SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CANADA
Certain requirements exist for data communication products manufactured for use in Canada.
Principle among these requirements is the application of the IC label as described below.
However, certain data communication products do not require the IC label nor adherence to
IC requirements. If this is the case the IC label will not be affixed to the units.
INDUSTRY CANADA (IC) REQUIREMENTS
IC labels are affixed to each unit sold in Canada. This label has the certification number for
that particular unit. The numbers are different for each model.
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety
requirements. IC does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring asso-
ciated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equip-
ment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment. For their own protection users should ensure
that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be partic-
ularly important in rural areas.
Users should not attempt to make installation connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.
LOAD NUMBER
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total
load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading.
The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
CANADIAN EMISSION REQUIREMENTS
