Installing the Device
2.5 Connecting the Antennas
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and
power supply ratings specified by the rack manufacturer.
• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection.
Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips).
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:

Connecting the Antennas
The RUGGEDCOM RX1400 can be connected to external antennas for access to
wireless networks. For increased signal coverage and improved performance,
antennas are intended to be installed in a remote location separate from the
RUGGEDCOM RX1400.
Note
The antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the National Electric Code
(NEC). Specifically, the grounding conductor must not be less than 10 AWG (Cu). The
scheme should be either:
• In accordance with UL 96 and 96A Lightning Protection Components and
Installation Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)
• Tested in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497
Note
For technical specifications, refer to
