Electromagnetic Compatibility

Electromagnetic Compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is defined as the ability of a product, a device, or a system
to function satisfactorily in the presence of the electromagnetic phenomena that exists in the
location of the product, the device, or the system being used; and, in addition, to not introduce
intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that same environment.
Electromagnetic immunity is the ability of a product, a device, or a system to function
satisfactorily in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Electromagnetic emissions is the ability of a product, a device, or a system to introduce
intolerable electromagnetic disturbances into the use environment.
Your system has been manufactured in compliance with existing electromagnetic compatibility
requirements. Use of this system in the presence of an electromagnetic field can cause
momentary degradation of the tracking ability. If this occurs often, review the environment in
which the system is being used to identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These
emissions could be from other electrical devices used within the same room or an adjacent
room, or from portable and mobile RF communications equipment such as cellular phones and
pagers, or from the existence of radio, TV, or microwave transmission equipment located
nearby. In cases where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is causing disturbances, it may be
necessary to relocate your system.
The system complies with International Standard CISPR 11 for radiated and conducted
electromagnetic disturbances. Compliance with this standard allows the system to be used in all
establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public
low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
WARNING
Using cables, transducers, or accessories other than those specified for use with the system
may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system.
CAUTION
Medical equipment has special precautions regarding EMC and must be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in the system's accompanying documents.
