Regulatory Compliance

Electromagnetic compatibility

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of the scanner to function acceptably in the presence of electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges. The scanner must operate without causing electromagnetic disturbances to nearby electronic equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules and ICES-003. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Note:  Interference can result in other equipment if the product is used in conjunction with accessories from other manufacturers, such as field computers, personal computers, two-way radios, non-standard cables or external batteries.

Note:  Although the product meets strict regulations and standards that are in force, the possibility cannot be excluded that the product may be disturbed by very intense electromagnetic radiation, such as nearby radio transmitters, two-way radios or diesel generators. Interference caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous measurements. Check the plausibility of results obtained under these conditions.

Note:  If the product is operated with connecting cables attached at only one of the two ends (e.g. external supply cables or interface cables), the permitted level of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded and the correct functioning of other products may be impaired. When the product is in use, cables must be connected at both ends.

Note:  Use only the equipment and accessories recommended by Maptek. When combined with the product, they meet the strict requirements stipulated by the guidelines and standards. When using computers and two-way radios, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for managing electromagnetic compatibility.

Conformity to national regulations

The following regulatory conformance apply to this scanner:

  • FCC Part 15 (applicable in the US and Industry Canada).

  • This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

  • Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

  • Hereby, Maptek declares that this Maptek scanner complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.

  • Class 2 equipment according to European Directive 2014/53/EU (RandTTE) for which the following EEA Member States apply restrictions on the placing on the market or on the putting into service or require authorization for use:

    • France

    • Italy

    • Norway (if used in the geographical area within a radius of 20km from the centre of Ny-Ålesund)

The conformity for countries with other national regulations not covered by the FCC part 15 or European directive 2014/53/EU has to be approved prior to use and operation.

Waste management

European Community Requirements

As required by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) of the European Community and the corresponding national laws, Maptek offers all end users in the EC the possibility to return end-of-life units without incurring disposal charges.

If you wish to return a Maptek unit for waste recovery, please contact Maptek or your nearest dealer for further information.

Alternative waste management

If you do not return an end-of-life unit to Maptek, you must hand it to a company specialised in waste recovery. Do not dispose of the unit in a litter bin or at a public waste disposal site.
