1. The HF Series X ray Generator is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled The customer or the user of the HF Series X ray Generator can help pre vent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment transmitters and the HF Series X ray Generator as recommended below according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment Rated maximum output Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter power of transmitter m K 150 kHz to 80 MHz 80 MHz to 800 MHz 800 MHz to 2 5 GHz d 1 2VP d 1 2VP d 2 3VP 0 01 0 12 0 12 0 23 0 1 0 38 0 38 0 73 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 dis tance d in metres 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 ZZE SHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH HEHEHE ZZ ZZ ZZ ZZ
