SafetyPractices
PreventingOverexposuretoRFEnergy
ToprotectagainstoverexposuretoRFenergy,installtheODUssoastoprovideandmaintain
minimalseparationdistancesfromallpersons.
Whenthesystemisoperational,avoidstandingdirectlyinfrontoftheantenna.StrongRF
fieldsarepresentwhenthetransmitterison.TheODUmustnotbedeployedinalocation
whereitispossibleforpeopletostandorwalkinadvertentlyinfrontoftheantenna.
Grounding
AllRADWINproductsshouldbegroundedduringoperation.Inaddition:
• AllODUsshouldbeearthedbyawirewithdiameterofatleast10AWG.
RADWIN2000ODUsmustbeproperlygroundedtoprotectagainstlightning.Itisthe
user'sresponsibilitytoinstalltheequipmentinaccordancewithSection810ofthe


unit,mast,lead‐inwireanddischargeunit.Italsolaysdownthesizeofgrounding
conductorsandconnectionrequirementsforgroundingelectrodes.RADWIN2000
ODUsmustbegroundedtoaProtectiveEarthinaccordancewiththeLocalElectrical
Regulations.
