are not sure about whether the installation follows these codes, contact a licensed
building inspector or electrician in the area for assistance.
Always use quality components—including cables, connectors, mounts, etc.—
specifically rated for your particular environmental conditions and system perfor
-
mance requirements.
Always use appropriate tools, and follow the instructions of the tool
manufacturers.
All outdoor installation, including equipment mounting and cabling, should be per-
formed by trained microwave radio technicians familiar with usual and customary
practices and procedures.
Take extreme care to avoid contacting any overhead power lines, lights, and
power circuits while you are installing the Outdoor Unit. Contact with any of these
objects could cause injury or death. Do not install the Outdoor Unit near power
lines.
Make sure that the outdoor radio/antenna is grounded in accordance with local,
state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Pay special
attention to NEC sections 810 and 820. See the instructions in Chapter 4 of this
manual.
For the PacketMax 100 Series Indoor Unit, use an outlet that contains surge pro-
tection and ground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will
protect the Indoor Unit and equipment connected to it from damage resulting from
AC current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the
Indoor Unit (i.e., from radio/antenna and PC/hub) should be connected to a surge
protection device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors designed for
the specific application.
RF Exposure Guidelines
In order to comply with FCC and Industry Canada requirements for maximum RF
exposure levels to persons, the antenna must be mounted in such a way that dur
-
ing operation, a minimum separation distance of 21 cm is maintained between the
antenna and all persons.
Prohibition against Unauthorized Modifications
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Aperto Networks could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Units sold in the United States can only be used in the FCC specified band of
5.725 to 5.850 GHz.
