielded location from fixed

RF transmitters, as determined by an electro-magnetic
site survey*, should be less than 3 V/m. Refer to the
note below this table.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment

marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
NOTE 2: It is essential that the actual shielding effectiveness and filter attenuation of the shielded location be verified to
assure that they meet the minimum specification.
* Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength outside the shielded location in which the JE-921A that is connected to
the EEG-1250 is used exceeds 3 V/m, observe the JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1250 to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as relocating the JE-921A
that is connected to the EEG-1250 or using the shielded location with a higher RF shielding effectiveness and filter
attenuation.

NOTE
The JE-921A that is connected to the EEG-1250 should be used in a shielded location with an RF filter
attenuation of 31 dB over the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz. If the JE-921A that is connected to the
EEG‑1250 is used outside shielded location, use it in a location where the measured field strength is less than
0.3 V/m. To measure shielding effectiveness, consult a service engineer.

Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment
The EEG-1250 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the EEG-1250 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the EEG-1250 as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications.

Rated maximum output Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m)

power of transmitter 150 kHz to 80 MHz 80 MHz to 800 MHz 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz

1 1.2 1.2 2.3
10 3.8 3.8 7.3
100 12 12 23
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m)
can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power
rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
