and utilise natural resources prudently and rationally. Sustainable development advocates the
reduction of wasteful consumption of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is a regulated area. Where the generation of waste
cannot be avoided, it should be reused or recovered for its material or energy. WEEE products
may be recognized by their wheeled bin label ( ). See www.nova-
tel.com/products/compliance/environmental-compliance/ for more information.
RoHS
The OEM7 GNSS receivers are in conformity with Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parlia-
ment and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous sub-
stances in electrical and electronic equipment.
REACH
The OEM7 receivers are in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). The Candidate List of Substances of Very
High Concern (SVHC) published by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) is available at
https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table. Please contact NovAtel Customer Support if you
require further information.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits only and are suitable for
connection within a building only. Do not connect them to Telephone Network Voltage
(TNV) circuits.
Lightning Protection Installation and Grounding Procedure
What is the hazard?
A lightning strike into the ground causes an increase in the earth's potential which results in a
high voltage potential between the center conductor and shield of the coaxial cable. This high
voltage develops because the voltage surge induced onto the center conductor lags in time
behind the voltage surge induced onto the shield.
Hazard Impact
A lightning strike causes the ground potential in the area to rise to dangerous levels resulting in
harm to personnel or destruction of electronic equipment in an unprotected environment. It also
conducts a portion of the strike energy down the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to the con-
nected equipment.
Only qualified personnel, such as electricians mandated by the governing body in the
country of installation, may install lightning protection devices.
