Hazardous locations
Check that the ODUs will not be exposed to hazardous gases, as defined by HAZLOC (USA) and ATEX
(Europe) regulations. If there is a risk of such exposure, then order the PTP/PMP 450i ATEX/Hazloc
product variants, as these are intended for operation in locations with gas hazards. The ATEX and
HAZLOC standards limit the EIRP as shown in EIRP limits from ATEX and HAZLOC standards.

Drop cable grounding points
To estimate how many grounding kits are required for each drop cable, refer to the site installation
diagrams (Mast or tower installation , Wall installation, and Roof installation) and use the following criteria:
l The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between the
drop cable and the mast, tower or building.
l The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point.
For mast or tower installations (Mast or tower installation), use the following additional criteria:
