Powerline
Warning:
Avaya warns that failure to comply with power and safety instructions could cause harm to
persons and equipment.
Ensure that the following precautions are implemented:
Warning:
Coming in contact with power lines can be lethal.
Ensure that there are no accessible power lines near the installation site to avoid
accidental or incidental human contact with these lines.
Ensure that antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables cannot come into contact
with these powerlines. T
ry to plan for potential leaning or falling of this equipment into
these lines.
You may get injured or killed if you are touching or holding any part of equipment when
it contacts electric power lines.
Ensure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly
or indirectly with power lines.
If anything, such as a wire or mast, does come in contact with a powerline, DO NOT
TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Call the power company.
Do not attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
Installation
Before installing the WLAN AP 8120-O on the mast ensure the following conditions are met
for the mast:
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line must be
at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This ensures that the mast
does not contact the power line if it falls either during installation or later.
Make sure that all towers and masts are securely grounded. Securely grounded
equipment helps to prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-
up, or short circuit.
Lightning surge protection
The Avaya-provided series indoor Ethernet surge arrester (lightning protector) provides high-
level protection for the Ethernet and/or Power over Ethernet (POE) equipment located inside
