2.6.13 Precautions
Note: Detached antennas, whether installed indoors or out, should be installed ONLY by experienced
antenna installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and,
wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities.
Failure to do so may void the BreezeNET Product Warranty and may expose the end user to
legal and financial liabilities. BreezeCOM and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
injury, damage or violation of government regulations associated with the installation of
detached antennas.
Transmit Antenna
Regulations regarding maximum antenna gains vary from country to country. It is the responsibility
of the end user to operate within the limits of these regulations and to ensure that the professional
installer is aware of these regulations, as well.
Violation of government regulations exposes the end user to legal and financial liabilities.
BreezeCOM, its resellers and distributors shall not be liable for expense or damage incurred as a
result of installations which exceed local transmit gain limitations.
2.6.14 Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment by providing a path to
ground for the lightning’s energy. The lightning arrestor diverts the strike energy to ground through
a deliberate and controlled path instead of allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning protection
for a building is more forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building can withstand up to
100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by just a few volts.
The Outdoor unit contains an internal lightning protection unit, and should be installed and grounded
at the point where the cable enters the building.
2.6.15 Rain Proofing
18 and 24 dBi antennas must be sealed against rain at the point the cable enters the pole before they
are suitable for external use.
2.7 Installing the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit can be secured to the pole using one of the following options:
•1 Special brackets (supplied with each unit)
•2 U-bolts - size A (inner installation holes, up to 2" pole)
•3 U-bolt - size B (outside installation holes, up to 3" pole)
