The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Warning: The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the
power injector outside with the wireless bridge unit.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) BNC Connector
The RSSI connector provides an output voltage that is proportional to the received
radio signal strength. A DC voltmeter can be connected the this port to assist in
aligning the antennas at both ends of a wireless bridge link.
Grounding Point
Even though the wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection, it is
important that the unit is properly connected to ground. A grounding screw is
provided for attaching a ground wire to the unit.
Wall- and Pole-Mounting Bracket Kits
The wireless bridge includes bracket kits that can be used to mount the bridge to a
wall, pole, radio mast, or part of a tower structure.
