Additional Outdoor Site Requirements
The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60°C (-31 to
140°F).
Additional Indoor Site Requirements
The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system:
• For IDU-C units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clearance for
operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 “)
clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables
• The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122
°F) at a humidity of up to 90%, non condensing
Stage 3: RF Survey
The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the installation site, to
determine whether there are available channels within the radio operating
frequency band. An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer.
It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before
going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions.
You should perform the RF survey at both proposed link sites.
The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge
the worst-case radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration for a good RF
survey.
Note
It is possible to install the link and use the RADWIN Manager to find a clear
channel. Each frequency channel can be evaluated in turn. Achievement of a
clear channel is indicated by the marker in the Quality bar on the Channel
Setting window (see Figure 5-5) moving into the green area.
