Install the Prism Remote Unit
NOTE: All electrical work must comply with local codes and requirements. A locally licensed
electrical contractor is best qualified to perform this work. For additional information, consult
with the CommScope Technical Support for Wireless Products team (see "DCCSGlobal
TechnicalSupport”onpage119).

NOTE: The power cable is rated for indoor or outdoor use and
must not be placed within electrical conduit as this will
impede the cooling of the cable during usage. The cable run
distance to the AC power source must not exceed 100 feet.
4 InstallanyACpowersupplywiresthatmayberequiredbetween
theACjunctionboxandtheACcircuitbreakerbox.
NOTE: It is recommended that an AC outlet be installed near the PRU for powering tools and test
equipment. This outlet must include a GFCI device for protection.
NOTE: An appropriate disconnect device, as well as branch circuit protection, must be provided as
part of the installation.
