SkyZhone 1624, 1424, 1224 Hardware Installation Guide
This unit is powered by high voltage over the SHDSL lines.
Electrical shock and personal injury can occur by touching the
leads with the power on. Verify that the SHDSL lines are
deenergized before installing or removing the equipment. Always
turn the power off at the DSLAM before installing or removing
this equipment.
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.
Caution:
•
The unit is sealed at the factory and must not be opened in the field.
The unit shall be returned to the factory for repairs.
•
Serious injury can occur if the antennas come in contact with
electric power lines. Carefully follow the instructions in this
manual. During and after installation, the antennas must be a
minimum of 24 inches from any power lines. Use caution when
installing this outdoor equipment.
•
FCC RF Exposure Requirements (per OET-65) requires the
SkyZhone platform to be mounted such that the general public does
not come within 10 inches of the antennae.
•
The PoE (Power over Ethernet) connector sources power to other
devices. Some devices may not be compatible with this feature. In
that case, do not connect the wires that supply the power. The
power is 48 volts DC, at a maximum of 5 watts.
Note:
•
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class C digital device, pursuant to part 15, subpart C, of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the user manual, may increase the
potential for harmful interference to radio communications.
