Powerline
Warning:
Avaya warns that failure to comply with power and safety instructions could cause harm to
persons and equipment.
Ensure that the following precautions are implemented:
Warning:
Coming in contact with power lines can be lethal.
• Ensure that there are no accessible power lines near the installation site to avoid
accidental or incidental human contact with these lines.
• Ensure that antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables cannot come into contact
with these powerlines. Try to plan for potential leaning or falling of this equipment into
these lines.
• You may get injured or killed if you are touching or holding any part of equipment when
it contacts electric power lines.
• Ensure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly
or indirectly with power lines.
• If anything, such as a wire or mast, does come in contact with a powerline, DO NOT
TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Call the power company.
• Do not attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
Installation
Before installing the WLAN AP 8120-O on the mast ensure the following conditions are met
for the mast:
• The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line must be
at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This ensures that the mast
does not contact the power line if it falls either during installation or later.
• Make sure that all towers and masts are securely grounded. Securely grounded
equipment helps to prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-
up, or short circuit.
Lightning surge protection
The Avaya-provided series indoor Ethernet surge arrester (lightning protector) provides high-
level protection for the Ethernet and/or Power over Ethernet (POE) equipment located inside
