3.1.1 Indoor Locations to Avoid
Although the unit is designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors. For
indoor locations Ericsson recommends to operate according to ETSI EN 300
19-1-3 class 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.6. This does not cover installation with heat
traps or installation in lofts, where air ventilation does not exist. To ensure
smooth performance, avoid installing the unit in a potential microclimate
location, for example, places with unventilated lofts, with heat traps, or where
the product is exposed to direct sunlight through windows. Avoid installing the
equipment under glass covers or skylight windows without proper ventilation.
3.1.2 Outdoor Locations to Avoid
Although Ericsson declares this product suitable for outdoor environments,
avoid installing the unit in a potential microclimate location. Typical examples
of microclimate locations are sites where the product is not only exposed to
the actual surrounding temperature, but additional temperature as heat
coming from dark colored planes, for example, reflections from the floor or
walls. The additional temperature can generate heat traps with temperatures
up to 10°C higher than expected.
Avoid installing equipment in the following locations:
•
Near the exhaust of building ventilation systems
•
Near the exhaust of chimneys
•
Opposite large surfaces made of glass or new concrete
If the unit is to be placed in an environment subjected to lightning strike, an
external Surge Protection Device (SPD) is needed.
3.1.3
Other Considerations
Installing the radio close to other electronic equipment can cause
interferences.
For sites with risk of ground fire, the recommended minimum installation
height is 3 m.
3.1.4
Painting Limitations
Ericsson does not recommend painting the radio as it may affect radio
performance of the unit.
Ericsson will apply limitations to the warranty and service contract if the radio
is painted.
