3.1 For Your Safety
WARNING: Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
WARNING: Use extreme care when working at heights.
WARNING: The Outdoor Unit (ODU) for the PTP 600 Series Bridge must be properly
grounded to protect against lightning. In the USA and Canada it is the user’s responsibility to
install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes
describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding
electrodes. Other regulations may apply in different countries and therefore it is
recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.
WARNING: The ODU for the PTP 600 Series Bridge must be grounded to a Protective Earth
in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.
WARNING: It is recommended that the supplied Power Indoor Plus (PIDU Plus) – PTP 600
Series is used to power the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODU. The use of other power sources
may invalidate safety approval and affect your warranty.
WARNING: A cable measuring card must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to
power from the PIDU. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with a multimeter. This
is because the PIDU voltage exceeds the limit allowed in some countries for safe handling in
wet conditions and therefore may create a safety hazard.
WARNING: When using alternative DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as
described in Section 3.3.3 “Redundancy and Alternative Powering Configurations”), such as
battery-b
acked DC power source, the supply MUST comply with the following requirements:
The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PIDU Plus
The power source is rated as SELV
The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously
The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL6090, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
WARNING: Users and installers should note that the main power supply is the primary
disconnect device.
