IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION 

 

For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating 
this system and keep this sheet and any additional instructions for future reference. 

INSTALLATION & USE 

OBSERVE WARNINGS:  All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully 
followed.  Do  not  make  any  modifications  to  the  Wireless  Ethernet  Module  (WEM), 
Power Injection Module (PIM), or any other KBC electronic device, as the unit(s) will 
no longer comply with FCC regulations and therefore void its warranty. 

WATER  AND  MOISTURE:    The  WEM  is  weatherproof  provided  it  is  installed  in 
accordance to the mounting details listed on page 7.  However, further protection or 
housing  is  suggested  for  harsh  environments,  as  moisture  damage  voids  its 
warranty.  The  PIMs  used  in  this  system  are  NOT  weatherproof.    None  of  the 
modules  in  this  system  are  waterproof  and  should  never  be  submerged.    Severe 
electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the equipment may result. 

POWER  SOURCE:    Connect  the  equipment  to  a  power  source  only  of  the  type 
described  on  the  operating  instructions  or  as  marked  on  the  equipment.  Excessive 
or  insufficient  amperage  or  voltage  can  cause  extended  trouble-shooting  or  even 
damage  that  could  negate  its  warranty.  The  power  supplies’  cable  should  not  be 
modified/extended due to the ability to use up to 100 meters of power over Ethernet 
cable. In addition, Ethernet cable running from the PIM to the WEM should be kept 
separated from high-voltage cables and/or transformers. 

ATTACHMENTS:  Use only KBC  supplied or recommended Power  Injection Modules, 
Power Supplies, Cat5 Cables and weather seals and plugs. 

WHEN NOT IN USE:  Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused 
for long periods of time or during lightning storms. 

REPLACEMENT PARTS:  When replacement parts are required, use only replacement 
parts  specified  by  KBC.  Unauthorized  substitutions  may  result  in  damage  to  the 
system and could void the warranty.
