Safety Information
Under no circumstances may a user make any changes to the RF500A Gateway that would alter its performance. Any
modication would void the CE compliance of the Gateway and may invalidate the warranty.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by Comark Instruments, then the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
No user serviceable parts are provided in RF500 Comark Wireless Monitoring Equipment. Contact Comark
Instruments or your local distributor for all service requirements.
Warning
• Before connecting or disconnecting the antenna, ensure anti-static precautions are observed.
• Use only the FRIWO 12V AC adaptor; Type FW74010/12 as supplied with the RF500A Gateway.
• Do not modify the RF500A Gateway AC adaptor in any way.
• Use only the PHIHONG, PSM11R-050 5V AC adaptor or FRIWO type FW7662/05 with RF500 transmitters.
It is supplied by Comark Instruments as three variants:
RF520 Transmitter AC adaptor with UK mains plug
RF520/EU Transmitter AC adaptor with European mains plug
RF520/US Transmitter AC adaptor with North American mains plug
RF520/AUS Transmitter AC adaptor with Australian mains plug
• Do not modify the AC adaptor in any way.
• RF500 transmitters contain a C-size lithium cell (AA-size for RF542). This cell must not be incinerated or
subjected to temperatures in excess of 100°C. Do not deform, mutilate, crush, pierce, disassemble, recharge
or short circuit. Such abuse can result in loss of seal, and/or cell explosion. Also exposure to humid conditions
for long periods should be avoided.
• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.

9
• Ensure the antenna is securely connected before powering the equipment. Internal damage may result
otherwise.
• The Gateway and Transmitters have been designed to operate with the antenna supplied by Comark, and
having a maximum gain of 7dBi. Antennas not supplied by Comark Instruments or having a gain of greater
than 7dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
WEEE
RF512, RF513, RF515, RF516 and RF542 transmitters contain a non rechargeable lithium
battery. This battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
