Installing the Subscriber Unit
This chapter describes how to install the subscriber unit, including mounting the subscriber unit, connecting
power, connecting the antenna, and connecting the subscriber unit to the network.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing
any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the subscriber unit has been disconnected and wait
approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death or serious injury. When the subscriber unit is installed in an
outdoor location, all indoor components (e.g. Ethernet and power supply) should be connected
through a lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that may strike
the subscriber unit or its outdoor cables. Therefore, install the lightning protector 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 lead indoors are well protected from lightning between
the protector and the building entrance.
WARNING!
Safety hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Installing the
RUGGEDCOM WIN5251 can pose a serious safety hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the
following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
• Injuries from dropping tools
• Contact with AC wiring (power system connection)
IMPORTANT!
Only certified personnel should be permitted to install equipment.
