Installing the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem

Setting up the antenna mast

Information on how to install the antenna mast is not included in these installation
instructions. Please observe all the safety provisions and other notes contained in the
assembly instructions for the antenna mast. In particular, make sure the antenna mast
has sufficient load capacity. If you are installing the mast on the roof, make sure the roof
is fully sealed again afterwards.
If necessary, you can attach the mast brackets to the mast when you install it.

Protecting the mast against lightning

Preparation
The outdoor modem is not designed to withstand being struck directly by lightning
and must be protected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be installed in
areas that are protected against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The cor-
responding separation distance (IEC 62305) must be complied with.
Earthing (grounding) and lightning protection work may only be carried out by elec-
tricians specifically qualified for such work.
The appropriate earthing (grounding) clamps must be used to create an equipoten-
tial bonding between a cable shield and an equipotential bonding bar that complies
with regulations (for sources see "Earthing (gounding) clamps" on page 25).
