Installation Guide Rev 1.1
1.3.3. Equipment Installation
Install the equipment in accordance with the electrical code relevant to the country of installation,
such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70; the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),
Part 1, CSA C22.1; and when applicable, the National Electrical Safety Code IEEE C2. Unless
marked or otherwise identified, the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75, also applies.
1.3.4. Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
The WiN7000 High Power Base Station is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR 47,
section 1.1307, addressing Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from radio frequency devices as
defined in OET Bulletin 65. The emitted radiation should be as little as possible. To achieve
minimum RF exposure, install the WiN7000 when it is configured not to
transmit and set it to
operational mode remotely, rather than enabling transmission by the installer
on-site. For maintenance
of the WiN7000
,
or other operations which
require RF exposure, the exposure should be minimized
in time and according to the regulations
set by the FCC or the regulations relevant to the country of
installation.
Install antenna always at distance at least 3.6 m from the people and public area.
1.3.5. Lightning Protection
When the WiN7000 High Power Base Station is installed in an outdoor location, all
indoor components (such as Ethernet and power supply) should be connected through
a lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that
might strike the WiN7000 High Power Base Station or its outdoor cables. Therefore,
install the lightning protector device indoors, as close as possible to the point where
the cables enter the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors
as long as the cables that lead indoors are well protected from lightning between the
protector and the building entrance.
1.3.6. Power Cord Protection
Route all power supply cords so that people cannot walk on them or place objects on or against
them. Walking on the cords or placing objects on or against the cords can damage the cords.
