14. equipment as a by product of its internal functions This radiated noise if allowed to propagate much beyond the enclosure of the unit can possibly disturb other sensitive equipment As a consequence many governments require RFI noise to be controlled and some countries require ac tual testing and approvals for such products By the way this radiaton is similar to that produced by your home radio sets and other appliances Q How do we insure that our terminals comply with RFI requirements A Amodification which consists of a cable and silver paint inside shields the top and bottom assemblies and brings them into compliance with the RFI requirements which prevail in Europe In the United States and Canada we are still in the formulation stage of RFI standards for this reason our terminals are not yet subject to mandatory requirements in these two countries Q Where do we have EMI approval in other words where do we comply with these regulations A We have approvals in Germany and in Switzerland where it is part of VDE and SEV standards In both countries we were successfully tested to an interna tional standard This means that in all other European countries and Asia we should not have any EMI prob lems However we need and welcome any information on situations which may still exist in the areas of safety and EMI COMPANY PRIVATE na ai yc i iii ieri mi O Si si a a eee Peat tan nan Sa ei se ia chem pp att
