Installing the Base Station
This chapter describes how to install the base station, including mounting the device, connecting power, and
connecting the device to the network.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death or serious injury. When the base station is installed in an outdoor
location, all indoor components (e.g. Ethernet and power supply) should be connected through a
lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that may strike the
base station or its outdoor cables. Therefore, install the lightning protector 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.
WARNING!
Safety hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Installing the
RUGGEDCOM WIN7235 can pose a serious safety hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the
following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
• Injuries from dropping tools
• Contact with AC wiring (power system connection)
