WARNING!
The authority to operate this equipment is conditioned by the requirement
that no modifications will be made to the equipment unless the
manufacturer expressly approves the changes or modifications.
The SkyZhone Model 1x04 products are AC power device conforming to
UL 60950-1 standards. The AC Power cable must wired to an AC source
by a licensed electrician familiar with the NEC, CEC and all applicable
local codes.
Proper Safety Grounding is required to insure proper operation and
protection from lightning strikes and surges. A copper ground lug is
provided on the unit for this purpose. Connect a length of #10 AWG solid,
bare, copper wire to the grounding lug and firmly tighten the grounding
screw (see Figure 20). Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a
grounded surface or another earth ground such as a metal rod. This ground
must be install before applying power to the unit.
SkyZhone provides both Primary and Secondary lightning and surge
protection to the SHDSL and PoE cable signals. The special POE + Console
cable has both protected signals (POE) and unprotected signals (Console).
This special cable is intended for unit configuration prior to installation. It
is not intended for outdoor use. Use the standard POE cable for outdoor
installations
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
require the use of an agency listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector
for all power and data communications cables entering a building. This is to
protect the building and occupants from damage caused by transient
voltage and current surges.
A UL 497 (CSA C22.2 No. 226-92) approved primary protection device
must be used at the building entrance if the Ethernet port is used to provide
in-building access to the SkyZhone network. Also check with local wiring
codes.
