Installing the WaveAC C ESS NET System 2-11
Installing the Antenna
The WaveACCESS NET antenna is always placed
outdoors. The CU132 is installed indoors and
connected to the outdoor antenna using the supplied
cable.
Note: Installing a WaveACCESS NET unit outdoors will void
its warranty.
Before you install the unit, you must choose a good
location for your antenna to ensure a line of sight to the
other WaveACCESS NET SDR132 and WaveACCESS
NET MDR132 remote stations. You must also ensure the
shortest possible distance between the CU132 and the
antenna, in order to minimize cable-loss.
WARNING: The WaveACCESS NET CU132 antenna should
be installed ONLY by experienced antenna installers familiar
with local building and safety codes and, wherever
necessary, licensed by appropriate government regulatory
bodies. Failure to do so may void the Product Warranty as
well as expose the end user to legal and financial liabilities.
Lucent Technologies, its agents, resellers, or distributors, are
not liable for injury, damage or violation of government
regulations associated with the installation of the antenna.
The installer is also responsible for ensuring that the public is
not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the
FCC guidelines. Those guidelines imply that no human may
conceivably be found within one foot of the front of the
antenna. If such a situation is likely to occur, the installer is
responsible for placing the appropriate caution signs to warn
the public. Lucent Technologies, its agents, resellers, or
distributors, are not liable for exposure to excessive RF
energy levels due to improper antenna installation.
The Maximum Permissible Exposure guidelines are 1 foot (30
cm) for the WaveACCESS NET unit, as based on the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
If the antenna is in an accessible area, an appropriate
warning sign must be installed in the appropriate place.
