Getting Started
We strongly recommend that you setup the EZ

unit in your
office room to get acquainted with the operation of the units be-
fore installing outdoors.
CAUTION:
Applying a voltage higher than 24V will damage the unit and
void the warranty. Do not plug the antenna directly into a standard PoE
Switch because 99.9% of PoE switches are 48V.
CAUTION:
Do not plug/unplug the CAT5/6 cable to the antenna with
power applied (hot swapping) as this could damage the unit. Always
plug cable first and then apply power to the PoE inserter. Always
disconnect power from the PoE inserter before disconnecting cables.
DANGER! Avoid Powerlines!
You Can Be Killed!
When following the instructions in this guide to install the antenna take
extreme care to avoid contact with overhead power lines, lights and
power circuits. Contact with power lines, lights or power circuits may be
fatal. We recommend to install antenna no closer than 20 feet to any
power lines.
Safety:
For your own protection, follow these safety rules.
▫
Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
▫
Do not attempt to install the antenna on a rainy, windy or
snowy day or if there is ice or snow accumulation at the install
site or if the site is wet.
▫
Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you are
working on a roof or ladder.
▫
Watch out for any power lines which may be overhead, under-
ground or behind walls, keeping safely clear of them with the
antenna, ladders or any tools.
▫
See appendix for FCC RF exposure guidelines
Recommended Tools:
Pliers, Screws and screwdriver if
mounting to a wall.
NOTE:
You should be familiar with using
tools such as these before attempting installation of the antenna.
You should be comfortable with working on a ladder.
Note:
We highly recommend connecting the EZ

power supply to
a surge protected outlet or an Uninterruptable Power Supply system.
We also recommend using shielded and grounded CAT5/6 cable be-
tween the antenna and the PoE Inserter. This will help prevent dam-
age from lightning and electrical surges caused by lightning.
