Consolette Installation Guidelines

RF Operational Characteristics

Your APX™ 7500 Multi-Band Consolettes contains a digital mobile wireless two-way radio. When
the Consolette is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy.

Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance

!
C a u t i o n

Operational Cautions

• Because of danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform
any unauthorized modifications of equipment.
• DO NOT operate the transmitter of any Consolette unless all RF connectors are secure and all
connectors are properly terminated.
• All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with Motorola Standards and
Guideline for Communications Sites "R56" 68P81089E50 and specified installation instructions
for safe operation.
• Slots and openings in the Consolette housing are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not
be blocked or covered.
• Only an authorized technician familiar with the Consolette should service equipment.

Lightning and Surge Suppression

General

The installation of Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) devices is a requirement for all
communication sites and is essential for all facilities where communication-related electronics and
electrical equipment are in use. Surges and transient power anomalies are potentially destructive
electrical disturbances, the most damaging being over-voltage occurrences and short duration over-
voltage events. Sometimes referred to as "spikes," high-energy transient power anomalies can arise
from inductive load switching of other events within the power system or capacitive and inductive
coupling from environmental events, such as nearby lightning activity. Environmental and inductive
power anomalies are wideband occurrences with a frequency range from close to DC to well into the
RF high frequency spectrum. It is critical that each point-of-entry (AC, telephone, LAN, signal/control,
and RF) into the equipment area be protected against these anomalies. This protection is essential
to reduce the risk of personal injury, physical equipment damage, and loss of operations (equipment
downtime).
