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.
