Power
The radio requires a 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE power source within specifications.
Terminating the RF Connectors (rc models)
Before applying power, the RF connectors must be properly terminated into a 50-Ohm load. If this is
not performed, the radio may be damaged by simply applying power. Also, there are human safety
factors to consider regarding potentially harmful RF radiation.
The following lists a few simple ways to achieve proper termination:
• Connect a 50-Ohm coaxial termination device to the RF port of the radio. The termination must be
rated to 1W (or more). Example(s) include:
– Broadwave Technologies P/N 552-200-002, or similar
• Connect the complete transmission system. That is, the RF cabling including the antenna. The
cabled antenna provides a proper termination for the RF output.
• Connect a fixed (or a series of fixed) 50-Ohm attenuator(s) to the RF connector, either directly or
at the end of an RF transmission line. The attenuator must be at least 30dB as specified at the
operating frequency and rated for a minimum of 1W input power. Examples include:
– Broadwave Technologies P/N 352-103-xxx
– Bird 2-A-MFN-xx
– JFW Industries 50FP-xxx-H6-N
Cover any unused connector with the connector cap and apply the weather-seal tape. Both cap and tape
are included in the accessory kit.
Ethernet Lightning/Surge Protection
To provide for human safety and for the safety of connected network equipment, it is highly
recommended to place a weatherproof lightning suppression device at the egress point where the
CAT5e or CAT6 cable(s) enter the building, shelter, or cabinet.
