1. Introduction

1.3.7. Servicing

Do not open the cover of this product to attempt service unless instructed by a RuggedMAX™
certified technician. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Removing the covers or
modifying any part of this device voids its warranty.
Keep away from electric power lines.
You can be killed if the antennas are in close proximity to electric power lines. Carefully
read and follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may
be exposed to hazardous environments and high voltage. Use caution when installing
the outdoor system.

1.3.8. Antenna Grounding Requirements

The antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the NEC. Of particular note is the
requirement that the grounding conductor not be less than 10 AWG (Cu). The scheme should
be either in accordance with UL 96 and 96A Lightning Protection Components and Installation
Requirements for Lightning Protection Systems, or tested in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497.

1.3.9. Outdoor Grounding System

Verify that the base station is grounded.
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity. It is the installer's responsibility to install this device in
accordance with the local electrical codes.

1.3.10. User ports and power supply

If the length of outdoor exposed communication lines is greater than 40 m (140 feet), these lines
must be treated as TNV-1 circuits. The installer must ensure that the power supply and network
ports are designed for full compliance with the TNV-1 telecommunication network.

1.3.11. Safety Hazards

Installing the WiN7000 High Power Base Station can pose a serious hazard. Be sure
to take precautions to avoid the following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
• Injuries from dropping tools
• Contact with AC wiring (power system connection)
To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
