Please examine your WVRC-8 carefully for any damage that may have been sus-
tained during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and

Surge Protection
The WVRC-8 has built-in resistance to voltage changes, we recommend that you
use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC line. Lightning
strikes and other high surges in voltage levels will damage your WVRC-8 and con-
nected equipment if it is not properly protected. For lightning protection devices,
check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your WVRC-8 to a UPS system. While all operat-
ing and user parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM, brownout conditions
and lightning induced spikes can disable or damage equipment. A UPS helps mini-
mize the risk to the WVRC-8 and has the added benefit that it will then be able to
notify you of the power outage by email, phone or pager depending on your system
configuration.
CAUTION!
Installation of the
WVRC-8 in high RF
environments should be
performed with care.
Shielded cable is sug-
gested for all monitor-
ing and control connec-
tions with all shields
tied to the station
ground terminal. The
station ground should
be connected to any
available rear panel
ground terminal or
chassis ground screw
using an 18 or 20-gauge
wire.
