FCC Regulations

15.203 Antenna requirement
An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221*. Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with 15.31(d) , must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded.

*FCC Provisions 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, and 15.221 do not pertain to the use of wireless antennas for our products.

CE Regulations

In Europe, installation and usage of antennas are subject to European regulations as set in the 1999/05/CE (R&TTE) directive. Any combination of radio equipment and antenna must be assessed together to insure conformity to the CE regulation. For addional information refer to http://europa.eu.int for the conformity requirements or contact your local spectrum authority http://europa.eu.int, for further details on national restrictions.
