3. Safety Pracces and Provisions
3.1 Scope of this Chapter
This chapter describes various safety pracces.
3.1.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the radio units so as to provide and maintain minimal
separaon distances from all persons.
When the system is operaonal, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF elds are present
when the transmier is on. The radio unit must not be deployed in a locaon where it is possible for people
to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.
3.1.2 Grounding
All RADWIN products should be grounded during operaon. In addion:
• All ODUs should be grounded by a wire with diameter of at least 14 AWG.
• The ground lug on an IDU‐H should be connected to the protecve earth at all mes, by a wire with a
diameter of 18 AWG or wider.
• Rack‐mounted equipment should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets.
Further, you should ‐
• Always make the ground connecon rst and disconnect it last
• Never connect telecommunicaon cables to ungrounded equipment
• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecng the ground
3.1.3 Protection against Lightning
The use of lightning protecon is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All RADWIN outdoor
units are designed with surge liming circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes.
RADWIN recommends the use of addional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby
lightning strikes.
3.1.4 General
• It is recommended that installaon of outdoor units be contracted to a professional installer.
• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunicaon lines, remove jewelry or
any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
• Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
• Use extreme care when working at heights.
• When using an AC power source for RADWIN devices, always use the AC power adapter supplied by
RADWIN.
• Use the right tools!
• Do not mount an radio unit upside down or horizontally. Doing this may void you product warranty.
