5.1.3. Recommended Separation Distance

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF commu-
nications equipment and the AtriCure RF, Cryo, and EP Mapping System
The AtriCure RF, Cryo, and EP Mapping System (ARC-EPMS) is intended for use in an electromagnetic
environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the ARC-EPMS
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the ARC-EPMS as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation dis-
tance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter,
where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
