Linear: The output signal to the transducer is weighted to give a linear acoustical output on the actual coupler according to the standard. Equ. FF: The output signal to the transducer is weighted to give a sound pressure level which is equivalent to a linear free field signal. Not Linear: The output signal to the transducer is not weighted, it is electrically linear. ¹ This value originates from pure tone 1kHz RETSPL value. (Not linear describes that there is no equalizing of the signal, the electrical response is flat)

FF: The output signal to the transducer is weighted to give a sound pressure level which is equivalent to a linear free field signal. Not Linear: The output signal to the transducer is not weighted, it is electrically linear. ¹ This value originates from pure tone 1kHz RETSPL value.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the Affinity. Install and operate the Affinity according to the EMC information presented in this chapter. The Affinity has been tested for EMC emissions and immunity as a standalone instrument. Do not use the Affinity adjacent to or stacked with other electronic equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the user should verify normal operation in the configuration. The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of servicing parts sold by Interacoustics as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased EMISSIONS or decreased IMMUNITY of the device. Anyone connecting additional equipment is responsible for making sure the system complies with the IEC 60601-1-2 standard. Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration - electromagnetic emissions The Affinity is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Affinity should assure that it is used in such an environment. Emissions Test Compliance Electromagnetic environment - guidance RF emissions Group 1 The Affinity uses RF energy only for its internal function. CISPR 11 Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment. RF emissions Class B Limits The Affinity is suitable for use in all commercial, industrial, business, and residential CISPR 11 environments. Harmonic emissions Complies IEC 61000-3-2 Class A Category Voltage fluctuations / Complies flicker emissions IEC 61000-3-3 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Affinity. The Affinity is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Affinity can help prevent electromagnetic interferences by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Affinity as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. Rated Maximum output power of Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter transmitter [m] [W] 150 kHz to 80 MHz 80 MHz to 800 MHz 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 1.17

Note 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHZ, the higher frequency range applies. Note 2 These guidelines may not apply to all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
