1. About This Guide
This user guide provides essential product functionality with all the information necessary to
professionally install and configure the RuggedMAX™ WiN7200 Small Form Factor Base Station.
This guide is intended for experienced technicians and operators. It is assumed that the customers
installing, operating and maintaining this product are familiar with WiMAX technologies and
procedures.
While some safety precautions are reviewed here, this manual assumes that installers have been
trained in safe installation practises. Users who are new to WiMAX technologies and service
procedures should not rely on this manual for comprehensive guidance.
1.1. Safety Information
1.1.1. General
• Read this User Manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.
• The base station and antenna must be installed by a professional installer.
• The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed the
described limits.
1.1.2. Equipment Installation
The equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/
NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1, CSA C22.1; and when applicable, the
National Electrical Safety Code IEEE C2. Unless marked or otherwise identified, the Standard for
the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75, also applies.
1.1.3. Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
The WiN7200 Small Form Factor Base Station is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR
47 section 1.1307, addressing Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from radio frequency devices as
defined in OET Bulletin 65.
For WiN7249/WiN7258, keep distance of more than 38 cm from humans.
All other models should be positioned more than 20cm from humans.
1.1.4. Lightning Protection
When the WiN7200 Small Form Factor Base Station unit is installed in an outdoor
location, all indoor components (Ethernet, power supply) should be connected through
a lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that might strike
the WiN7200 Small Form Factor Base Station unit or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning
protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables
enter the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as the cables
that go from it indoors are well protected from lightning between the box and the building entrance.
