Installation
4.1 Scope of This Chapter
This chapter covers the procedures for the hardware installation and alignment of a RADWIN
2000+ Series sector in accordance with prior planning. (See Site Survey.) It is intended to
assist qualified field technicians.
4.2 Safety Practices and Provisions
4.2.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the antennas of the units 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.
4.2.2 Grounding
All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition:
•
All ODUs should be grounded by a wire with diameter of at least 10 AWG.
RADWIN 2000+ Series 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 National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70‐1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian
Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding
outdoor units, masts, lead‐in wiring and discharge units. It also lays down the size of
grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. RADWIN
2000+ Series ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Ground in accordance with the
Local Electrical Regulations. The RG‐45 connector must be connected to the ground
shield of the CAT‐5e cable.
