Avaya Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide

!

DANGER:

The Avaya Wireless Outdoor Router outdoor antennas are intended for 
mounting on a roof, or the side of a building. Installation shall not be 
attempted by someone who is not trained or experienced in this type of 
work.The antenna has to be installed by a suitably trained professional 
installation technician or a qualified antenna installation service. The site 
pre-requisites have to be checked by a person familiar with the national 
electrical code, and other regulations governing this type of installation.

Outdoor antennas and antenna cables are electrical conductors. 
Transients or electrostatic discharges that may occur at the antenna (for 
example a lightning strike during thunderstorms) may damage your 
electronic equipment and cause personal injury or death to persons 
touching the exposed metal connectors of the antenna cable.
When installing, disconnecting or replacing one of the cabling 
components, you must ensure at all times that each exposed metal 
connectors of the antenna cabling system will be grounded locally 
during the work.
Do not install this antenna where there is any possibility of contact with 
high-voltage arc-over from power cables or service drops to buildings. 
The antenna, supporting mast and/or tower must not be close to any 
power lines during installation, removal or in the event of part of the 
system should accidentally fail. Apply a “Danger” label to a plainly 
visible area of the antenna support structure.

1.

Do not climb rooftops in wet or windy conditions, during a 
thunderstorm or when the area where the equipment will be 
installed is covered with ice or snow.

2.

Do not touch antennas, surge arresters and/or antenna cables 
during a thunderstorm.

3.

The location where you will install the antenna(s) must be at a safe 
distance from power lines or telephone lines. The safe distance 
should be at least twice the height of the antenna mast plus the 
height of the antenna.

4.

Antennas shall be mounted in such a manner to minimize the 
potential for human contact during normal operation. In order to 
avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency 
exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less 
than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
