Grounding and protective earth
cnPilot Enterprise AP devices must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the
user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with national regulations. In the USA,
follow Section 810 of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984
(USA). In Canada, follow
Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code
. These codes describe correct installation procedures
for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. Other regulations may apply in
different countries and therefore it is recommended that installation be contracted to a
professional installer.

activities in front of the antenna.
Important Regulatory Information
The cnPilot Enterprise AP product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it
is not allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated
special requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices.
Unlicensed devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
