Mounting
Note: During installation, please
be sure that the cables are
secure but do not bear any
additional weight that could
loosen the connector from the
unit.
Your
Raven
XE
should
be
mounted
in
a
position
that
allows
easy
access
for
the
cables
so
they
are
not
bent,
constricted,
in
close
proximity
to
high
amperage,
or
exposed
to
extreme
temperatures.
The
LEDs
on
the
front
panel
should
be
visible
for
ease
of
operational
verification.
You
should
ensure
that
there
is
adequate
airflow
around
the
modem
but
that
it
is
kept
free
from
direct
exposure
to
the
elements,
such
as
sun,
rain,
dust,
etc.
Caution:
The Raven XE is in a hardened case and designed for use
in industrial and extreme environments. However, unless you are
using cables expressly designed for such environments, they can fail
if exposed to the same conditions the Raven XE can withstand.

Note: This device is not
intended for use within close
proximity of the human body.
Antenna installation should
provide for at least a 20 CM
separation from the operator.
Antennas
selected
should
not
exceed
a
maximum
gain
of
5
dBi
under
standard
installation
configuration.
In
more
complex
installations
(such
as
those
requiring
long
lengths
of
cable
and/
or
multiple
connections),
it’s
imperative
that
the
installer
follow
maximum
dBi
gain
guidelines
in
accordance
with
the
radio
communications
regulations
of
the
Federal
Communica
‐
tions
Commission
(FCC),
Industry
Canada
, or
your
country’s
regulatory
body
(if
used
outside
the
US).
