Access and Control
The Roambee Sensor Bee works in conjunction with the Roambee Portal. The location and sensor information from the Bee will be transmitted to the Roambee Portal through the cellular modem. The Roambee portal has multiple features that enable the management of the sensor bee. Users in the portal have the ability to locate a bee and change the configuration of the bee.
Configuration
The Sensor Bee has two basic modes: Transmitting and Sleeping. Transmitting occurs during fixed reporting intervals which can be configured within the portal. The transmission time can vary from between 10 minutes and 24 hours. When the Sensor bee is not transmitting it is still monitoring the sensors and recording the sensor data.
Safety
The Roambee Sensor Bee is a radio transmitting device. Always adhere to local laws and regulations. Switch off the Roambee Sensor Bee in places where the use of cellular phones is not permitted or where it can create interference, for example near medical equipment that can be affected by radio interference and at blasting sites.
Federal Communication Commission Statement
This device is used for cargo tracking purposes only and is not to be used on or near animals and humans as a portable device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
-
this device may not cause harmful interference, and
-
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Please
note that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure Statement -
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, this equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm (7.8 inches) between the antenna and your body during normal operation. Users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
ISED Non-Interference Disclaimer
This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
RSS Gen Transmit Antenna Statement
This radio transmitter 28141-BEENG500 & 10224A-2019BG95M3 has been approved by
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the
antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use
with this device.
Under Innovation, Science, and Economic Development regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
