General Installation Safety Requirements
Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.
Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that all warning labels are kept in a
legible condition. Replace any missing or damaged labels.
Make sure the unit's settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product
information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare
parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.
Due to power dissipation, the CAP MX may reach a very high temperature. Do not operate this equipment
on or close to flammable materials. Use caution when servicing the CAP MX.
Only authorized and trained personnel are allowed to open the unit and get access to the inside.
Only suitably qualified personnel are allowed to work on this unit and only after becoming familiar with
all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this installation
guide.
Although the unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to ground
(earth) the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the unit for protection against atmospheric
discharge. In areas with strong lightning, it is strongly recommended to install additional lightning
protection.
Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically
powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet
location or during a lightning storm.
This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 8-inch (20 cm)
clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before
servicing the antenna.
Do not remove caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so.
