Safety and Regulatory
United States of America
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases
of operation and service of the products covered in this manual. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this
manual can void the warranty.
Do not stand directly in front of an energized antenna.
Do not install or operate the equipment in the presence of or close to
flammable fumes or gases. Operating any electrical instrument in such
an environment is a safety hazard.
BridgeWave radios meet all applicable U.S.A. FCC safety requirements
for general population exposure to radio frequency emissions; however,
it is best to avoid prolonged, unnecessary exposure to the waveguide
opening while it is operating.
Please refer to Articles 810 and 830 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for installations in the U.S.A. for information
regarding proper grounding and applicable lightning protection for DC
cables.
Outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a
short circuit, grounding reduces (but does not eliminate) the risk of
electrical shock.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved (in writing) by
BridgeWave’s Engineering and/or Product Management personnel can
void the warranty. For installations in all other countries, implement
protection in accordance with the safety standards and regulatory
requirements of the country where the equipment is to be installed.
Protection from Lightning
Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies
that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or
near the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable
